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.
Se puede aprender a olvidar o al menos poder soportar
la nada que engendró tu ausencia me empieza a asfixiar.
Desprecio cualquier intención, inmune a toda explicación.
No existe un antídoto cuando se acaba el amor.
Ya no tienes que venir por mí, ya no hay nada más que decir.
Para exorcizarte por hoy y por siempre sin ningún motivo obvio o aparente
Para sortear tantas noches oscuras, tendré que enterrar tus promesas absurdas.
Es estéril recordar momentos que no volverán,
palabras insulsas cargadas de futilidad.
El tiempo dirá si fui yo ingenuo por decir adiós,
o acaso vos fuiste el cobarde que lo permitió.
Ya no tienes que venir por mí, ya no hay nada más que decir.
Para exorcizarte por hoy y por siempre sin ningún motivo obvio o aparente
Para sortear tantas noches oscuras, tendré que enterrar tus promesas absurdas.
la nada que engendró tu ausencia me empieza a asfixiar.
Desprecio cualquier intención, inmune a toda explicación.
No existe un antídoto cuando se acaba el amor.
Ya no tienes que venir por mí, ya no hay nada más que decir.
Para exorcizarte por hoy y por siempre sin ningún motivo obvio o aparente
Para sortear tantas noches oscuras, tendré que enterrar tus promesas absurdas.
Es estéril recordar momentos que no volverán,
palabras insulsas cargadas de futilidad.
El tiempo dirá si fui yo ingenuo por decir adiós,
o acaso vos fuiste el cobarde que lo permitió.
Ya no tienes que venir por mí, ya no hay nada más que decir.
Para exorcizarte por hoy y por siempre sin ningún motivo obvio o aparente
Para sortear tantas noches oscuras, tendré que enterrar tus promesas absurdas.

Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
