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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Well obviously, to start, if you take the word "liar" and spell it backwards, you get the word "rail". This is clearly sexual connotation. The fact that it is followed with an exclamation mark symbolizes the sheer orgasmic power of this particular "rail"ing. As for the next lines: terracotta pie is clearly a symbol for Iraq, and the banana is a symbol for the United States. By using phallic imagery, the author of this clever metaphor is symbolizing the united states' "railing" of Iraq... "terracotta" is a common building material, commonly used in the Middle East. By calling it a terracotta "pie", the author is describing Iraq as being destroyed... splattered.... railed. "Is there a perfect way of holding you baby" is symbolic of the US's occupation of Iraq, which exists within the "vicinity of obscenity". The next phrase "do we all learn defeat from the whores with bad feat" is obviously a metaphor for Osama Bin' Laden... Osama Bin Laden is notorious for having bad feat, and he is also quite clearly a whore. The United States must defeat the whore with bad feet i.e. Osama Bin Laden in its quest to rid itself of evil "ism's", in this case, terrorism. The next phrase that must be analyzed is "Beat the meat (Beat the meat), Treat the feet, To the sweet, Milky seat." The meat in this case is the United States, and we must metaphorically "beat the meat", or use our military in order to cure the "bad feet" of the evil terrorists, by metaphorically ejaculating on them or "treating the feet to the sweet Milky seat". The song ends by repeating banana banana terracotta banana terracotta terracotta pie over and over again to symbolize how America will be in Iraq forever "curing feet".
