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.
Que tristeza me traigo por dentro, que no calma ni el vino ni nada
Voy sufriendo y no encuentro el remedio pa' curar lo que traigo en el alma
Tu recuerdo me tiene en cadenas, y tu engaño me trae mal herido
Porque tú te burlaste en mi cara, mientras yo era sincero contigo
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Hoy mi vida la traigo amargada
Me pagaste con la peor moneda
Te entregaste a otro cuando más te amaba
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Ya mi barca perdió su destino
Tu retrato maldigo entre copas
Y ahogo tu recuerdo en el mar de mi olvido
Yo no sé por qué tuve esta suerte, de encontrarte ese día en mi camino
Ni por qué fui a caer en tus brazos, a entregarte mi amor y mi cariño
Si en verdad tú no vales la pena y de amores nunca has entendido
Quiera Dios que en la vida tú pagues, las maldades que has hecho conmigo
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Hoy mi vida la traigo amargada
Me pagaste con la peor moneda
Te entregaste a otro cuando más te amaba
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Ya mi barca perdió su destino
Tu retrato maldigo entre copas
Y ahogo tu recuerdo en el mar de mi olvido
Voy sufriendo y no encuentro el remedio pa' curar lo que traigo en el alma
Tu recuerdo me tiene en cadenas, y tu engaño me trae mal herido
Porque tú te burlaste en mi cara, mientras yo era sincero contigo
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Hoy mi vida la traigo amargada
Me pagaste con la peor moneda
Te entregaste a otro cuando más te amaba
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Ya mi barca perdió su destino
Tu retrato maldigo entre copas
Y ahogo tu recuerdo en el mar de mi olvido
Yo no sé por qué tuve esta suerte, de encontrarte ese día en mi camino
Ni por qué fui a caer en tus brazos, a entregarte mi amor y mi cariño
Si en verdad tú no vales la pena y de amores nunca has entendido
Quiera Dios que en la vida tú pagues, las maldades que has hecho conmigo
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Hoy mi vida la traigo amargada
Me pagaste con la peor moneda
Te entregaste a otro cuando más te amaba
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Ya mi barca perdió su destino
Tu retrato maldigo entre copas
Y ahogo tu recuerdo en el mar de mi olvido

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
