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.
Seep will carry us
After mentioned having a lesson
It's the least discerning place
We can die too
We both should last another day
Another failed adventure straight to nowhere
One more you say, What comes is these
It's all the better your feat seems to carry well
Could we die too?
So soon
We toss our failures at the earth
Connect into a cross
Stripped away another rule
Blame it all because
We toss our failures at the earth
Stripped away from under
So shy cross my heart ascend
With images to fall apart to die
What don't we know?
What should we know?
Slipping under is just the beginning of firsts
Could we die too?
So soon
We toss our failures at the earth
Connect into a cross
Stripped away another rule
Blame it all because
We toss our failures at the earth
Stripped away from under
We still forget to mention
Our waste upon the arms
We still forget to mention
The hope that is the cause
We still forget to mention
Our waste upon the arms
We still forget to mention
The hope that is the cause
Well could we die too?
Well could we die?
Well could we die too?
We couldn't die
We toss our failures at the earth
Connect into a cross
Stripped away another rule
Blame it all because
We toss our failures at the earth
Stripped away from under
After mentioned having a lesson
It's the least discerning place
We can die too
We both should last another day
Another failed adventure straight to nowhere
One more you say, What comes is these
It's all the better your feat seems to carry well
Could we die too?
So soon
We toss our failures at the earth
Connect into a cross
Stripped away another rule
Blame it all because
We toss our failures at the earth
Stripped away from under
So shy cross my heart ascend
With images to fall apart to die
What don't we know?
What should we know?
Slipping under is just the beginning of firsts
Could we die too?
So soon
We toss our failures at the earth
Connect into a cross
Stripped away another rule
Blame it all because
We toss our failures at the earth
Stripped away from under
We still forget to mention
Our waste upon the arms
We still forget to mention
The hope that is the cause
We still forget to mention
Our waste upon the arms
We still forget to mention
The hope that is the cause
Well could we die too?
Well could we die?
Well could we die too?
We couldn't die
We toss our failures at the earth
Connect into a cross
Stripped away another rule
Blame it all because
We toss our failures at the earth
Stripped away from under

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 song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
i think this song is about living in your fantasy to escape reality. midnight to midnight means living in a fantasy will bring us from life to death. screamline's interpretation is good too. but with every song there are a million interpretations remember that.
