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'm so rushed off my feet
Looking for Gordon Street
So much I need to say
I'm sorry that it's on her wedding day
'Cause she's so right for me
Her daddy disagrees
He's always hated me
Because I never got a J-O-B
'Cause she's mine
And I'm glad I crashed the wedding
It's better than regretting
I could have been a loser kid
Who ran away and hid
But it's the best thing that I ever did
'Cause true love lasts forever
And now we're back together
As if he never met her
So looking back
I'm glad I crashed the wedding
The neighbours spread the word
And my mum cried when she heard
I stole my girl away
From everybody gathered there that day
And just in time
And I'm glad I crashed the wedding
It's better than regretting
I could have been a loser kid
Who ran away and hid
I said I'd do it and I did
'Cause true love lasts forever
And now we're back together
As if he never met her
So looking back
I'm glad I crashed the wedding
Don't wish her being
Mad at me for taking her away
'Cause anyway she didn't wanna stay
So please believe me when I say
She's glad I crashed the wedding
It's better than regretting
The ring she got was lame
She couldn't take the pain
She didn't want a silly second name
'Cause true love lasts forever (true love lasts forever)
And now we're back together
He might as well forget her
And walk away
She's glad I crashed the wedding
(We're back together)
It's better than regretting
(It's better than regretting)
The ring she got was lame
She couldn't take the pain
She didn't wanna silly second name
(No, no no-no)
'Cause true love lasts forever
(True love lasts)
And now we're back together
He might as well forget her
And walk away
She's glad I crashed the wedding

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.
