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.
We're happy holding hands
Oh, to us love's been grand
Walking down the path of love
While heaven smiles from up above
Cause love is in our hearts.
We stroll through the park
A kiss stolen in the dark
I'm the girl that feels supreme
For he might do most anything
Cause love is in our hearts.
When he looks into my eyes
I feel so good inside
And when he reaches out for me
It's the fourth of July
I'm so happy I could cry.
The moon's not up tonight
Our love lights up the sky
If shadows dark our day
We'll use our love to light our way
Cause love is in our hearts.
Oh, the birds in the trees
Sing lovely melodies
Sing about the love that's strong
A love affair that can't go wrong
Cause love is in our hearts.
Soft music fills the air
We haven't got a care
Our life's filled with joy
Happy is this girl and boy, oh
Cause love is in our hearts.
Love is in our hearts
Sweet love is in our hearts
Sweet love, sweet, sweet,
Sweet love is in our hearts
Love is in our hearts, oh
Love is in our hearts
Sweet love is in our hearts.
Oh, to us love's been grand
Walking down the path of love
While heaven smiles from up above
Cause love is in our hearts.
We stroll through the park
A kiss stolen in the dark
I'm the girl that feels supreme
For he might do most anything
Cause love is in our hearts.
When he looks into my eyes
I feel so good inside
And when he reaches out for me
It's the fourth of July
I'm so happy I could cry.
The moon's not up tonight
Our love lights up the sky
If shadows dark our day
We'll use our love to light our way
Cause love is in our hearts.
Oh, the birds in the trees
Sing lovely melodies
Sing about the love that's strong
A love affair that can't go wrong
Cause love is in our hearts.
Soft music fills the air
We haven't got a care
Our life's filled with joy
Happy is this girl and boy, oh
Cause love is in our hearts.
Love is in our hearts
Sweet love is in our hearts
Sweet love, sweet, sweet,
Sweet love is in our hearts
Love is in our hearts, oh
Love is in our hearts
Sweet love is in our hearts.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
