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.
Gold presidential for the gold digging bitches
Bouncing on the bands she like I'm fuckin' hitting switches
Gold presidential for the gold digging bitches
Bouncing on the bands she like I'm fuckin' hitting switches
Gold presidential for the gold digging bitches
Bouncing on the bands she like I'm fuckin' hitting switches
I pull up like what the business
Fuck you niggas feelings
Puffing dro and paper stacking money to the ceiling
I been balling for a year or two
I don't think I'm going back
Walk up in the club
And make them bitches have a ho attack
Or should I say a heart attack I go into cardiac
I'm gon' let her rob but she ain't fucking then she walking back
You niggas be talking that
Same shit I'm living though
Faded like I'm Michael Jordan
But I'm Scottie Pippen though
Different state
Different place
End up with a different ho
Niggas hating in the hood
I ain't even tripping though
I be walking through my city like a fucking king
I'm in these streets
Just ask around I do my fucking thing
Yeah I been eating since they let me out the fucking bin
Nobody told me this the shit that all this money bring
You know the team, it's MMG
Rookie of the year, I'm MVP
I'm gettin' paper, it's M.O.B
She asked me who I think I am, I told her bitch I'm me
I tell her bitch I'm me, bitch I'm me
I tell her bitch I'm me, bitch I'm me
My niggas is balling, you niggas is hating
Cameras everywhere I go, a movie in the making
I tell her bitch I'm me
I get that work out my face
I put that shit on my man
I give it straight to Omelly he selling 30 a gram
I put them b's on your team
And they gon' murder your man
Black and white maro looking like the Hamburglar
Damn I got bars
Outer space I'm on mars
I forever do my thing
Pull strings, guitar
Before I had a deal I was a fuckin' hood star
And I ain't chewing 'cause my goon is riding like a good car
I'm the topic of discussion
Waka bitch I'm bustin'
Rollie face blue
Like I'm Cripping on 'em cousin
Nigga you ain't got it you just looking like you stunting
I was there, you called my man and you was looking for an onion, lame
We on the same road but it's a different lane
And all you niggas telling like it's a different game
In the district, pointing pictures, giving names
They shoot at us, we kill em all and we get the blame
You know the team, it's MMG
Rookie of the year, I'm MVP
I'm gettin' paper, it's M.O.B
She asked me who I think I am, I told her bitch I'm me
I tell her bitch I'm me, bitch I'm me
I tell her bitch I'm me, bitch I'm me
My niggas is balling, you niggas is hating
Cameras everywhere I go, a movie in the making
I tell her bitch I'm me

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
