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.
And there is no world wrapping me up
I've got a view from the valley
Living well but we're dying young
To bankrupt a blue sky
I saw the post office from the book
On my way to the west side
Going broke but I'm feeling good
I brought my girl to keep me with it
She's a suicide blonde
Dyed by her own hand, ooh.
Suicide blonde.
She's part of the big plan,
She's part of the big plan
Got a job at the DMV
And a call from my father
Got my news from the CNN
Like sheep to the slaughter
Watched the planes landing from the roof
Of my tree house in Burbank
I had that dream I was taking off
I brought my girl to keep me with it
She's a suicide blonde.
Dyed by her own hand, ooh.
Suicide blonde.
Part of the big plan,
She's part of the big plan.
Oh, la la la la
Yeah yeah yeah
I got a girl, got a girl, got a girl
To keep me with it
Got a girl, got a girl, got a girl
To keep me with it
Got a girl, got a girl, got a girl
Gotta keep me with it
She's a suicide blonde
Dyed by her own hand, ooh.
Suicide blonde.
She's part of the big plan,
She's part of the big plan, yeah.
Oh, oh
She's part of the big plan
Oh, oh
She's part of the big plan
I've got a view from the valley
Living well but we're dying young
To bankrupt a blue sky
I saw the post office from the book
On my way to the west side
Going broke but I'm feeling good
I brought my girl to keep me with it
She's a suicide blonde
Dyed by her own hand, ooh.
Suicide blonde.
She's part of the big plan,
She's part of the big plan
Got a job at the DMV
And a call from my father
Got my news from the CNN
Like sheep to the slaughter
Watched the planes landing from the roof
Of my tree house in Burbank
I had that dream I was taking off
I brought my girl to keep me with it
She's a suicide blonde.
Dyed by her own hand, ooh.
Suicide blonde.
Part of the big plan,
She's part of the big plan.
Oh, la la la la
Yeah yeah yeah
I got a girl, got a girl, got a girl
To keep me with it
Got a girl, got a girl, got a girl
To keep me with it
Got a girl, got a girl, got a girl
Gotta keep me with it
She's a suicide blonde
Dyed by her own hand, ooh.
Suicide blonde.
She's part of the big plan,
She's part of the big plan, yeah.
Oh, oh
She's part of the big plan
Oh, oh
She's part of the big plan

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
