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.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION :
The wind moved that moonbeam
that night for the first time put on thick make-up
Make lips red (who)cares which year it became frost
I have my obsession
Ruins became Heaven
How many times had it happened
Not afraid of far mountains long rivers
Who calculated the past
When laugh half tears flow
In an eye blink two hearts at two (different) corners of the sky
Windows are for me to observe
you're a memory away
I was touched
how many empty thoughts
Oh....
covetion
difficult to bear a relationship wound
Oh....
have to take things as it comes
then there's no worries
I know it like the back of my hand
Look lightly at the turbulence among common folks
Oh...
风吹动那月光
夜初上浓妆
点红唇管何年发成霜
我有我的痴狂
废墟成天堂
曾几度过往
不怕山远水长
谁把往事思量
笑时泪半行
转眼两颗心天各一方
窗我拿来守望
你一念之差
我动情一场
多少空想
喔……
渴望
难挡一次情伤
喔….
要为所欲为
才无恙
我了如指掌
轻看人间风浪
喔……

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.
