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.
No you can't see me
No you can't meet me
Yeah I'm on my game
That's right I'm in my shades
See the cameras flashing
Anybody, any time for action
You're the main attraction
Hey, in my shades
Pull up in my spot looking hot everybody knows
Don't got no stress in my head cause stress don't fly in my fancy clothes
Yeah, they want to take my picture
Watch out those lights'll get ya
And they're calling your name
That's where I put on my frames
I tell them watch me now
Lil mama how you like me now,
On the dance floor we can work it out and bring this whole place down
Gotta stand up hands up
Big boy's in a stance like hey what?
So get on the floor
Show them what you came here for
No you can't see me
No you can't meet me
Yeah I'm on my game
That's right I'm in my shades
See the cameras flashing
Anybody any time for action
You're the main attraction
Hey, In my shades
Uh, Wanna watch me watch this
And when you watch TV, watch Chris
Got to have the whole place jumping
Cameras flashing and you know the bass pumping
Shades on like a rock star
And I'm busting out the best moves so far
Feel the air from the speakers
So so fresh from my head to my sneakers
Turn the beat up on the radio
I'm a keep the frames till I'm ready go
Till I'm gone I is,
You ain't never ever heard a song like this
Get your brain on, better get some ideas
Maybe you should holler at your boy right here
And if the girl want to get crazy,
You can find me in my shades,
No you can't see me
No you can't meet me
Yeah I'm on my game
That's right I'm in my shades
See the cameras flashing
Anybody any time for action
You're the main attraction
Hey, in my shades
No you can't see me
No you can't meet me
Yeah I'm on my game
That's right I'm in my shades
See the cameras flashing
Anybody any time for action
You're the main attraction
Hey, in my shades
No you can't meet me
Yeah I'm on my game
That's right I'm in my shades
See the cameras flashing
Anybody, any time for action
You're the main attraction
Hey, in my shades

Holiday

@[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.

Silent Planet
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
