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.
Morning whispers to me unaware
I awake to fingers floating softly through my hair
Paradise this feeling being lost inside of you
An adventure in the raw a phantasm for two
[Chorus:]
You say you love me with your eyes
My heart soars up to the skies
And it's all so crazy
What you do to me, baby
You make love like Springtime
And I can't control my passion
You make love like Springtime
Even when love's not in fashion
I love you so and I can't let go of you
Ooh la la la ooh la baby ooh la la oui
Poetry in motion teach my spirit dove
No words need be spoken I know what you're dreaming of
Like this song I wear your love like Heaven on my breast
Rainbow colors all so pure I feel like I've been blessed
[Chorus]
You're making love to me like oooh
You know that you made so happy
I couldn't leave you if I tried
I had a dream and it was you
I made a wish and you made it come true
You're making love to me like Springtime
I thank the Lord above you're mine
You're making love to me like Summer
I'll never need no other lover
You're making love to me like Autumn
Your love will never be forgotten
You're making love to me like Winter
I thank the Lord when we're together
You're making love to me like Springtime
I thank the Lord above you're mine, hey
I awake to fingers floating softly through my hair
Paradise this feeling being lost inside of you
An adventure in the raw a phantasm for two
[Chorus:]
You say you love me with your eyes
My heart soars up to the skies
And it's all so crazy
What you do to me, baby
You make love like Springtime
And I can't control my passion
You make love like Springtime
Even when love's not in fashion
I love you so and I can't let go of you
Ooh la la la ooh la baby ooh la la oui
Poetry in motion teach my spirit dove
No words need be spoken I know what you're dreaming of
Like this song I wear your love like Heaven on my breast
Rainbow colors all so pure I feel like I've been blessed
[Chorus]
You're making love to me like oooh
You know that you made so happy
I couldn't leave you if I tried
I had a dream and it was you
I made a wish and you made it come true
You're making love to me like Springtime
I thank the Lord above you're mine
You're making love to me like Summer
I'll never need no other lover
You're making love to me like Autumn
Your love will never be forgotten
You're making love to me like Winter
I thank the Lord when we're together
You're making love to me like Springtime
I thank the Lord above you're mine, hey

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Full, actually correct lyrics:

WoW...so much effort. Nice! Obviously about love...he loves someone and he's made much love to her in the springtime. Lucky him that he's had a body beside him who wants to spend time with him and have fun with him and share the rough times. Good work on the lyrics.
