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.
Tengo una cita con dios a las 5:50
Y el diablo me espera en la esquina al diez para las seis
Tengo una cita con vos mujer de pelo largo
Que sos mezcla de diablo y de dios cuando plantas un beso
Hay un desfile de modas de victoria secret un poco después
Y me fumaré algunos cigarros si me queda tiempo después del café
Tengo que andar con cuidado para no cuidarme
Que podría perderme el peligro que habita en tu vientre
Tengo que ser muy astuto para ser un idiota
Y dejarme llevar como el viento por las cosas que pasan
Tengo que andar muy atento
Para no perderme detalle de ti
Y si hay que llamarlo de un modo
Dire que te amo por llamarlo así
Por ti descubro lo poco que queda de mi
Si me voy es por ti si me quedo es igual
Si vivo es que muero por ti
Cada paso que doy cada pez en el mar
Todo tiene sentido por ti
Incluso lo poco que queda de mi
Incluso lo poco que queda de mi
Déjame plantado y no vengas
Para extrañarte mas,
Ponle la sal de lo incierto como ya tú lo sabes
Cansado de andarte buscando vine a encontrarte
Harto de nunca encontrarte por andarte buscando
Deja que te imagine con tus jeans añejos y tu saco gris
Y ponte los tennis de siempre y cámbiate el pelo para sorprender
Por ti, por ti, todo tiene sentido por ti
Cada paso que doy, cada pez en el mar
Por ti por ti todo tiene sentido por ti
Y si hay que llamarlo de un modo diré que te amo
Por llamarlo así
Mis mejores momentos y hasta mis malas rachas
Todo tiene sentido por ti
Incluso lo poco que queda de mi
Todo tiene sentido por ti
Mi tiempo mi historia mis mejores glorias
Y el diablo me espera en la esquina al diez para las seis
Tengo una cita con vos mujer de pelo largo
Que sos mezcla de diablo y de dios cuando plantas un beso
Hay un desfile de modas de victoria secret un poco después
Y me fumaré algunos cigarros si me queda tiempo después del café
Tengo que andar con cuidado para no cuidarme
Que podría perderme el peligro que habita en tu vientre
Tengo que ser muy astuto para ser un idiota
Y dejarme llevar como el viento por las cosas que pasan
Tengo que andar muy atento
Para no perderme detalle de ti
Y si hay que llamarlo de un modo
Dire que te amo por llamarlo así
Por ti descubro lo poco que queda de mi
Si me voy es por ti si me quedo es igual
Si vivo es que muero por ti
Cada paso que doy cada pez en el mar
Todo tiene sentido por ti
Incluso lo poco que queda de mi
Incluso lo poco que queda de mi
Déjame plantado y no vengas
Para extrañarte mas,
Ponle la sal de lo incierto como ya tú lo sabes
Cansado de andarte buscando vine a encontrarte
Harto de nunca encontrarte por andarte buscando
Deja que te imagine con tus jeans añejos y tu saco gris
Y ponte los tennis de siempre y cámbiate el pelo para sorprender
Por ti, por ti, todo tiene sentido por ti
Cada paso que doy, cada pez en el mar
Por ti por ti todo tiene sentido por ti
Y si hay que llamarlo de un modo diré que te amo
Por llamarlo así
Mis mejores momentos y hasta mis malas rachas
Todo tiene sentido por ti
Incluso lo poco que queda de mi
Todo tiene sentido por ti
Mi tiempo mi historia mis mejores glorias

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.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
