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.
It's when we walk in the poring rain
It's how I feel when you say my name
It's amazing
It's when I watch you as you sleep at night
Touch your face in the morning light
It's amazing
Ohh
I loose control when you caress me
Spin me round like a DVD
It's amazing
If all the galaxies should collide
I know our love would still survive
It's amazing
Amazing
Your love is so amazing
Precious intoxicating
Wondrously devastating
I love it when you touch me gently
You make my heart race quickly
It's amazing
You make me feel like I'm your king
With all the treasures that you bring
It's amazing
You know I still can't get over
The first time that you touched my shoulder
It's amazing
Ohh
A million moments since have past
You were my first kiss and my last
It's amazing

Amazing
It's in the way smile
that's when you pull me under
I'm in you secret place
It feels like thunder
As mountains turn to sand
I know that
You and I will always stand
Your love is so amazing
Precious intoxicating, precious intoxicating
Wondrously devastating
It's how I feel when you say my name
It's amazing
It's when I watch you as you sleep at night
Touch your face in the morning light
It's amazing
Ohh
I loose control when you caress me
Spin me round like a DVD
It's amazing
If all the galaxies should collide
I know our love would still survive

The first time that you touched my shoulder

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
