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.
I'm sitting on the moon
Watching planet blue, hello
Looking all around
Rotating without sound, where are you?
Where are you? I'm sitting on the moon
Where are you? I am missing you
I came from very far
A little unknown star, hello
I don't know what to do
It's so cold and blue, without you
Where are you? I'm sitting on the moon
Where are you? I am missing you
Watching planet blue, hello
Looking all around
Rotating without sound, where are you?
Where are you? I'm sitting on the moon
Where are you? I am missing you
I came from very far
A little unknown star, hello
I don't know what to do
It's so cold and blue, without you
Where are you? I'm sitting on the moon
Where are you? I am missing you

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.

Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This is why Enigma is the best thing that has ever happened to Music. This song is very beautiful and one of Enigma's very best.
Where are you? I am sitting on the moon ..
haunting
This song is very, very touching.
I would say that this song is dealing with your soul being from another planet, and dying or wandering in cosmic space, landing upon the moon, trying to find your own soulmate on Earth.
And at times, it seems that it's speaking to those who feel alienated, as if reassuring that our soul family members up in the stars are waiting for us as well...
Now this is an awesome song. It really captures the emotions of loneliness and otherworldliness.
Beautiful, touching song. This song could mean wanting to reconnect again with your own soul, your being and feel in alignment again within. A lost soul or the soul connection within. The song also has the feel to it that senses there is another soul to connect with or is missing the soulmate it was once connected with.
Of course, this song is not the direct meaning. Someone who has lost himself who might have been very successful person in the past and wants to bring himself back again and little bit sad feeling inside because there is confliction between past and present and future. he is someone who still tries to hear the voice inside to find himself.
