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.
I wait for my true love, but she never came
I cry for my true love, but she never came
I leave this world never knowing who she was, departing all alone..
I'd just like to speak for a second and say that, um.. I just encourage everybody who hears this album to look towards Christ and not towards people, because people allow you to fall away. People aren't perfect. There's only one person that's perfect and that's Christ. And I see people every day who are looking at Christ and blow Christ off because something that someone else has failed on. And it's just not worth it, Christ has blessed me and every other member of this band more than any other way that I can imagine, or be spoken. Just the way everything worked out tonight was just beautiful. And I just pray for each and every one of you; we wouldn't sit here and we wouldn't do this unless, we wouldn't put the time into it unless it was trying to touch you, and trying to reach your life and I just ask, please, just give your heart to Christ, and allow Him to come in and just accept Him. It says, “If you acknowledge that you have sinned and you ask Christ to come into your life, He will enter your life. Just believe that He's died on the cross for you and risen on the third day, and Christ can live for you and, He with you. And I just pray that you just give Him that chance to do that. You don't know what you missed, you don't know what you missed until you haven't had something and realize that it's gone, then you realize what you've missed and what hasn't been in your life. And I just ask you please, just give the LORD a chance to do that. And I just hear a lot of people say that it's just, I hear a lot of people say that it's just you know, “Oh? you know, “This, some religious person is trying to force this down my throat. Oh? well that's not our intent. Our intent's not to force this down your throat. We do this because we love you and we care for the people who do hear this. And I just wish everybody just to look towards it and give it a chance, and not fall out. There is hope, you can find it, and Christ is hope and you're never gonna feel a void, you're never gonna feel that huge gap and that void in your life until you turn and you look at the truth. Even though you may not see it as the truth, I just pray that God will reveal Himself to you and you can open your eyes, just as we were in your same shoes and He opened ours, He opened our eyes eyes.. just... Even though it's this late I can't even speak. I just pray that He'll please just show you His power. This album goes out to just, the victims of rape and suicide, child molestation, people who are brokenhearted, people who just can't handle life anymore and just have to fall on their knees every night and cry. There is a better way, and we have found it. Please don't give up, there is a better way.

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
