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.
A-yo Cam yo yo I know you knocked Charli off
No I did not man, yo stop lying
Word to my mother, I did not hit that man
A-yo I'm your dog duke you can tell me
Nigga I would tell you if I did her
Yo I know you hit that, yo how the head, how the head kid?
Yo I did not touch her, that's like my sister
Yo, stop frontin' that's like my sister, word to mother
Yo you lying whatever man whatever
Yeah, aight a-yo Charli, what's up with you and Cam
Nothin' that's my dog saying this together
Come on now I know how that nigga roll and he look good
Come on that's like my brother, he probably got a lil' dick
Let me find out, a-yo see we're just alike, call it ironic
But why they don't listen when I say we're platonic
Well you know how niggas talk just for wreck
If my dick was hard and your clit was wet
A-yo a-yo Cam watch your mouth, don't disrespect
I remember when your ass got hit with the Tech
Well I remember that girl tried to slit your neck
And you remember that stank bitch hittin' the deck
Yeah that's when your pretty ass ate coochie free though
And I took you off canal right down to Tito's
But when the cops pulled us over I had to keep the heat low
But I gave you the money to pay off the repo
A-yo you real funny, yo you know how we go
Yeah, motherfucking peoples, uh, without the egos
And I'll do anything for you, even give my last breath
I wish you the best, man I love you to death
I don't care what they think about us
I don't care what they say
I don't care if they think that we're fucking
I only love you this way
Don't care about the way girls thinking you twistin' my back
Bought the chrome almost so you can christen the AC
In '91 when you was young and I was dumb and
Robbing niggas splittin' the figgas wit you boo, screw who?
Incest, never dissed a kiss shine on your wrist for a birthday gift
Niggas like, you must've bent that she never would've spent that
On Cam'Ron I bought me my first box of tampons
Bleeding in the pants at the school dance
Never took a chance at romance although all my friends think ya fly
But me doing that, I think I'd die, we like Thelma and JJ, Brandy and Ray J
Anyone against C and C, pulled a AK
Thinkin' 'bout sucking your dick, had me sick
But if I lost my mind, you'd be the first I'd lick
I don't care if they try to avoid us
I don't care what they do
I don't care about anything else but
Me and you boo, me and you boo, me and you boo
A-yo I'm sorry yo, but when it come to Charli
I wouldn't hit that, we got back like Atari
How you live mister? Yo you see me and CB she a wig twister
Call her my big sister she game heads
Never wear the same threads
I wouldn't hit that if we slept in the same bed
Fucking with her, yo shit get sliced her wrist is ice
And rappin', the bitch is nice
She told me how girls fool you for the bucks
And I should stay low, cool up in the cut
I told her the difference a wooler from the blunt
That's how we get down so cool I call her cha'
And any girl next to her, just to run her up
That's why y'all run a muck thinkin' that I done her up
I thought about it once when we grew up
But then I saw her naked and I threw up
A-yo Cam, yo
Yo I know you knocked Charli off
No I did not man, yo stop lying
Word to my mother, I did not hit that man
A-yo I'm your dog duke you can tell me
Nigga I would tell you if I did her
Yo I know you hit that, yo how the head, how the head kid?
Yo I did not touch her, that's like my sister
Yo, stop frontin' that's like my sister, word to mother
Yo you lying, whatever man whatever
Yeah, aight a-yo Charli, what's up with you and Cam

"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.

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.
