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.
Columbia: It was great when it all begain
I was a regular Frankie fan
But it was over when he had the plan
To start a working on a muscle man
Now the only thing that gives me hope
Is my love of a certain dope
Rose tints my world keeps me
Safe from my touble and pain
Rocky: I'm just seven hours old
Truly beautiful to behold
And somebody should be told
My libido hasn't been control
Now the only thing I've come to trust
Is an orgasmic rush of lust
Rose tints my world and keeps me
Safe from my trouble and pain
Brad: It's beyond me
Help me mommy
I'll be good you'll see
Take this dream away
What's this?
Let's see
I feel sexy
What's come over me?
Woo! Here it comes again
Janet: Whoa, I feel released
Bad times deceased
My confidence has increased
Reality is here
The game has been disbanded
My mind has been expanded
It's a gas that Frankie's landed
His lust is so sincere
Frank: What ever happeed to Faye Wray?
That delicate satin draped frame
As it clung to her thigh,
How I started to cry
Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same
Give yourself over to absolute pleasure
Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh
Erotic nightmares beyond any measure
And sensual day dreams to treasure forever
Can't you see it?
Woah oh oh
Don't dream it be it
Don't dream it be it
Dr Scott: We've got to get out of this drap before this decadence saps our wills. I've got to be strong and try to hang on, or else my mind may well snap and my life will be lived for the thrills
Brad: It's beyond me
Help me mommy
God bless Lily St. Cyr
Frank: My my my my my my my my
My my my my my
I'm a wild and untamed thing
I'm a bee with a deadly sting
You get a hit and your mind goes ping
Your heart'll thump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sounds rock on
We're gonna shake it till the life has gone
Rose tint my world keep me
Safe from my trouble and pain
We're a wild and untamed thing
We're a bee with a deadly sting
You get a hit and your mind goes ping
Your heart'll thump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sounds rock on
We're gonna shake it till the life has gone
Rose tint my world keep me safe from my trouble and pain
We're a wild and untamed thing
We're a bee with a deadly sting
You get a hit and your mind goes ping
Your heart'll thump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sounds rock on
We're gonna shake it till the life has gone
Rose tint my world keep me safe from my trouble and pain
Riff-Raff: Frank-N-Furter it's all over
Your mission is a failure
Your lifestyles too extreme
I'm your new commander
You are now my prinoser
We return to Transylania
Prepare the transit beam
Frank: Wait, I can explain.

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.
