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.
If I said the wrong thing, would you leave?.
Though my fingers may break,
I just can't let you go.
Don't know why I believed you,
Not with that promise you made me just yesterday.
I will always love you.
Take the me out of you.
A lot of people are gonna be disappointed when they find out
I love you and I need you.
'Til my heart stops beating,
I'll never lose this feeling.
A lot of people gonna be disappointed when they find out.
3:11 again.
Though I'm not your best friend.
Don't you see I will do anything to keep you with me.
Close your eyes, hold on tight.
Spin around, it's alright.
Don't you see my plans will always have you in them?
I will always love you.
Take the me out of you.
A lot people gonna be disappointed when they find out
I love you and I need you.
'Til my heart stops beating,
I'll never lose this feeling.
A lot of people gonna be disappointed when they find out.
When they find out.
I said that a lot of people gonna be disappointed when they find out.
I will always love you.
Take the me out of you.
A lot of people gonna be disappointed.
I will always love you.
Take the me out of you.
A lot of people gonna be disappointed when they find out
I love you and I need you.
I will always love you.
Take the me out of you.
A lot of people gonna be disappointed when they find out
I love you and I need you.
'Til my heart stops beating,
I'll never lose this feeling.
A lot of people gonna be disappointed when they find out.
When they find out.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
A lot of people gonna be disappointed when they find out
I love you and I need you.
'Til my heat stops beating,
I'll never lose this feeling.
A lot of people gonna be disappointed when they find out.
Though my fingers may break,
I just can't let you go.
Don't know why I believed you,
Not with that promise you made me just yesterday.
I will always love you.
Take the me out of you.
A lot of people are gonna be disappointed when they find out
I love you and I need you.
'Til my heart stops beating,
I'll never lose this feeling.
A lot of people gonna be disappointed when they find 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.

Try and listen to the text abit more, don't jump into the conclusion it's about a girl right away, if you ask me, I think it's strictly about Mary-Jane or and Alcohol. Might not be, but with this in mind read the text again. It does fit dosen't it?
