its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Made of love
Made of sin
Mayday - calling form outer space
I dive in
Here I am
Breathing, I'm a miracle
I'm on fire - I'm cold
I can't be controlled
I'm alive and I'm dead
And I'm ready for the take off
Life! Life!
Shocking irresistible
Life! Life1
Crazy unpredictable
You go Hu Hu Hu
If you want some action
Shocking irresistible
Got no fear
I feel no pain
Only blood rushing on its way
Through my veins
Here I am
Breathing, I'm invincible
I am great but I'm small
I'm a brick in a wall
I'm alive and I'm dead
And I'm ready to take off
Big bang beating a distant drum
Hear the echoes fill the night
Big bang making the walls come down
For the children of the light
I dive right in...

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Lots of folks tend to spend thier time rationalizing decisions, over-analyzing situations, hedging themselves against life's uncertainty. I like this song because it lays waste to that perspective of thinking. Its about going after your dreams full-throttle, good or bad, win or lose -- just living life rather than "thinking" about living. Kind of like the Nike ad, "just do it"
