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.
In the rain
I'm walking slowly.
There's a light
In your apartment. I
Don't know why
I ache for you
It's all right if
You're undecided or
If you're scared that
You might like it.
If it's true
I ache for you
There's no rhyme and
There's no reason.
You're the secret in the back of my skull
There's no logic
So please believe me
Love's confusing but it never gets dull
It's getting late,
Anticipation.
If we talk,
Communication,
Then you know
I ache for you
Yes, sometimes
It's just desire,
Another problem that you really don't want, but
Anyway, I ache for you
There's no rhyme
And there's no reason.
You know the secret in the back of my skull.
There's no logic
So please believe me.
Love's confusing but it never gets,
It never gets dull.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.
And I'm tired
Of so much wanting and
What if?
Don't even think it.
Why not?
There's no rhyme and
There's no reason.
Put a secret in the back of my skull (back of my skull)
There's no logic
So please believe me.
Love's confusing but it never gets dull (never gets dull).
There's no rhyme
And there's no reason.
You're the secret in the back of my skull.
There's no logic
So please believe me.
Love's confusing but it never gets dull,
It never gets dull.
It never gets dull.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.
I'm walking slowly.
There's a light
In your apartment. I
Don't know why
I ache for you
It's all right if
You're undecided or
If you're scared that
You might like it.
If it's true
I ache for you
There's no rhyme and
There's no reason.
You're the secret in the back of my skull
There's no logic
So please believe me
Love's confusing but it never gets dull
It's getting late,
Anticipation.
If we talk,

Yes, sometimes
It's just desire,
Another problem that you really don't want, but

So please believe me.

It never gets dull.
I ache for you.

It never gets dull.
It never gets dull.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
