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 feel like a want to be inside of you
When the sun goes down
As long as I'm gonna be around you
When the sun goes down, yeah
Oh, my heart
Takin' me back to blue
I've fallen into my own senses
Another night, another day
It's better this way
Let the music play
Oh, my heart
Only you can know how I feel
Every day is an ordeal to get by
Melancholy, ever so
Broken skin
Mercury rising
I feel like a want to be inside of you
When the sun goes down
I feel like a want to be inside of you
When the sun goes down, yeah
Oh, my heart
There's movement across the tracks
Hoping to played it back, all right
Lucky me, lucky you
They're givin' us a two minute warning
Oh, my heart
Changing the way I kill
By changing the way I feel
Step forward
Everybody, around the world understands
What makes a child of man (yes, come)
I feel like a want to be inside of you
When the sun goes down
I feel like a want to be inside of you
When the sun goes down, yeah
I feel like a want to be inside of you
When the sun goes down
As long as I'm gonna be around you
When the sun goes down, yeah
Feel like I want to be you more than I
Get around, come around
See you every night, hear the crowd the sound of violence
Shake it out
I feel like a want to be inside of you
Ready now
Going to let it all out
Ready now
When the sun goes down
We'll be coming out ready or not
Going to let it all out
When the sun goes down
Ready now
Going to let it all out
Ready now
When the sun goes down
We'll be coming out ready or not
Going to let it all out
When the sun goes down
Ready now
Going to let it all out

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

“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.
damn, this song is great, i love it... very sexual, he basically wants to make love to the woman he loves, he want to be together with her
THIS SONG IS GREAT
indeed
i think 'i wanna be inside of you' means he wanna stick something inside someone he hates, when the sun goes down.
The PV scenery of this song the hill of England, which is the setting of "Watership Down From Northeast", which is famous for children's literature? The scenery is very similar, and there are holes in the video that allow rabbits to pass through. The lyrics sing the feelings of a rabbit and sound like saying, "I feel like a want to be Inside of burrow when the sun goes down." ──────────── Cassius - The Sound of Violence (Official Video) - YouTube youtube.com/watch
