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.
How does she know that you love her
How do you show her you love her
How does she know that you really really truly love her
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her or she'll be inclined to say:
How do i know he loves me
How do i know he's mine
Does he leave a little note to tell you are on his mind
Send you yellow flowers when the sky gray yeah yeah
He'll find a new way to show you
A little bit every day
That's how you know, that's how you know
He's your love
Yeah yeah
Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know if true love is true
How do you know he loves you
How do you know he's yours
Does he take you out dancing just so he can hold you close
Dedicate a song with words meant just for you
He'll find his own way to show you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know, that's how you know
He's your love
He's your love (how do you know, how do you know)
How does she know that you love her
How do you show her you love her
How does she know that you really really truly love her
(That's how you know he loves you)
That's how you know he's true
Cause he'll wear your favorite color just so he can match your eyes
Rent a private picnic by the fire glow oh whoa oh
His heart will be yours forever
That's something everyday will show
That's how you know, that's how you know
That's how you know, that's how you know
He's your love
How do you show her you love her
How does she know that you really really truly love her
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her or she'll be inclined to say:
How do i know he loves me
How do i know he's mine
Does he leave a little note to tell you are on his mind
Send you yellow flowers when the sky gray yeah yeah
He'll find a new way to show you
A little bit every day
That's how you know, that's how you know
He's your love
Yeah yeah
Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know if true love is true
How do you know he loves you
How do you know he's yours
Does he take you out dancing just so he can hold you close
Dedicate a song with words meant just for you
He'll find his own way to show you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know, that's how you know
He's your love
He's your love (how do you know, how do you know)
How does she know that you love her
How do you show her you love her
How does she know that you really really truly love her
(That's how you know he loves you)
That's how you know he's true
Cause he'll wear your favorite color just so he can match your eyes
Rent a private picnic by the fire glow oh whoa oh
His heart will be yours forever
That's something everyday will show
That's how you know, that's how you know
That's how you know, that's how you know
He's your love

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.
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.
