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.
It's gonna be
It's gonna be is gonna be
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be is gonna be

Yo aujourd'hui, tout te parait si mal
Et tu prends toutes les balles que la vie te lance
Tu restes dans ce monde sombre et banal
Au point de ne plus sortir de ce canal
Elle t'a accusé, peut être même usé
Tout s'enchaîne autour de toi comme fusée
Tu vois ce monde comme une murette
Et tout t'empêche de souffler
Tu camoufles, dans ce gouffre et cela s'empire
Yo, je comprends que la vie ne t'a pas fait beaucoup de cadeaux
Mais tu ne vas pas rester à pleurer avec ton sac à dos
Lève tes fesses, va marcher et tu verras que Satan est très beau
Fait le pas, tu verras que cela vaut le coup de faire le saut
It's gonna be
It's gonna be is gonna be
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be is gonna be

The radio and the news makes us emotionally confused
Don't let it take away what's most important to you
We all know
That's it real so let's recognise the fear
Reverse engineer for your family and ya peers
Stand up
Be the beacon you've been seeking all along
It still takes a village Even though we're stuck at home
Ten hut
Be a soldier, bolster your community whether
We get the vaccine or Stuck with mask screens
Stay up
Do what you do how you do but when you do
Just just you remember it's not just you because
The world is cruel don't be a fool
Time to look into what's up
See the world around buckle to its knees
But within we see tough tenacity
Just another version of the world if you ask me
So nothing changed but the change so
It's gonna be
It's gonna be is gonna be
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be is gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be is gonna be
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be is gonna be

Holiday

Bee Gees
@[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 Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
