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.
The god of dreams
Sent me a sign
And I felt homesick
And from his point of view
There was no rescue
No single word
No single cry
Was sounding
Sending
Any lie
And then she kissed her
Her only love
Then she kissed her
And then she missed her
Her only love
And then she kissed her
Her only love
Then she kissed her
And then she missed her
Her only love
Her loneliness
Her fury
Were as yet as deeply due
Her influence on me
Was like...
Hilarious
My father, my brother
Were teaching me
Of tragedy
And then she kissed her
Her only love
Then she kissed her
And then she missed her
Her only love
Get in touch with me
Get in touch with me
No single word
No single cry
And far too soon
And far too late
And then she kissed her
Her only love
Then she kissed her
And then she missed her
Her only love
And then she kissed her
Her only love
Then she kissed her
And then she missed her
Her only love
And we felt homesick
And we felt homesick
Then she missed her ...
Sent me a sign
And I felt homesick
And from his point of view
There was no rescue
No single word
No single cry
Was sounding
Sending
Any lie
And then she kissed her
Her only love
Then she kissed her
And then she missed her
Her only love
And then she kissed her
Her only love
Then she kissed her
And then she missed her
Her only love
Her loneliness
Her fury
Were as yet as deeply due
Her influence on me
Was like...
Hilarious
My father, my brother
Were teaching me
Of tragedy
And then she kissed her
Her only love
Then she kissed her
And then she missed her
Her only love
Get in touch with me
Get in touch with me
No single word
No single cry
And far too soon
And far too late
And then she kissed her
Her only love
Then she kissed her
And then she missed her
Her only love
And then she kissed her
Her only love
Then she kissed her
And then she missed her
Her only love
And we felt homesick
And we felt homesick
Then she missed her ...

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
