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.
Don't get me started love
I've had too much too drink
Had too much time to think
So leave me alone, oh, oh
Cryin' when you're by yourself
'Cause of what they think
About you ooh ooh
Makes time go slow, slow, slow, yeah
(Makes time go slow, slow, slow)
(Slow)
Something's gotta give soon
Or I'm gonna lose it
Substance abuse it
And never come down, down
Fall off the deep end
And forget my English
What's the point of language,
If you don't say what you feel, ha, ha, huh
So with that being said, huh, oh
To all the bitch ass hoes
That hate me the most
Oh yeah, I hate you too (uh)
To all the punk ass fucks
That just wanna talk shit
I hate you too, uh
To all the high class ass
That's too hard to pass
Oh yeah, I hate you too (eh)
Doses and mimosas
Champagne and cocaine
Help to get me through (uh)
Ten in the mornin'
And I'm skipping breakfast
And drinking a beverage
To ignore it all, huh, oh
'Cause ignorance is bliss and
I've come to embrace it
It's all overrated
Except drugs and alcohol, ho, ho, ooh
Uh, huh, hmm
So with that being said, oh wow
To all the bitch ass hoes
That hate me the most
Oh yeah, I hate you too (uh)
To all the punk ass fucks
That just wanna talk shit
I hate you too, uh
To all the high class ass
That's too hard to pass
Oh yeah, I hate you too (eh)
Doses and mimosas
Champagne and cocaine
Help to get me through (uh)
I've had too much too drink
Had too much time to think
So leave me alone, oh, oh
Cryin' when you're by yourself
'Cause of what they think
About you ooh ooh
Makes time go slow, slow, slow, yeah
(Makes time go slow, slow, slow)
(Slow)
Something's gotta give soon
Or I'm gonna lose it
Substance abuse it
And never come down, down
Fall off the deep end
And forget my English
What's the point of language,
If you don't say what you feel, ha, ha, huh
So with that being said, huh, oh
To all the bitch ass hoes
That hate me the most
Oh yeah, I hate you too (uh)

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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
A song about how drugs and alcohol help this person forget about their problems. Whether that is relationships, people who judge you, or whatever complications you face in every day life. For that moment they feel bliss even though they know they are delaying to face the problems in their life.
Oh how nice it must be to say fuck everything and just give in to your vices. I think this song is such a good representation of how a lot of people feel when they just have had enough. Suppressing their feelings of negativity, until they finally snap and indulge in their addictions, depression, and hatred.
Such a great song, it is definitely on replay.
