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.
Uh, uh, ayy
I really, I really like you baby
Don't be mad at me
Babe
For what I'm about to ask, don't be ashamed
I just love you girl
Babe
As time will surely pass love shows it flame
In my "Fuck You" world
(Yeah, ahh)
(Yeah, ahh)
Relax girl (relax baby)
Sip some of my Slurpee
You don't have to lie to me (nah baby)
It's fly to me (I like it)
And this way (hey)
You can have your privacy (how do you want it)
And at the same time I can see
Look
I just want to tape you
All night
Yeah
Hey baby
I just wanna tape you
All night
Yeah
Babe, please don't let this make you think my love has swayed (hey baby)
No way, okay (still the same)
Baby girl, this is not her idea
It's mine single handedly
It's just my fantasy (ain't just 'bout the tapes)
There's only one and when you're done
It's ours just for fun
And then please give me some
Listen we'll call her gold and you'll be platinum
I just want to see you come (out)
Look
I just wanna tape you
All night
Yeah
Look here sugar
I just wanna tape you
All night
Yeah
I just wanna tape you mama
All night
Yeah
I just wanna tape you
All night
Yeah
Nah baby don't worry about your makeup
I promise I won't be jealous and break up
Not to patronize and sound fake but
If this is a dream I don't want to wake up
Nah baby don't worry about your makeup
I promise I won't be jealous and break up
Not to patronize and sound fake but
If this is a dream I ain't waking up
Turn on the purple light
Begin flashing
By removing your fashion
And start tongue lashing
Now girl kiss her boobs
And you kiss her boobs too
And let your finger dash in
Lights, camera, action
Yeah, tape you
All night
Yeah
Hey sugar

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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.

Little Feat
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”
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
it.z an over-explicit song about a guy wanting his GF to make a 'home video' with another girl.
I actually have to turn this song off, because it is too explicit afterwards.
ha wow that sucks for u.
haha (=.
