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.
Breathe, trust, bless me
And release
Climb hard, or never be seen
Closed off, rescue to breathe
Just bless me
Two sided time
Your rebirth can't hurt
Branch out behind
The pain
Closure has come to me
Myself
You will never belong
To me
Closure has come to me
Myself
You will never belong
To me
Had to turn
And lay down
You're the sting of disease
Phase you out
Should've seen this coming
Go on
Confusing this soul
Hold my breath
Till you rupture
Three days aside
Your rebirth can't hurt
Branch out behind
Pride
Closure has come to me
Myself
You will never belong
To me
Closure has come to me
Myself
You will never belong
To me
Like a leech
I hold on
As if we belonged
To some
Precious pure dream
Cast off
You've seen what's beneath
Now fail me
Faulty closure
Faulty closure
Faulty closure
Faulty closure
Closure has come to me
Myself
You will never belong
To me
Closure has come to me
Myself
You will never belong
To me
Go
And release
Climb hard, or never be seen
Closed off, rescue to breathe
Just bless me
Two sided time
Your rebirth can't hurt
Branch out behind
The pain
Closure has come to me
Myself
You will never belong
To me
Closure has come to me
Myself
You will never belong
To me
Had to turn
And lay down
You're the sting of disease
Phase you out
Should've seen this coming
Go on
Confusing this soul
Hold my breath
Till you rupture
Three days aside
Your rebirth can't hurt
Branch out behind
Pride
Closure has come to me
Myself
You will never belong
To me
Closure has come to me
Myself
You will never belong
To me
Like a leech
I hold on
As if we belonged
To some
Precious pure dream
Cast off
You've seen what's beneath
Now fail me
Faulty closure
Faulty closure
Faulty closure
Faulty closure
Closure has come to me
Myself
You will never belong
To me
Closure has come to me
Myself
You will never belong
To me

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
chevelle is funny cause they can be a metal band, yet can be religious dudes. they actually rarely sing about it (i dont know why the hell people think everyone of their songs has a relgious meaning. the only w/ 1 on wonder whats next is el diablo). closure is about exacly what the title says- closure after a relationship
