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.
Peace love ecstacy
unity respect
I'm getting tired and i'm sweaty,
but i still want to touch you if you let me.
Because we hugged a few times
it was special
and we'll be working all night cause its pumping.
And you were special
My hand slipped into your hand,
and it was awesome
and you were special.
Peace love ecstacy unity respect
I'm getting tired and i'm sweaty,
but i still want to touch you if you let me.
Because we hugged a few times
it was special and we'll be working all night cause its pumping.
And you were special
My hand slipped into your hand,
and it was awesome
and you were special.
unity respect
I'm getting tired and i'm sweaty,
but i still want to touch you if you let me.
Because we hugged a few times
it was special
and we'll be working all night cause its pumping.
And you were special
My hand slipped into your hand,
and it was awesome
and you were special.
Peace love ecstacy unity respect
I'm getting tired and i'm sweaty,
but i still want to touch you if you let me.
Because we hugged a few times
it was special and we'll be working all night cause its pumping.
And you were special
My hand slipped into your hand,
and it was awesome
and you were special.

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.

GO MUSCLES why has no body commented sweaty!!!! such a great song
The whole album is awesome. I can't wait to go and see him. Anyway, I think the meaning of this song is pretty obvious. He's out clubing. He's on the dance floor. He sees a girl he's seen before and he's interested in. He starts dancing with her. And things (possibly) begin to get a little intimate.
ah! i love this song. muscles is awesome. lyrics seem pretty straightforward, i agree with andmcg1. saw him at the beach party in newie and it went off! keep up the top work mate!
i honestly thought it was "humped" and not "hugged"
i absolutely cannont get enough muscles right now. and i'd also like to recommend the band clubfeet. i'm so into dance music right now, i love it!
