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.
Tal vez no sucedió
Tal vez esto sea una ilusión
Tal vez sea una obra dramatúrgica
Con actores y tú eres la principal
Y ese de abajo es tu secundario
Inició la función
¿Qué pasará al final de este drama sexual?
¿Valdrá la pena esperar el final?
Me agrada sentir dolor
Ven a contármelo
Que quiero escucharlo, quiero escucharlo
Pones tu cara de querer decir lo siento
Él te dejó sin aliento, quiero escucharlo
Tienes talento para dar placer
Pero solo a terceros
¿Cómo se sintió al tocar a alguien que no era yo?
Al rozar las sábanas con alguien más
Yo sé que pensaste en mí
Espero que lo hayas gozado
Y aunque nunca te alejaste de mí
Siempre existió temor que cometas fraude a mi amor
Y ahora comprendo que mi corazón
Merece una explicación
Ven a explicárselo
Que quiere escucharlo, quiere escucharlo
Pones tu cara de querer decir lo siento
Él te dejó sin aliento, quiero escucharlo
Tienes talento para dar placer
Pero solo a terceros
No me arrepiento de siempre dudar
Cuestionar tu fidelidad
Y hasta tu forma de mirar
Y la amargura futura soy yo
Siempre presente yo
Pues no quiero perdérmelo
Y quiero escucharlo, quiero escucharlo
Pones tu cara de querer decir lo siento
Que ya caes en lo burlesco, quiero escucharlo
Tienes talento para dar placer
Pero solo a terceros
Tal vez esto sea una ilusión
Tal vez sea una obra dramatúrgica
Con actores y tú eres la principal
Y ese de abajo es tu secundario
Inició la función
¿Qué pasará al final de este drama sexual?
¿Valdrá la pena esperar el final?
Me agrada sentir dolor
Ven a contármelo
Que quiero escucharlo, quiero escucharlo
Pones tu cara de querer decir lo siento
Él te dejó sin aliento, quiero escucharlo
Tienes talento para dar placer
Pero solo a terceros
¿Cómo se sintió al tocar a alguien que no era yo?
Al rozar las sábanas con alguien más
Yo sé que pensaste en mí
Espero que lo hayas gozado
Y aunque nunca te alejaste de mí
Siempre existió temor que cometas fraude a mi amor
Y ahora comprendo que mi corazón
Merece una explicación
Ven a explicárselo
Que quiere escucharlo, quiere escucharlo
Pones tu cara de querer decir lo siento
Él te dejó sin aliento, quiero escucharlo
Tienes talento para dar placer
Pero solo a terceros
No me arrepiento de siempre dudar
Cuestionar tu fidelidad
Y hasta tu forma de mirar
Y la amargura futura soy yo
Siempre presente yo
Pues no quiero perdérmelo
Y quiero escucharlo, quiero escucharlo
Pones tu cara de querer decir lo siento
Que ya caes en lo burlesco, quiero escucharlo
Tienes talento para dar placer
Pero solo a terceros

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

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
