Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Right, wrong, what to do
Someday, it will come to you
Hostile Indians
We named a summer camp for you
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I'm in utter dismay
I've got nothing to say
Harmless children
We named our soldiers after you
Don't be a coconut
God is tryin' to talk to you
We could drag it out
But that's for other bands to do
I've got nothing to say
I got nothing to say
I got nothing to say
I got nothing to say
I got nothing to give
Got no reason to live
But I will fight to survive
I've got nothing to hide
Wish I wasn't so shy
I'd like to watch
I'd like to read
I'd like a part
I'd like the lead
But I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to give
Got no reason to live
Oh, I'll kill to survive
I've got nothing to hide
Wish I wasn't so shy
Someday, it will come to you
Hostile Indians
We named a summer camp for you
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I'm in utter dismay
I've got nothing to say
Harmless children
We named our soldiers after you
Don't be a coconut
God is tryin' to talk to you
We could drag it out
But that's for other bands to do
I've got nothing to say
I got nothing to say
I got nothing to say
I got nothing to say
I got nothing to give
Got no reason to live
But I will fight to survive
I've got nothing to hide
Wish I wasn't so shy
I'd like to watch
I'd like to read
I'd like a part
I'd like the lead
But I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to give
Got no reason to live
Oh, I'll kill to survive
I've got nothing to hide
Wish I wasn't so shy

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Light Up The Sky

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm with fallingcantturnback. I think you are all too dismissive on this song. There's much more depth to it than just an "ironic" song. I think it represents his disillusionment and his apathy. Partly thinking of a bygone era, while at the same time not having anything to add to the present. The last verse:
I've got nothing to say (x 4) I got nothing to give Got no reason to live Oh, I'll kill to survive I've got nothing to hide Wish I wasn't so shy.
I think sums it all up. He's apathetic, almost against his own will. He wants to make a difference, but realizes he won't do a thing until faced with survival. Sounds like a classic modern American.
