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 feel there's something that's hidden inside
Creeps up my spine and takes over my mind
I can't control it, no
I think I'm losing control
You just don't get it do you
I'm not stuck here with you
You're stuck in here with me
YOU'RE STUCK IN HERE WITH ME
You just don't get it do you
I'm not stuck here with you
You're stuck in here with me
YOU'RE STUCK IN HERE WITH ME
One more word and we'll cut out your eyes
One more time left to say your goodbyes
SO SAY EM
We can't we cannot stop the growth
We can't we cannot stop the growth
The candlelight melts all my shadows away
Thanks for the hate cause its fueling my flames
You can't control us, no
I think you're losing control
You just don't get it do you
I'm not stuck here with you
You're stuck in here with me
YOU'RE STUCK IN HERE WITH ME
You just don't get it do you
I'm not stuck here with you
You're stuck in here with me
YOU'RE STUCK IN HERE WITH ME
One more word and we'll cut out your eyes
One more time left to say your goodbyes
SO SAY EM
we can't we cannot stop the growth
WE CAN'T we cannot stop the growth
One more word and we'll cut out your eyes
One more time LEFT TO SAY YOUR GOODBYES
SO SAY EM
We can't we cannot stop the growth
YOU JUST DON'T GET IT DO YOU
I'M NOT STUCK HERE WITH YOU
YOU'RE STUCK IN HERE WITH ME
YOU JUST DON'T GET IT DO YOU
I'M NOT STUCK HERE WITH YOU
YOU'RE STUCK IN HERE WITH ME
WITH ME
One more word AND WE'LL CUT OUT YOUR EYES
One more time LEFT TO SAY YOUR GOODBYES
SO SAY EM
We can't we cannot stop the growth
We can't we cannot stop Bad Blood
WOAH
Creeps up my spine and takes over my mind

You're stuck in here with me
YOU'RE STUCK IN HERE WITH ME
You just don't get it do you
I'm not stuck here with you
You're stuck in here with me
YOU'RE STUCK IN HERE WITH ME
One more word and we'll cut out your eyes
One more time left to say your goodbyes

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
i think this song is about how craig is sick of everyone hating on him and by writing this song hes saying that the fans are stuck with him and hes not goin anywhere
"YOU JUST DON'T GET IT DO YOU I'M NOT STUCK HERE WITH YOU YOU'RE STUCK IN HERE WITH ME YOU JUST DON'T GET IT DO YOU I'M NOT STUCK HERE WITH YOU YOU'RE STUCK IN HERE WITH ME WITH ME"
Cant stop people talking, cant stop people hating. But you can make it known that you dont give a fuck. =] Great song.
"You just don't get it do you/I'm not stuck here with you/You're stuck in here with me"
is really, really close [if not verbatim] to what Rorschach said in WATCHMEN when he was in prison. So if this song isn't about WATCHMEN altogether, it could be about Rorschach.
its not verbatim to rorschach but it is dam close. i think maybe craig watched the watchmen and related to rorschach. they both jus keep doing their thing n alot of peaople hate them. but neither one can stop
The line "We can't we cannot stop the growth" kind of makes me think about some disease that's growing inside.
I do think it is a song about us now being stuck with him and how alot of people just dont seem to get that fact, i've excepted it-i don't like it but i have excepted it. W he says we just cannot stop the growth" I think that is either the overwhelming growth in fans or haters one of the two...or maybe both Either way he is speaking his mind
I read in an interview somewhere that Craig was inspired by Watchmen, so yes, that's where the line "You just don't get it do you, I'm not stuck here with you, you're stuck in here with me" comes from.
"We cannot stop the growth" kinda means to me that's he's growing with the band or maybe he's making the band grow bigger and better? Just a thought. :)
badass mother fucking song makes me want to bite a kittens head off.
