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 all over
Fuck I can’t be sober
This cant be happening to me
This isn’t how it’s supposed to be
Another stupid fight
Another screwed up night
Without you there for me
Can’t get over
My four leaf clover
Cause when I lost it
I lost you too
Searching for another clover
Searching for another you
It’s just impossible to do
Another mistake
My head needs a shake
Dazed and confused
Feeling kind of used
Lost and hopeless
Caught up in a huge mess
Without you there for me
Can’t get over
My four leaf clover
Cause when I lost it
I lost you too
Searching for another clover
Searching for another you
It’s just impossible to do
Goodbye is what you said
Can’t get it out of my head
Which is spinning round
The pain is coming down
But I have no shield
Lost in this large field
Without you there for me
Can’t get over
My four leaf clover
Cause when I lost it
I lost you too
Searching for another clover
Searching for another you
It’s just impossible to do
Lost without you
Confused without you
Alone without you
Its over without you
Its over without my four leaf clover
Cant get over my four leaf clover
Cause its over its over now its over without my clover which is you
Fuck I can’t be sober
This cant be happening to me
This isn’t how it’s supposed to be
Another stupid fight
Another screwed up night
Without you there for me
Can’t get over
My four leaf clover
Cause when I lost it
I lost you too
Searching for another clover
Searching for another you
It’s just impossible to do
Another mistake
My head needs a shake
Dazed and confused
Feeling kind of used
Lost and hopeless
Caught up in a huge mess
Without you there for me
Can’t get over
My four leaf clover
Cause when I lost it
I lost you too
Searching for another clover
Searching for another you
It’s just impossible to do
Goodbye is what you said
Can’t get it out of my head
Which is spinning round
The pain is coming down
But I have no shield
Lost in this large field
Without you there for me
Can’t get over
My four leaf clover
Cause when I lost it
I lost you too
Searching for another clover
Searching for another you
It’s just impossible to do
Lost without you
Confused without you
Alone without you
Its over without you
Its over without my four leaf clover
Cant get over my four leaf clover
Cause its over its over now its over without my clover which is you

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
