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.
There's nothing wrong with me
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with me
I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish
When we're crying for our next fix
There's nothing wrong with me
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with me
I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish
When we're crying for our next fix

Gonorrhea, gorgonzola
Gonorrhea, gorgonzola
Single files of clean feedings
I can't see your soul, soul through your eyes
The crying walls of sliding architecture
Kidnapped by the likes of pure conjecture
Upholstery loving men all dwelling in the wells
Kidnapped by the likes of pure conjecture
Killers never hurt feelings

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
You're all wrong the best part is when Serj says, "upholstery loving men all dwelling in the wells kidnapped by the likes of pure conjecture". I can see why you missed it since the line suddenly disappeared...(fix the lyrics!)
I think this song is about a person addicted to drugs.
'There's nothing wrong with me There's something wrong with you There's something wrong with me'
This is the person addicted to drugs denying he/she has a problem.
'Killers never hurt feelings'
Drugs always make you feel good, but they fuck you over.
'Gonorrhea gorgonzola'
The gonorrhea part has to do with the 'killers never hurt feelings' part. People get gonorrhea because they want the pleasure of sex but they are careless and dont think of the bad things that can happen (STDs).
Gorgonzola is a blue-veined cheese, so it means veins.
'single files of clean feedings'
'Single files' would be lines of cocaine, and 'clean feedings' means when you get your fix you feel normal and cleansed.
'I can't see your soul soul through your eyes'
You aren't really your self when you're high, its just a cover.
'the crying walls of sliding architecture'
'crying walls' is the person high using drugs as a cover to make him/her feel good when he/she really doesn't feel good inside. In a definition architecture is defined as 'the orderly arrangement of parts' so 'sliding architecture' means the person is not acting like them self, you act disorderly when you're high.
'kidnapped by the likes of pure conjecture'
the person doing drugs doesn't realize what he/she is doing is messing them up, he/she only knows it makes him/her feel good.
'upholstery loving men, all dwelling in the wells'
upholstery is stuffing or covering in furnature, 'upholstery' in this song is drugs, and 'all dwelling in the wells' would mean people on drugs are hiding themselves from themself.
I'm really stuck on 'I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish/don't eat the fish'. Someone add to this please!
I love this song, it is the best on Mezmerize!
I think that line: I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish/don't eat the fish.<br /> <br /> It's because he wants to sell that fish and so get more drugs. Therefore he does not want the (couple's) stepson eat that fish.
@my_username_sucks I think the "I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish" line portrays a couple of junkies who spend all their money on coke that theres is no food around the house for the poor stepson, so he has hungrily taken an interest in the fish tank
@my_username_sucks the fish is where the coccaine is hidden. in brazil is common to use this reference. and there is the "escama" reference to the crystals on the cocaine. escama de peixe = fish scale
i LOVE the piano towards the end of the song.
From the cd cover thingy the lyrics are:
There's nothing wrong with me There's something wrong with you There's something wrong with me I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish when we're crying for our next fix (repeat above) Chorus: killers never hurt feelings X3 Gonorrhea gorgonzola X2
single files of clean feedings I can't see your soul soul through your eyes the crying walls of sliding architecture kidnapped by the likes of pure conjecture (chorus)
single files of clean feedings there's nothing wrong with me there's something wrong with you wrong with you and I when we're crying for our next fix there's nothing wrong with me there's something wrong with you wrong with you and I when we're crying for our next fix (chorus) single files of clean feeding X2 there's nothing wrong with me there's something wrong with you there's something wrong with me I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish there's nothing wrong with me there's something wrong with you there's nothing wrong with me there's something wrong with you there's something wrong with me I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish there's nothing wrong with me there's something wrong with you don't eat the fish
Serj has an amazing voice... LOL. When he says : "There's something with you with youuuuu and I when we're crying for our next fix..." OMG... I play that one part over and over.
"Fish" is used in Lost in Hollywood.. "You were the biggest fish out here." Gonorrhea is also mentioned in another SOAD song, too.
As far as interpreting this song, usually, I love a challenge, but I'm not even going to try with this one. I just love Serj's vocal range in the song though. Especially during the lines "I can't see your soul soul through your eyes / the crying walls of sliding architecture / kidnapped by the likes of pure conjecture"
i think this is about a person who is addicted to drugs. "there's nothing wrong with me there's something wrong with you, there's something wrong with me i hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish"
this person is denying they have an addiction and quickly change the subject to get off the subject of drugs.
its about drugged and selfish people
This song gives me the lulz.
probably about a cocaine addict?
best song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
