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.
Had a dream.
And you were my dream.
Saw your face.
Real in a dream.
Sugar mouth.
Stings like a bee.
Dreams with me at night.
Come around.
An image of you.
And I want.
The most I can get
Come around
And I'll bet the rent
You're angel walking street
Knowing each little mystery in me
Ok, well nobody knows my truest name
Bet you yours is the same
You make me feel good
Can't get you off the tip of my tongue
You're Honey
In my mouth
Your satisfaction is the drug that I'm on
When my condition is dragging me down
You drown the ugliness out
Ok
In a word
You sold me a gift
And the word
No longer could fit
What you mean
And that word is: free
Free to change and move
And we climb
The ladder to heaven
In my dream, we're climbing to heaven
A sublime satisfaction is waiting
Waiting to be consumed
As soon as you make a move
Ok, nobody knows my truest name
Bet you yours is the same
You make me feel good
I know you have a plan to break away
Yes, I overheard
Yes, I heard what you said
Yes, I heard what you said
Ok
Pack your bags and slip out
And you were my dream.
Saw your face.
Real in a dream.
Sugar mouth.
Stings like a bee.
Dreams with me at night.
Come around.
An image of you.
And I want.
The most I can get
Come around
And I'll bet the rent
You're angel walking street
Knowing each little mystery in me
Ok, well nobody knows my truest name
Bet you yours is the same
You make me feel good
Can't get you off the tip of my tongue
You're Honey
In my mouth
Your satisfaction is the drug that I'm on
When my condition is dragging me down
You drown the ugliness out
Ok
In a word
You sold me a gift
And the word
No longer could fit
What you mean
And that word is: free
Free to change and move
And we climb
The ladder to heaven
In my dream, we're climbing to heaven
A sublime satisfaction is waiting
Waiting to be consumed
As soon as you make a move
Ok, nobody knows my truest name
Bet you yours is the same
You make me feel good
I know you have a plan to break away
Yes, I overheard
Yes, I heard what you said
Yes, I heard what you said
Ok
Pack your bags and slip out

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

“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.
