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.
Come on let-let-let-let-let-let-let go
From that sea-saw
This is fucking your brain
It's gonna hold me out again
Come on let-let-let-let-let-let-let go
By all the key-hole
You can press yourself against it
You keep waiting for me cage
Hear me say
Come on let-let-let-let-let-let-let go
It's not a question for your head
Come and join me in this seat,
Cause there's a ruby in your eye
Or you're after me the same
Cause you're all the sweetest thing inside of you
Our home is bigger than a mountain view
Your file's so thin you believe that you should do
Sometimes it won't come so easy
But sometimes you gotta go get mad, mad
Come on let-let-let-let-let-let-let go
Shift the ease on
Listen to me now and stay in the red zone of pain
And I'll look out and say
Come on let-let-let-let-let-let-let go
Had a question for...
I may shout out with my head and mend back your heart
But remember me and say
Cause you're all the sweetest thing inside of you
Our home is bigger than a mountain view
Your file's so thin you believe that you should do
Sometimes it won't come so easy
But sometimes you gotta go get mad, mad
All the good things
Are out in the sun
Good things like friends come a long way
They'll be so bad, keep no sea calm storm
Nothing, and then we watch them shim
Feels like the sound going down
But I see no clouds
Well have you seen those clowns
Today's so supernatural
Come on let-let-let-let-let-let-let go
From that sea-saw
This is holding your brain
It's gonna pull me out again
And I'll love you the same
Come on let-let-let-let-let-let-let go
Another question for the game
I made a shadow with my head
And...
But they would never be the same
Same
From that sea-saw
This is fucking your brain
It's gonna hold me out again
Come on let-let-let-let-let-let-let go
By all the key-hole
You can press yourself against it
You keep waiting for me cage
Hear me say
Come on let-let-let-let-let-let-let go
It's not a question for your head
Come and join me in this seat,
Cause there's a ruby in your eye
Or you're after me the same
Cause you're all the sweetest thing inside of you
Our home is bigger than a mountain view
Your file's so thin you believe that you should do
Sometimes it won't come so easy
But sometimes you gotta go get mad, mad
Come on let-let-let-let-let-let-let go
Shift the ease on
Listen to me now and stay in the red zone of pain
And I'll look out and say
Come on let-let-let-let-let-let-let go
Had a question for...
I may shout out with my head and mend back your heart
But remember me and say
Cause you're all the sweetest thing inside of you
Our home is bigger than a mountain view
Your file's so thin you believe that you should do
Sometimes it won't come so easy
But sometimes you gotta go get mad, mad
All the good things
Are out in the sun
Good things like friends come a long way
They'll be so bad, keep no sea calm storm
Nothing, and then we watch them shim
Feels like the sound going down

Well have you seen those clowns
Today's so supernatural
Come on let-let-let-let-let-let-let go

And I'll love you the same
Come on let-let-let-let-let-let-let go
Another question for the game

And...
But they would never be the same
Same

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

"Bionic hee-haw"...a very interesting mental image. Hee-haw was a tv show back in the day, kind of a redneck-comedy country music variety show
