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.

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”
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
you're wrong about this song being nonsense...it is written in Nadsat though, which is the language from the movie A Clockwork Orange (which the video for the song is based)...the title of it Never Gonna Stop (The Red Red Krovvy) is even written in it..."The Red Red Krovvy" is blood. Here's what it's about, line by line...
My Durango, # 95 In the book A Clockwork Orange the main character, Alex, and his droogs (friends) steal a car called a Durango 95.
Take me to the home, kick boots and ultra live Inside of a house with a rock outside that reads "home", Alex and his friends beat an old man and rape his wife while he watches...I'm pretty sure after the "Take me to the home" part the lyrics are wrong.
See heaven, flash real horrorshow Alex and his friends drink milk laced with drugs named Moloko which Alex discribes as being like seeing heaven. Real horrorshow means real good.
Knock it nice and smooth step back and watch it flow I'm pretty sure this isn't really what he's singing either
Yeah the devil, ride a dinosaur, he paint the monster red so the blood dont stain the floor I'm pretty sure this is wrong, but if it isnt, rob zombies probably the only person who knows what it means.
In-Out, real savage show, skorry as a shot came sickness After he gets caught Alex signs up for an expiremental treatment where they hold his eyes open, drug him, and make him watch videos of violence and sex (in-out). the drug causes him to get sick. Skorry means "fast".
So see, it's not meaningless. It's just you have to have read A Clockwork Orange or have seen the movie of it to get what it's meaning is.
The song tries to pick up on the meaning of the book "A Clockwork Orange" which is that we all have in us the ability to do good and bad, and we make the choice wheter or not we wil be good or bad. The book itself is an examination of whether or not 'evil' is innate or cultured, and reflects a dystopian future society (set in 1995 - as it was written in 1962). The song itself is using the language of the book (and subsequent film; it is an excellent example of the timelessness of the themes of Anthony Burgess' work
the satanic monster that is alex is the dinosaur<br />
This song is like.. gahh.. lol. It's Edge's THEME music! When i hear the.. "scream if you want it" i hear.. in my head. "scream if you want edge" hahahah.. eDge is hot...
such a great song. i don't even know what to say about it. it's great. :-p
The video is inspired by "A Clockwork Orange."
clocxkwork, thank you look in the back ofthe book it tells you that horror show means smooth and quick,in-out is sex...etc.
Anyone who hasnt read A Clockwork Orange shouldnt be claiming to know what this song is about. The meaning is really obvious.
as its Edge's theme song it has to be something like this.though not so good lyrics if u listen it as urself but if u listen it with Edge in my mind,it surely is worth listening!
if its edge's song it would have have been great i think it has great lyrics and tune good work keep it up!!!!
who the hell is edge?
huh
IF YOUR WONDERING WHO "EDGE" IS HES A WWF WRESTLER AND ONE OF THE SUCCESSFUL ONES ON TJE ROAD TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP , ANYWAYS BACK TO THE SONG IT NEEDS THE EDGE "YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME" AT THE BEGINING AND IT WOULD BE THE VERY BEST !!
