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.
Okay, so you've never done this before and that's cool
And all but I want you to try this with me,
Let's go, don't worry
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
I once used to dream of peace until I found you,
Once upon a time baby,
I once used to dream so sweet until I had a taste of you,
Once upon a time baby,
Reaching out to outer space dancing to awesome sounds,
This all new to you?
Reaching out to hold your close so I don't slip away,
Explore a new approach,
A whole new free I say
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
I know it's easy to imagine,
But it's easier to just do,
See, if you can't do what you imagine,
Then what is imagination to you?
Just a waste of space in your brain,
To take the place of hate,
Or things all the same,
Tell me your secrets
The things that make you tick,
I like it when you talk
Because your voice is angelesque (aye),
I want to kiss you on your space below your navalette
The taste that you keep neat, so moist like a towelette,
This will mark the day our minds and souls will connect,
Let's not forget the sex,
My heart you can collect (now now)
Yeah my heart you can collect (now now)
My heart you can collect (yeah yeah)
Have just one more cap babe babe babe
Have just one more stem babe.
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Pop it, ready, go, let it, take take take take over,
Get ready, pop it, let's go, get ready, le-le-let take it over,
Get ready, pop it, let's go, take it, just let it, take take you over,
Get ready, let's go, let's go, hey
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Soon after falling into a deep but psychedelic state
To escape the prison of our reality
A hero becomes trapped in his own peaceful place
Which immediately becomes his sanctuary,
A place filled with his wildest dreams,
This is his new home.
And all but I want you to try this with me,
Let's go, don't worry
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me

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”

@[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.
this song is awesome!!! its clearly about a guy and a girl taking shrooms for the with each other and trippin balls.
