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.
She was a dirty dream cool and clean
With seduction dancing in her eyes
She turned around looked me up and down
She took me by surprise
I tried to run tried to hide
But my feet were made of clay
Looked in her eyes I was paralyzed
I just couldn't get away
She licked her lips they were bloody red
She had the heart of the living dead
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven but instead
She turned her head and she softly said
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off little man
I'll bite your face off you know that I can
She put the whip into cream
She was a sinners queen oh a delicious angel face
She'd invite you in c'mon and lick my skin
You'd sell your soul for another taste
She took my heart my resistance fled
I loved each lie that I was fed
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven but instead
She turned her head and she softly said
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off little man
I'll bite your face off you know that I can
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven but instead
She turned her head and she softly said
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off little man
I'll bite your face off you know that I can
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
With seduction dancing in her eyes
She turned around looked me up and down
She took me by surprise
I tried to run tried to hide
But my feet were made of clay
Looked in her eyes I was paralyzed
I just couldn't get away
She licked her lips they were bloody red
She had the heart of the living dead
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven but instead
She turned her head and she softly said
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off little man
I'll bite your face off you know that I can
She put the whip into cream
She was a sinners queen oh a delicious angel face
She'd invite you in c'mon and lick my skin
You'd sell your soul for another taste
She took my heart my resistance fled
I loved each lie that I was fed
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven but instead
She turned her head and she softly said
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off little man
I'll bite your face off you know that I can
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven but instead
She turned her head and she softly said
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off little man
I'll bite your face off you know that I can
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off

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.
