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.
Situations are Irrelevant now. She loves the way that I tease,
I love the way that she breathes
I touched ohh she touched, my ahhh it was the craziest thing.
I love the girls who hate to love because they're just like me. A
Certain girl she took my hand and ran it up her thigh. She licked
Her lips and pulled my hair I fall in love for a night
She can't behave and I'm just a slave, don’t worry I'll be gone when
The morning comes.
Darling what is going on?
Honestly that never happened lying is your favorite passion.
Leave me go where you belong,
Hired heels and lipstick napkins dying is your latest fashion.
The frustration it's a regular thing
I hate the ones who love to hate because they're just like me.
A certain girl she took her hand and put in my lap
It's way too full she said once you have me you'll always come back.
She can't behave and I'm just a slave,
don’t worry I'll be gone when the morning comes.
Darling what is going on?
Honestly that never happened lying is your favorite passion
Leave me go where you belong
Hired heels and lipstick napkins dying is your latest fashion.
I know you love to insist and all it takes is a kiss and you just
Love to hate me.
You know you love all the lies so don’t act surprised but I just
Love to hate you.
I kissed your lips you pulled my hair it was the craziest thing. I
Love the girls who love to hate. (Breathing)
(Whoa!) Darling what is going on?
Honestly that never happened
Lying is your favorite passion
Leave me go where you belong hired heels
And lipstick napkins dying is your latest fashion
Darling(leave me) what is going on?
Honestly that never happened
Lying is your favorite passion
Leave me(darling) go where you belong hired heels
And lipstick napkins dying is your latest fashion
I love the way that she breathes
I touched ohh she touched, my ahhh it was the craziest thing.
I love the girls who hate to love because they're just like me. A
Certain girl she took my hand and ran it up her thigh. She licked
Her lips and pulled my hair I fall in love for a night
She can't behave and I'm just a slave, don’t worry I'll be gone when
The morning comes.

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
obviously it's about a one night stand and he falls in love with her in that one night stand and she ditches him and she becomes an addiction and he becomes a "slave" and she lies about it, but he still loves her even though all she does is lie.
