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 dreamt you seduced me just to walk away
I dreamt you inspired then rewired what I say
I dreamt you spread your bottom wings and pulled me to the bed
But the I woke up feel nauseous
You danced around my head
Tell me
How long, how long have I been down
How long, how long have I been down
How long, how long have I been down
Down
Down
I dreamt you burned my fingers
Yes an automatic sting
I dreamt you called me beautiful then asked to hear me sing
I dreamt your scent invited me to crawl within your space
But then I woke up feeling nauseous
Girl, you danced around my face
Tell me
How long, how long have I been down
How long, how long have I been down
How long, how long have I been down
Down
Down
Why can't we work, when we both try
We try, we try, we try, we try
Why can't this work, when we've both tried
Why can't it work, when we both try
We try, we try, we try
God how we've tried
And how we tried
I mean to sympathize
I mean to be a friend
I know apologizing won't erase the end
But I've learned that moving on is where I must begin
Cause when our colors mixed
We couldn't fix the way the wouldn't blend
So tell me
How long, how long have I been down
How long, how long have I been down
How long, how long have I been down
Down
Down
And I wish that only greatness follow you around
I hope to god you find a way to keep from down
And when you do I hope you share it all with me
Please try to understand
Yeah to understand, me
Just try to understand me
Yeah understand me
How long, how long have we been down
Down
Down
I dreamt you inspired then rewired what I say
I dreamt you spread your bottom wings and pulled me to the bed
But the I woke up feel nauseous
You danced around my head
Tell me
How long, how long have I been down
How long, how long have I been down
How long, how long have I been down
Down
Down
I dreamt you burned my fingers
Yes an automatic sting
I dreamt you called me beautiful then asked to hear me sing
I dreamt your scent invited me to crawl within your space
But then I woke up feeling nauseous
Girl, you danced around my face
Tell me
How long, how long have I been down
How long, how long have I been down
How long, how long have I been down

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.
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.
