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.
meet
at the disco
get on your feet
baby let's go
come feel the heat
electric glow
dance to the beat
you�re a pro
I can see it in your eyes
no goodbyes, no disguise
from your sighs
and then the temperature will soar
I want more, on the dance floor, paramour
and now we're heading for the door
i�m
walking your way
you�re so sublime
it�s time to play
the perfect crime
what can i say
and one more time
action replay
I can sense it in your smile
I can sense it in your smile
I can sense it in your smile
you've got style, to beguile, you know i'll
i�ll really make it worth the wait
it's our fate, now it�s late, you look great
and now i hope you take the bait
if you want me hold me close
will our our bodies juxtapose
I dont wanna be alone
you can have me for your own
you're a very sexy clone - tonight
highway to the danger zone - tonight
drink a bottle of merlot - tonight
i can take off all your clothes � tonight
if you want me hold me close� tonight
will our our bodies juxtapose� tonight
I dont wanna be alone� tonight
you can have me for your own� tonight
you're a very sexy clone - tonight
highway to the danger zone - tonight
feeling naughty i suppose - tonight
i can take off all your clothes � tonight

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
The clone part is probably a reference to "Science Genius Girl", which is about cloning Sean T. Drinkwater so that he could become 'The Other Sean T. Drinkwater' and be a member of Freezepop. :D I don't know if that necessarily makes the song about Sean, but otherwise, Freezepop songs are pretty straightforward.
