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.
strange days a transtional place
t think it's time that you remember
cut off your ears tear out your eyes
some things are gone forever
Let's start by destroying the world you know
take away all the things that you control
all the words that you can't understand
they"ve made me what you think i am
trying to move things with our minds
in an attempt to travel back in time
to take away all the pain we've seen
to strip our minds and destroy our dreams
life medicates the tears we cry
made of materials that blind our eyes
fall unconcious in an altered state
focus hard before its to late
lunatic craze the end of our days
some things are better left unsaid
delete the truth and what it means to you
create your own inside your head
let's end by ignoring the world we know
embrace all the things we cant control
all the lies that i'll never understand
make me hate what you think i am
t think it's time that you remember
cut off your ears tear out your eyes
some things are gone forever
Let's start by destroying the world you know
take away all the things that you control
all the words that you can't understand
they"ve made me what you think i am
trying to move things with our minds
in an attempt to travel back in time
to take away all the pain we've seen
to strip our minds and destroy our dreams
life medicates the tears we cry
made of materials that blind our eyes
fall unconcious in an altered state
focus hard before its to late
lunatic craze the end of our days
some things are better left unsaid
delete the truth and what it means to you
create your own inside your head
let's end by ignoring the world we know
embrace all the things we cant control
all the lies that i'll never understand
make me hate what you think i am

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
