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.
Where did it go now, "where did it go"
Where did it go now, "where did it go"
Where did it go now, "where did it go"
Where did it go?
If I was to fall like some water from a nozzle,
Or like a waterfall like these nuts when I jostle,
I'm a superman spider man when I bobble
Get that kind of fast homie that's when I hobble
Write up on the paper put the message in the bottle
In these darker times I'm going out full throttle
Suckin' on the joints like a baby does his bottle
If I was a turkey I'd be King of the cobble
Curse and my dick in hand tryin' to figure out understand
What went wrong hit my bong
I'll try to work it out in this song
What went wrong hit my bong
I'll try to work it out in this song
I'm caused a little blurry devastated by fist and fury
Drug me through undercurves, your punishment and end is torment
Amen to walk and lied a vi key guy when lighting strikes.
I'll weather any storm, I'll get knocked out but I'll come back strong.
But this force was so powerful it devastated,
Evil as evil gets, I found myself a war of Satan
Love lost is a love long gone
No more loving until the lost love wants to return now.
Love lost is a love long long
No more feeling any love 'less it looks at the sun now
Love lost is a love long gone
No more cryin' over spilt love listen to the thunder
Love lost is a love long gone
If it's done better run it will take you under.
Where did it go now, "where did it go"
Where did it go now, "where did it go"
Where did it go now, "where did it go"
Where did it go?
Let me talk about it for a minute
Let me talk about the girl that broke my heart
I wish I could say it was just one girl but I got about 15 scars
Any more of these days I think I'm gonna treat her like a prostitute.
All gone with a fake face in a fake place, on a fake case yeah I'm through.
Double double bitch tactics, I'ma practice a little bit of that green love .
Make money, money smoke that good
And treat another honey 'till they can't get enough.
Girl do you want me, why do you haunt me?
Why do they make me feel like flying off the handle?
Nasty girls, you don't need that shit(nope)
That's because your damn hearts been bit,
That's because you never trained that bitch,
All because you never hit that switch.
Get it, got it, good luck. come the next one.
Get it, got it, reflect on that son.
I'm a really bad example love a good land,
Don't they understand?
Love lost is a love long gone
No more loving until the lost love wants to return now.
Love lost is a love long long
No more feeling any love 'less it looks at the sun now
Love lost is a love long gone
No more crying over spilt love listen to the thunder
Love lost is a love long gone
If it's done better run it will take you under.
Where did it go now, "Where did it go"
Where did it go now, "Where did it go"
Where did it go now, "Where did it go"
Where did it go?
Adios, sayonara, there ain't no need to even bother when we talk it only gets me hotter under my collar,
Don't need no drama, no I don't need it, and no I don't want it,
So you can take it back to where you got,
Girl let's be honest,we had some fun for a couple weekends but then it was done.
I should just what what you seekin' but darlin' I ain't the one.
We freak and fuck an *must have* slipped and bumped your head fell in love,
What was you thinking when I asked if all your friends wanna fuck?
It's no wonder why you try to hold me under
Try to suffocate me so I just can't breathe (just can't breathe)
You got your hands around my neck with the poison you inject.
I reject you can't infect me (infect me)
I'm immune to the hate I expand and elevate,
Cause my fate is to live life free. (So Free)
It is gone and I'm gone, I'll just break out my bong,
And I'll pack it with some sticky icky green.
You want in on it, all 'cause at times I killin' that pain, relax my mind
And miss my thoughts I'm checkin' for knots,
I'm keepin' it tight with a ping when I rhyme.
A smokin' machine, a bowl of the green,
I'm toppin' it off, and just me and my team,
I hitted it off for chasin' the dream,
Forever we ride if you know what I mean.
I feel what you mean cause I'm diggin' the scene
Like shovels and bubbles of cannabis green.
I was a King, she is my Queen,
Now I'm out with a gangsta lean, Biatch!
Love lost is a love long gone
No more loving until the lost love wants to return now.
Love lost is a love long long
No more feeling any love 'less it looks at the sun now
Love lost is a love long gone
No more cryin' over spilt love listen to the thunder
Love lost is a love long gone
If it's done better run it will take you under.
Where did it go now, "where did it go"
Where did it go now, "where did it go"
Where did it go?
If I was to fall like some water from a nozzle,

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
