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.
Imigrasyon tenten
Met men man kòlèt mwen
Li di w pa sitizan
Li di m where is mwen di l what
Li di m votre alyenkat
Yo kraze yo touye
Yo mete oun bèf sele
Sa ki fè mwen sove
Jodi ya m sou bwòde
Yo tout te rele bare
Mezanmi mezanmi di mwen
Lò panyòl debake lò endyen pran fè bak
Eske Christophe Colomb te gen alyenkat
Eske Christophe Colomb te gen alyenkat
Mezanmi mezanmi di mwen
Lò fransè debake avan dizuisankat
Eske Sonthonax te gen alyenkat
Eske Sonthonax te gen alyenkat
Mezanmi mezanmi di mwen
Lò yo te sal drapo m ak malpropte kapten Bach
Eske bato alman an te gen alyenkat
Eske bato alman an te gen alyenkat
Mezanmi mezanmi di mwen
Pandan lokipasyon lò moun yo touye Peralte
Eske ameriken te gen alyenkat
Eske ameriken te gen alyenkat
Lakay yo chire po n
Isit yo kraze zo n
Toupatou yo sèl wa
Se pa nou k sou do bèf la
Se bèf la ki sou do nou
Men yon jou w ti kakat
Gen pou l tounen w gwo chat
Pou w lot dizuisankat
Mitrayèt va fè krak
Meriken va fè bak
Lè sa nan simityè pap gen alyenkat
Lè sa nan simityè pap gen alyenkat
Lè sa nan simityè pap gen alyenkat
Met men man kòlèt mwen
Li di w pa sitizan
Li di m where is mwen di l what
Li di m votre alyenkat
Yo kraze yo touye
Yo mete oun bèf sele
Sa ki fè mwen sove
Jodi ya m sou bwòde
Yo tout te rele bare
Mezanmi mezanmi di mwen
Lò panyòl debake lò endyen pran fè bak
Eske Christophe Colomb te gen alyenkat
Eske Christophe Colomb te gen alyenkat
Mezanmi mezanmi di mwen
Lò fransè debake avan dizuisankat
Eske Sonthonax te gen alyenkat
Eske Sonthonax te gen alyenkat
Mezanmi mezanmi di mwen
Lò yo te sal drapo m ak malpropte kapten Bach
Eske bato alman an te gen alyenkat
Eske bato alman an te gen alyenkat
Mezanmi mezanmi di mwen
Pandan lokipasyon lò moun yo touye Peralte
Eske ameriken te gen alyenkat
Eske ameriken te gen alyenkat
Lakay yo chire po n
Isit yo kraze zo n
Toupatou yo sèl wa
Se pa nou k sou do bèf la
Se bèf la ki sou do nou
Men yon jou w ti kakat
Gen pou l tounen w gwo chat
Pou w lot dizuisankat
Mitrayèt va fè krak
Meriken va fè bak
Lè sa nan simityè pap gen alyenkat
Lè sa nan simityè pap gen alyenkat
Lè sa nan simityè pap gen alyenkat

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.
