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.
Practically every one of the top 40 records being played on
every radio station in the United States is a communication to the
children to take a trip, to cop out, to groove. The psychedelic
jackets on the record albums have their own hidden symbols and
messages as well as all the lyrics to all of the top rock songs
and they all sing the same refrain: It's fun to take a trip, put acid in your veins.
I wanna reach out and touch the sky
I wanna touch the sun but I don't wanna fly
I'm gonna climb up ev'ry mountain on the moon,
And find the dish that ran away with the spoon
Supernaut
Supernaut
I've crossed the oceans, turned every bend
I found the plastic at the golden rainbow's end
I've been through magic and through life's reality
I've lived a thousand years, they never bothered me
Bothered me
Supernaut
Bothered me
Supernaut
And they all sing the same refrain:
It's fun to take a trip, put acid in your veins.
25 seconds
20 seconds and counting
T minus 15 seconds, guidence is internal
12, 11, 10, 9
ignition sequence starts
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Got no religion; don't need no friends
Got all I want and I got no need to pretend
Don't try to reach me 'cos I'll tear up your mind
I've seen the future and I've left it behind

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”
Holiday

@[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.
Magical

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.
Back in the day, Trent used to be a part of Ministry, but they got in a big argument, and Trent left.
