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.
I said I want to meet you
I said I want to fuck you all the time
I said I want to fuck you
I said I want to meet you all the time
I said I want to meet you
I said I want to fuck you all the time
I said I want to meet you
I said I want to meet you
Yes, she is my skinhead girl
Yes, she is my skinhead
Yes, she is my skinhead girl
Yes, she is whiter than a pearl
Fuck-fucking on sandy beaches
Kissy-kissing all over your faces
Smack-smacking on my own round races
Suck-sucking where there are no traces
Yes, she is my skinhead girl (etc.)
Gee this girl, this girl is swell
You're saying you're better than you look
That would be impossible
For you to look better than the face of God
On a sunny day
Sometimes I feel like I'm on a mission
I'm on a mission to kill myself
Yes, she is my skinhead girl (etc.)
I'm gonna take her for a whirl
Yes, she is my skinhead girl
Yes, she is whiter than a pearl
I said I want to fuck you all the time
I said I want to fuck you
I said I want to meet you all the time
I said I want to meet you
I said I want to fuck you all the time
I said I want to meet you
I said I want to meet you
Yes, she is my skinhead girl
Yes, she is my skinhead
Yes, she is my skinhead girl
Yes, she is whiter than a pearl
Fuck-fucking on sandy beaches
Kissy-kissing all over your faces
Smack-smacking on my own round races
Suck-sucking where there are no traces
Yes, she is my skinhead girl (etc.)
Gee this girl, this girl is swell
You're saying you're better than you look
That would be impossible
For you to look better than the face of God
On a sunny day
Sometimes I feel like I'm on a mission
I'm on a mission to kill myself
Yes, she is my skinhead girl (etc.)
I'm gonna take her for a whirl
Yes, she is my skinhead girl
Yes, she is whiter than a pearl

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
@[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.

Yeah, pretty sure the recording of this song floating around at there that's been attributed to Nirvana is actually Unrest. But for those who care, the correct lyrics are a lot closer to this:
I said I want to meet you I said I want to fuck you all the time I said I want to fuck you I said I want to meet you all the time I said I want to meet you I said I want to fuck you all the time I said I want to meet you I said I want to meet you
Yes, she is my skinhead girl Yes, she is my skinhead Yes, she is my skinhead girl Yes, she is whiter than a pearl
Fuck-fucking on sandy beaches Kissy-kissing all over your faces Smack-smacking on my own round races Suck-sucking where there are no traces
Yes, she is my skinhead girl (etc.) Gee this girl, this girl is swell
You're saying you're better than you look That would be impossible For you to look better than the face of God On a sunny day
Sometimes I feel like I'm on a mission I'm on a mission to kill myself
Yes, she is my skinhead girl (etc.) I'm gonna take her for a whirl Yes, she is my skinhead girl Yes, she is whiter than a pearl
*The section about "looking better than the face of God on a sunny day" is actually lifted from a James song.
