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.
Here she comes, T-minus 3
Watch your back
Walk around the debris
Light the fuse
and if you're ready come on
She's my riot girl
She's my riot girl
Is it something that she might've just missed
Is it something that she can hit with her fists?
Light the fuse
and if you're ready come on
She's my riot girl
She's no steppingstone
She'll cut you to the bone
You're better off alone
When she's on, she's on!
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She's been bruised and bled
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She says love is dead
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's hanging on by a thread
Take your crimes in stride and commit
There she goes smoking TNT
Down the hatch
Call the LAPD
Either way, she wants to riot come on
She's my riot girl
She's my riot girl
Give her something and she'll try to resist
Give her something she'll just swing with her fists
Either way, she wants to riot come on
She's my riot girl
She's my riot girl
She's no steppingstone
She'll cut you to the bone
You're better off alone
When she's on
She's on!
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She's been bruised and bled
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She says love is dead
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's hanging on by a thread
Take your crimes in stride and commit
She's standing on the front line
Says she wants to light the fuse
Says that this is my life
It should be my right to choose
She's standing on the front line
Says she wants to light the fuse
Says that this is my life
It should be my right to choose
She only wants to burn it down
She wants to see them go , she don't need them
Send it right back into the ground
She says it a violent world, a violent world
leave you with all the bodies around
She's my riot girl
she's such a riot
She's no steppingstone
She'll cut you to the bone
You're better off alone
When she's on, she's on!
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She's been bruised and bled
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She says love is dead
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
But she's seeing red
She's hanging on by a thread
Take your crimes in stride and commit
Watch your back
Walk around the debris
Light the fuse
and if you're ready come on
She's my riot girl
She's my riot girl
Is it something that she might've just missed
Is it something that she can hit with her fists?
Light the fuse
and if you're ready come on
She's my riot girl
She's no steppingstone
She'll cut you to the bone
You're better off alone
When she's on, she's on!
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She's been bruised and bled
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She says love is dead
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's hanging on by a thread
Take your crimes in stride and commit
There she goes smoking TNT

She's my riot girl
Give her something and she'll try to resist
Give her something she'll just swing with her fists
Either way, she wants to riot come on
She's my riot girl
She's my riot girl

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.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
una cancion sobre una chica rebelde, que no cree en el amor ni tampoco necesita a nadie y creo que tiene que ver con las chicas punkers que se llamaban asi no?
