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.
ooh... ohoho...ohoho
[Chorus]
Its about the things you say to me in the a.m.
Its about the way you hold me in the a.m.
Something bout a sweet ron de vu in the a.m.
God, I like spendin time with you in the a.m.
[Verse 1]
Its about six and the sun is on its way up
I'm half asleep,
waiting for your touch to wake me up
i like the way you call me,
the way you whisper peace,
the things you reveal
God, i know you're real,
nothing like the way you make me feel
[Chorus]
Its about the things you say to me in the a.m.
Its about the way you hold me in the a.m.
Something bout a sweet ron de vu in the a.m.
God, I like spendin time with you in the a.m.
[Verse 2]
I have to admit, this is the way to start the day
Captured in love,
Jesus, your love takes me away
I like the way you call me,
the way you whisper peace
the things you reveal
God, I know you're real
Nothing like the way you make me feel
[Chorus]
Its about the things you say to me in the a.m.
Its about the way you hold me in the a.m.
Something bout a sweet ron de vu in the a.m.
God, I like spendin time with you in the a.m.
[Hook]
What you do to me
I just can't explain
(I just can't explain)
What it means to me
To hear you call my name
(To hear you call my name)
What a perfect way
For me to start the day
Captured in love,
Jesus, your love takes me away
[Chorus]
Its about the things you say to me in the a.m.
Its about the way you hold me in the a.m.
Something bout a sweet ron de vu in the a.m.
God, I like spendin time with you in the a.m.
[Chorus]
Its about the things you say to me in the a.m.
Its about the way you hold me in the a.m.
Something bout a sweet ron de vu in the a.m.
God, I like spendin time with you in the a.m.
[Verse 1]
Its about six and the sun is on its way up

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
