By Walter Egan and Ed Berghoff

I can't sleep for wanting you, but I don't miss my dreams,
This feeling is so brand new, don't know what I should do
Want to go to extremes.
I don't know what time it is, I don't know my name,
I don't know a thing about this, but I just can't resist,
Like a moth to the flame.

Wanting you makes me feel alive
All I know is wanting you,
Every time I close my eyes all there is is wanting you
Wanting you wanting you wanting you wanting you

I don't know what's wrong or right, or what hell I'll pay,
I'm playing with dynamite, is this love at first sight
Or a fool's holiday.
Alone in the dark in bed, I'm restless as sin,
The thoughts running through my head, all those things that you said,
Again and againâ?¦

Chorus

I fall for your grey green eyes, the smell of your hair,
My heart knows no compromise, it just does or it dies,
Like it just doesn't care.

Chorus

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.
