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 was a dark, stormy night
When five children of the Lotus crept into a local cemetary
Their intentions were nothing more than to
Smoke marijuana leafs, and drink alcholic beverages
But these five young boys were soon joined
By some very unlikely company
In fact, for the children of the Lotus
This was some company they could only dream of
I'm talkin' about the dead
Not just any dead, I'm talkin' about
They were joined by five ravishing, beautiful, lovely dead women
Who opened up to these boys and gave them their all
Do you like the quija? We danced
Blood and flesh, romance
Right there, right in front of the tomb
Beatiful, horrific and the moon
Dead flesh, crazy hormones
Me with a hard dick, her with her neck broke
We did a tango, she breathed
She wiped blood on a killas sleeve (Whoa!)
Now I ain't ever been the one to pass
She might be dead, but she got a nice ass
Ridin' to the bone, I like dead meat
Wearin' nothing but her panties, shakin' to the beat
So you like to dance? Is that magic?
Is that your ass or back I'm grabbin'?
You're gettin' kinda freaky bitin' on my neck
My heart is beatin' fast, my underwear's wet, and we danced
I can't believe we danced
And I don't even dance
I can't believe we danced
And I don't even dance
Sittin' with my dawgs by the mausoleum
I can't believe my eyes, but I know I see 'em
She walked up to me, can I have this dance?
And put her hand right into my pants
She had a slit in her throat, but I wasn't even trippin' a bit
But I was kinda buggin' on the bitch missing her lip
She had a long tongue, stuck it straight down my throat
And when I went to grab her titty it just turned to smoke
And the bitch mouth just started bleedin' again
I had to yelp a couple teeth so my dick will fit in
I love the blood and guts, and all the sex with the dead
I love the sluts with the snake comin' outta they head
Damn, wasn't something special in that?
When I swallowed it down it kinda pushed my wig back
Fat wait, whut? Let me rub my eyes
What I'm seeing now is startin' to make my pants rise
Hello beauty queen can I have this dance?
And when the song is over can I see some romance?
So what you can see your skull through your hair
I only got one concern, pullin' down your underwear
As I lick the skin across her hip
I feel my tongue slip into her rib
A neden or a leg it don't matter to me
Cause dancing through the cemetary gots me in ecstacy, and we danced!
I can't believe we danced
And I don't even dance
I can't believe we danced
And I don't even dance
My first thought when I seen rise up out the ground
My one and only dead bitch had been found
She was the high school prom queen, Miss Teen and shit
Pressure was too tight, she cut her wrists
Her clothes a little tattered, and it ain't matter though
All I wanna do is put my dick on her jaw bone
Spit about being frozen, decomposin'
Sweet talkin' freak till I get them legs open
Can't wait to get up in her decayed womb
She been untouched for five years in a tomb
She risin' up for a killer, to be my only one
Magic dead funk smells everytime she cums
I was lonely, I had no one
Might as well do masturbation
I'll jack off while Shaggy smooches
I'm watching him from the bushes
Had my pants down on my nug rest
I felt something poking my ass
It's another ghouly girly
Look at me I'm naked early
She came under me and mangled
She had no feet, skin just dangled
We went behind a tombstone
And I said your boobies, may I hold them?
She lifted her crusty sweater
They were blue and stuck together
Gently I peeled them apart
And her skin ripped open, you could see her heart, and we danced
I can't believe we danced
And I don't even dance
I can't believe we danced
And I don't even dance
I can't believe we danced
And I don't even dance
I can't believe we danced
And I don't even dance

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Juggalos. I love each and every one of you... but come on... Why is it that you only mention ICP? Even in the Lotus section? It's not just J and Shaggz... It's each and every person under Psychopatic. The Hatchet Family... Psychopathic loves Juggalos above all else. And Juggalos love Juggalos above all else. That's just the way it goes.
