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.
Pare, pare pokreću svijet
Politiku i nogomet
Parama ja kupujem sve
Jahte, konje, zamkove
Al' upamti frajeru
Da ti pare ne mogu
Kupit' raju iskrenu
Para vrti tamo
Gdje burgija ne može
Parama mogu kupiti sve
Političare, novinare, sudije
Al' upamti frajeru
Da ti pare ne mogu
Kupit' raju iskrenu
Dobre jarane, para kupit' ne može
Jarane, ne može
Dobre jarane, para kupit' ne može
Jarane, para kupit' ne može
Parama mogu sve
Lijepe žene imati
Svi oko mene moraju
Glavom klimati
Al' upamti frajeru
Da ti pare ne mogu
Kupit raju iskrenu
Dobre jarane, para kupit' ne može
Jarane, ne može
Dobre jarane, para kupit' ne može
Jarane, para kupit' ne može
A kad hladni vjetar dođe
U tvoje krajeve
I kad ti srce staro
Ispune ledenice
Pitat' ćeš se zašto
Figure šahovske
S one druge strane
Niko ne miče
Dobre jarane, para kupit' ne može
Jarane, ne može
Dobre jarane, para kupit' ne može
Jarane, para kupit' ne može
Dobre jarane, ne može
Jarane, ne može
Dobre jarane, ne može
Jarane, ne može
Politiku i nogomet

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”

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.
