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.
He breaks, me down, he builds, me up
He fills, my cup, I like, it rough
We fuss, we brawl, we rise, we fall
He comes, in late, but it's, OK
He do, I do, he knows, the rules
He takes care of home, though he's not alone
I'm on, his knee, he keeps, me clean
And gives, me things, he makes, me scream
He's so contagious
Returns my pages
He's got me anxious
He's what I waited for
He keeps me guessin'
Spontaneous
He's so persuasive
And I'm his lady
Oh! Tonight is waitin' (tonight is waitin')
And I ain't complainin' (and I ain't complainin)
I'm entertainin' (I'm entertainin')
My number one fan (my number one)
My back is achin' (my back is achin')
From our love makin' (from our love makin' oh)
Oh yes I'm taken
Ain't no use in fakin'
My ups, my downs
My high and my lows
From head to toe
He makes me glow
He hits the spot
He makes me hot
I'm all that he's got
And he's all that I've got
He's so contagious
Returns my pages
He's got me anxious
He's what I waited for
He keeps me guessin' (he keeps me guessin')
Spontaneous (spontaneous)
He's so persuasive (so persuasive)
And I'm his lady
Thinkin' of a masterplan
You know anything you need baby ask your man
You was there from a half a grand
Now it's kilos to C-notes and high fashion brands
We ball like we own the world
The only concern is you my only girl
And when we speakin' in tongues
Breathing hard when I'm squeezin' your lungs
Keep it strong, but I gotta hit the streets when I'm done
It's joy and pain, when you tryin' to get ahead of the game
It's fucked up, but you never complain
You just pray I don't get killed when I hit the hood
Just another hundred mill' and I'mma quit for good
No more drug wars trips to jail and shootouts
Gettin' loot out for lawyers and bail'll get you boot out
Just me and you, high off sex and twisted
You OG'd and you OD, addicted
He's so contagious
Returns my pages
He's got me anxious
He's what I waited for
He keeps me guessin'
Spontaneous
He's so persuasive (so persuasive)
And I'm his lady (and I'm his lady)
He's so contagious
Returns my pages
He's got me anxious
He's what I waited for
He keeps me guessin'
Spontaneous
He's so persuasive
And I'm his lady
He fills, my cup, I like, it rough
We fuss, we brawl, we rise, we fall
He comes, in late, but it's, OK
He do, I do, he knows, the rules
He takes care of home, though he's not alone
I'm on, his knee, he keeps, me clean

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Obviously just a love song, but damn I love this song! So ADDICTIVE lol
The original indian track is: Kaliyon Ka Chaman Well there's two versions. That's the updated Indian version, and then there's the ORIGINAL indian version. I'm not familar with that one, but you can look up Kaliyon Ka Chaman on youtube and find it easily :D.
