He certainly did earn that reputation.
[V1]
Wanna be's and Gonna be's
Is this the day that you're gonna seize
Or maybe just sit around waiting for that call
Time is cheap but it ain't free
Let another day just fall through me
Winding up staying up staring at the wall
[B]
Feel the motion cos you head is spinning like a top
Taste the ocean cos the flavour's there in every drop
[C]
You told me that all of your angels and demons
Are constantly kicking and fighting and screaming
There’s no light and there's no sound
Bet you wanna drag the sunrise down
You tell me it feels like your running in circles
And all the time they keep raising the hurdles
Out of sight and under ground
You're dreaming you're gonna drag the sunrise down
[V2]
You know the light can hypnotise
So shut it out and close your eyes
You're paranoid, can't avoid, living in denial
You curse the sun it fills the sky
Spiralling down as it passes by
Dreaming and scheming and sinking in the night
[B]
Feel the motion cos you head is spinning like a top
Taste the ocean cos the flavour's there in every drop
[C]
You told me that all of your angels and demons
Are constantly kicking and fighting and screaming
There’s no light and there's no sound
Bet you wanna drag the sunrise down
You tell me it feels like your running in circles
And all the time they keep raising the hurdles
Out of sight and under ground
You're dreaming you're gonna drag the sunrise down
[M8]
Time is on your side
You hide behind the tainted smile
But it' s there deep in your eyes
Drop the blade and look inside
Only you can find the light
[C]
You told me that all of your angels and demons
Are constantly kicking and fighting and screaming
There’s no light and there's no sound
Bet you wanna drag the sunrise down
You tell me it feels like your running in circles
And all the time they keep raising the hurdles
Out of sight and under ground
You're dreaming you're gonna drag the sunrise
You told me that all of your angels and demons
Are constantly kicking and fighting and screaming
There’s no light and there's no sound
Bet you wanna drag the sunrise down
You tell me it feels like your running in circles
And all the time they keep raising the hurdles
Out of sight and under ground
You're dreaming you're gonna drag the sunrise

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.

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.
great song :)
