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 sun it fell down
On the rising sea
To where the bishop outgrew his pew
(?) was a man
Got his hands all over me
Lets hope he don’t put em on you
My vision welled
Then overflowed
To spill on down to the green grass
The chapel bell rose back then tolled
Go on a tollin’
Till the tollin’ passed
(?) unlocks the door
She’s sixty-four
She steps down into the street
Oh, the city sounds
Like a one-man band
And the bricks turn blue beneath her feet
The queen she laid down
With the fiddler’s son
But it was the words she used to seek
She said to him
“Let’s go down
To where the grass is tall and brown
You can lay that rhythm down
Right on me
Right on me
Right on me”
Yeah uh huh
Wipe your eyes child
With your head down low
Yes I believe in time to grow son
Look around
There’s a big old world
A stone’s throw from lonesome
Lonesome
Lonesome
On the rising sea
To where the bishop outgrew his pew
(?) was a man
Got his hands all over me
Lets hope he don’t put em on you
My vision welled
Then overflowed
To spill on down to the green grass
The chapel bell rose back then tolled
Go on a tollin’
Till the tollin’ passed
(?) unlocks the door
She’s sixty-four
She steps down into the street
Oh, the city sounds
Like a one-man band
And the bricks turn blue beneath her feet
The queen she laid down
With the fiddler’s son
But it was the words she used to seek
She said to him
“Let’s go down
To where the grass is tall and brown
You can lay that rhythm down
Right on me
Right on me
Right on me”
Yeah uh huh
Wipe your eyes child
With your head down low
Yes I believe in time to grow son
Look around
There’s a big old world
A stone’s throw from lonesome
Lonesome
Lonesome

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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
These are horrible, so bad that I am rewriting this whole thing...
The sun it fell down, On the rising sea Where (maybe 'when'?) the bishop outgrew his pew... Big money mans Got his hands all over me Lets hope he dont put em on you
My fishing wells, They overflowed, spilled on down to the green grass The chapel bell rose back then tolled Go on a-tollin' Till the tollin' passed...
Maggie Stuffs(?) unlocks the door Shes sixty-four She steps down into the street Oh, the city sounds Like a one-man band And the bricks turn blue beneath her feet
The queen she laid down, With the fiddlers son, But it was the words she used to see... She said to him, Lets go down, To where the grass is tall and brown... You can lay that rhythm down, Right on me Right on me Right on me Yeah nah nah
Wipe your eyes child, With your head down low, Yes I believe in time you'll grow some... Look around, Theres a big old world, A stones throw from lonesome... Lonesome Lonesome
Upon further reflection, I believe it is <br /> <br /> Maggie stops, n' locks the door,<br /> Shes sixty four,<br /> She steps down into the street...<br /> <br /> <br />
