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.
Suteki Da Ne (FFX Theme Song)
Japanese Lyrics:
Kaze ga yoseta kotoba ni
oyoida kokoro
Kumo ga hakobu ashita ni
Hazunda koe.
Tsuki ga yureru kagami ni
Furueta kokoro
Hoshi ga nagare koboreta
Yawarakai namida.
Suteki da ne
Futari te wo tori aruketa nara
Ikitai yo
Kimi no machi ie ude no naka.
Sono mune
Karada azuke
Yoi ni magire
Yumemiru.
Kaze wa tomari kotoba wa
Yasashii maboroshi
Kumo wa yabure ashita wa
Tooku no koe.
Tsuki ga nijimu kagami wo
Nagareta kokoro
Hoshi ga yurete koboreta
Kakusenai namida.
Suteki da ne
Futari te wo tori aruketa nara
Ikitai yo
Kimi no machi ie ude no naka.
Sono kao
Sotto furete
Asa ni tokeru yumemiru
English Translation:
My heart was swimming
In words gathered by the wind.
My voice bounded
Into a cloud-carried tomorrow.
My heart trembled
In the moon-swayed mirror.
Soft tears,
Spilled with a stream of stars.
Isn't it wonderful?
If we could walk, hand in hand,
I'd want to go
To your town, your home, in your arms.
I dream of being
Against your chest,
My body in your keeping
Disappearing into the evening.
Words halted by wind are
A gentle illusion.
A tomorrow torn by clouds is
The voice of a distant place.
My heart that had been
In a moon-blurred mirror that flowed,
Those stars that trembled and spilled
cannot hide my tears.
Isn't it wonderful?
If we could walk, hand in hand,
I'd want to go
To your town, your home, in your arms.
My dream of your face,
That I softly touch,
Melts in the morning.

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This is a very beautiful song to listen to whether you're a fan of FFX or not. I love the violin solo.
