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.
It's 3 to 10 the pigs are here
Give me 10 seconds to slam my beers
No wounded soldiers kill them all
The pigs found me in a bathroom stall
They called me an addict, fucking alcoholic
Now I got bread and water, slamming
In a room with padded walls
I was very much alive when I stepped off of the southwest
Thinking about the brew that is cool, cause we keep it in fridge, yes
It's about six the fix, the fix running
I drop the beat kid you keep it bumping
Suzie's friends dropping hints, what am I supposed to do
All the rooms are taken and the bitch's got a curfew
Barely 18 and bro she's a freak
I think she needs a piece of this 420 Geek
All the rooms are taken, well there's always the backseat
Keep that caddy rocking, well there's always the backseat
Let's take this from the top cause on top's where I like to be
Let me introduce you to my headboard girly
On the queen size we're doing our thing
Crack! There goes the boxspring
Mama's knocking on the door "Who do you got in there?"
"It's that god damn lucky boy!" Mama just wants to share
I'd have given it to her mom, but daddy-o he had a shotgun
Oh shit, your mama's knocking, well there's always the backseat
Officer R. Cappelan treating me like a felon
Don't make me get crazy on you like Curtis Mellin
Unlawful consumption of alcohol by a minor
I bet put down more than you… old timer
They know all about me ain't that a shame
What's my claim to fame, my name, my name
To the undercover cop the lowest form of life
They got a warrant, reason to fear
They got a warrant, drop your beer
Give me 10 seconds to slam my beers
No wounded soldiers kill them all
The pigs found me in a bathroom stall
They called me an addict, fucking alcoholic
Now I got bread and water, slamming
In a room with padded walls
I was very much alive when I stepped off of the southwest
Thinking about the brew that is cool, cause we keep it in fridge, yes
It's about six the fix, the fix running
I drop the beat kid you keep it bumping
Suzie's friends dropping hints, what am I supposed to do
All the rooms are taken and the bitch's got a curfew
Barely 18 and bro she's a freak
I think she needs a piece of this 420 Geek
All the rooms are taken, well there's always the backseat
Keep that caddy rocking, well there's always the backseat
Let's take this from the top cause on top's where I like to be

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

“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.
