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.
Allah! Allah! Allah! Allah!
I studied carefully,
and I do believe
the best of heavens is to except is Islam
I hope that book is right
they promise paradise
I'm going for the bonus
of a martyr's reward
And when I fight
I know he makes me strong
And when I die
I know I can't be wrong
I know my only chance is
Allah! Allah! Allah! Allah!
The prophet has summoned us to attack
He said we must in his defense
against those who don't believe
The last day grows near
my belief takes away the fear
I made the right choice
My God's the only God
And when I fight
I know he makes me strong
And when I die
I know I can't be wrong
I know my only chance is
Allah! Allah! Allah! Allah!
When the infant girl buried alive
is asked for which crime she is slain
When the records of men's deeds
are laid open and heaven is stripped bare
When hell burns fiercely and paradise is brought here
then each soul will know what it has done
It's time to party with
Allah! Allah! Allah! Allah!

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.
OMFG THIS SONGS SUCKS!!!! i dont know if i know the correct meaning of it but from i understand is that your saying that ISLAM is a terrorist religion and that people are drawn by allah to go kill all the others with different views. Just because there were terrorist attacks such as 9/11, because the terrorist belived if they kill americans they will go to heaven. Well you cant judge 1/5th of the world just because some dumbfucks got brain washed.
How come no1 makes a song "christianity" and talk about hitler and how christians are made of evil. Everytime it comes to hitler everyone calls him Satan and his army, but they never call him a true christian who killed because he only belived on christ and didnt care about the rest.
FUCK! this is getting out of subject, look, im not saying any religion is better than the other. What i am saying is that dont discriminate, i hate being called a terrorist because my religion is Islam (actually i dont know jack shit about it, im a none beliver). Get to know something before you say anything about it.
