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.
Ooooooooh yeah, oooooooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Its been 6 months since I held ya babe
And I've been in hell
Just trying to find a substitute
When I know too well
That you're the only woman in the world who lets me be
Loves me for who I am and not what you hoped I'd be
I know these words may sound funny coming
From somebody who brought so much pain
To your heart but baby believe me
Without you I'm not the same
They say leopards don't lose their spots and
Bees never lose their sting
But if people can't change
Then whats the point of you and me
I'm askin
(Chorus) Can we fall in love again
Everyday I been thinking bout ya
Don't wanna be in this life without ya let me know
Can we fall in love again
I would give to you all my soul
To be in your life lady
So many days and nights that you sacrificed
In the name of love
So silly of me to think that I
Could ever replace you woman
I'm standing here, waiting for my happiness
I'm waiting for security
I'm waiting for you
I know these words may sound funny coming
From somebody who broughT so much pain
To your heart but baby believe me
Without you I'm not the same
They say leopards don't lose their spots and
Bees never lose their sting
But if people can't change
Whats the point of you and me
Heeeeeeeey
(Chorus) Can we fall in love again
Everyday I been thinking bout ya
Dont wanna be in this life without you baby
Can we fall in love again
I would give to you all of my soul
To be in your life yeah

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.
