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.
I can't breath at all
It hurts to think
that a sound could heal my wounds
feeling I've been betrayed
Black Sunday still burns you in my thoughts
I can't sleep at all
Now you're gone away
I can't fake this anymore
Guess I could blame it all
on God's game
or explain what my life's for
Caught in a winters rain
I can't remember a word you said
Take away my fear please hold on to me
I'm falling
Falling
I will trade it all
for another day
just to feel you and your warmth
but even pictures fade
Black Sunday still burns you in my thoughts
I can't see at all
did you fly away
Did the stars shine bright for you
Guess I could blame it all
on God's game
it was fate that carried you
Caught in a winters rain
I can't remember a word you said
Take away my fear please hold on to me
I'm falling
Falling
You always take away
Take away
Take away
Caught in a winters rain
I can't remember a word you said
Take away my fear please hold on to me
I'm falling
Falling
Caught in a winters rain
I can't remember a word you said
Take away my fear please hold on to me
I'm falling
Falling
and I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
It hurts to think
that a sound could heal my wounds
feeling I've been betrayed
Black Sunday still burns you in my thoughts
I can't sleep at all
Now you're gone away
I can't fake this anymore
Guess I could blame it all
on God's game
or explain what my life's for
Caught in a winters rain
I can't remember a word you said
Take away my fear please hold on to me
I'm falling
Falling
I will trade it all
for another day
just to feel you and your warmth
but even pictures fade
Black Sunday still burns you in my thoughts
I can't see at all
did you fly away
Did the stars shine bright for you
Guess I could blame it all
on God's game
it was fate that carried you
Caught in a winters rain
I can't remember a word you said
Take away my fear please hold on to me
I'm falling
Falling
You always take away
Take away
Take away
Caught in a winters rain
I can't remember a word you said
Take away my fear please hold on to me
I'm falling
Falling
Caught in a winters rain
I can't remember a word you said
Take away my fear please hold on to me
I'm falling
Falling
and I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling

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.

@[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.

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.
Well in my opinion this song is about Scooter losing faith in God because of the death of his girlfriend's baby. Just think about it. "I'm falling" always seems to stick out when I think of the song this way.
There's a lot of loss on this CD... this strikes me as someone really close to him dying (possibly on a Sunday), and he's looking for someone to blame, but he doesn't know who...
this song means quite a bit to me, it makes me want to cry. i see it as Scooter speaking of a time when an ex g/f did something cruel to him. after my ex broke up with me she slept with her friend on a Sunday night, and called me and told me about it b/c she needed someone to talk to about it. and from that moment on, i was emotionally dead. and everytime i looked at her for a long time after, all i saw was her doing that to me ("Black Sunday still burns you in my thoughts...") this whole album is amazingly emotional and it's something i'll cherish for a long time. a very long fucking time.
ever sice my mom was in this really bad wreck this song has made me feel .................better about everything.cold is the best .
this song is awesome but it brings me down... it really is sad
i read somewhere that the song was about scooter (the lead singer)'s girlfriend's baby dying 2 weeks after it was born...not sure of the accuracy tho
Its too hard sometimes for me to listen to this song. This song means alot to me, I went through a hard time getting over my ex and me and her broke up on a Sunday. It's almost like the exact emotions I felt for the situation," Did the stars shine bright for you Guess I could blame it all on God's game it was fate that carried you"
It's "It hurts to think that time could heal my wounds"
and " It wad faith that carried you."
It's "It hurts to think that time could heal my wounds"
and " It was faith that carried you."
This song is about some one (plural?) that Scooter knew that died in a house fire. Every time i listen to this song, i get down, but you know...its really cool that he DEALS with it. I admire Scooter fir that.
