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.
Wait a minute, wait a minute there he is. His ass is a dead motherfucker
When I get my hands on him!
Dogg, your gonna get fuckin' busted! she'll break out with DNA on that ass.
She'll fuckin' use forensic science, whatever it takes, you ain't getting
Away with it. Your gonna get fuckin' busted, I'm fuckin' tell ya!
DROPPIN' BOMBS ON THAT ASS!
Only sixteen, a hottie across the street
Washin' her daddies car she was toying with me
She came inside, and promised, wouldn't take long
She's about to swallow, when my lady came home and caught me!
Down on my knees! Get ready, here she comes!
I'm begging you please! Get ready, HIROSHIMA!
Down on my knees! Get ready, here she comes!
I'm begging you please! Get ready, HIROSHIMA!
[Shaggy 2 Dope]
She was bitchin' mad out of control, like Hiroshima!
I thought the bitch was gonna' explode, like Hiroshima!
I never smoke, my woman hates it, it's wrong
But this ganja Mike Peezy had, it just smelled so strong
Roll it up, fuck it! I puffed it and passed
Not knowing my woman was standing right behind my ass
Down on my knees! Get ready, here she comes!
I'm begging you please! Get ready, HIROSHIMA!
Down on my knees! Get ready, here she comes!
I'm begging you please! Get ready, HIROSHIMA!
[Shaggy 2 Dope]
The bitch was stompin' shakin' the floor, like Hiroshima!
I swear to God I couldn't take it no more, like Hiroshima!
I love this woman, just as much as one can
Something's I do, she will never understand
I love Dark Lotus, and she loves the Cure
I love my wrestling, and she says absurd
She disses my style, she disses my rap
She makes my dick hard when she sits on my lap
If she dissed my homies I guarantee you some drama
I'll pack that bitches shit up, and send her back to her momma
Like Hiroshima
Down on my knees! Get ready, here she comes!
I'm begging you please! Get ready, HIROSHIMA!
Down on my knees! Get ready, here she comes!
I'm begging you please! Get ready, HIROSHIMA!
Down on my knees! Get ready, here she comes!
I'm begging you please! Get ready, HIROSHIMA!
Down on my knees! Get ready, here she comes!
I'm begging you please! Get ready, HIROSHIMA!
When I get my hands on him!
Dogg, your gonna get fuckin' busted! she'll break out with DNA on that ass.
She'll fuckin' use forensic science, whatever it takes, you ain't getting

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
