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.
Yeah, never thoughts of suicide, I'm too alive
But I still treat it likes it's do or die
Even though dying isn't in the plans
But neither was making it and here I am
In the presidential do you like your new room?
Always presidential and tonight's no blue moon
Since I saw Aliyah's precious life go too soon
She deserve the credit for how I'm about to get it
That's why I got a new dumb thing moving through the street
Got a new condo, move it to the beach
Heard Nicki just bought a brand new crib
Goddamn man she's beauty and the beast (Lord)
Seems like yesterday that I was up and coming
Still so young that I ain't had enough of nothing
The fam here, the drink here, the girls here?
Well, fuck, let's get it then
Uh, I'm tryna let go of the past
Should we make this one a double?
You ain't even gotta ask, ah
Because it's hard to say no (say no)
Yeah, it gets hard to say no
Are you down, are you down? Yeah, you all the way down
Every time, every time, every time, every time
Am I down, am I down? Yeah, I'm all the way down
We'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be fine
Are you down, are you down? Yeah, you all the way down
Every time, every time, every time, every time
Am I down, am I down? Yeah, I'm all the way down
We'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be fine
Yeah, used to make us proud we had dreams of getting bigger man
Loved you until now, but now I'm the nigga man
You keep talking how "You was this and you had this"
And you deserve some fucking credit how did anyone forget it
Got a show up in your city, yo girl is in the line
And the line around the corner it's my motherfucking time
You should take it as a sign, man I got it right now
I wouldn't doubt it 'cause these bitches all about it right now
Let's be real about this shit, can I take you home?
Or come to where you stay? Do you live on your own?
I heard you got your ways, I never would have known
She said "you're such a dog" I say "you're such a bone"
I've been everywhere, where you know me from?
These days women give it to me like they owe me one
But they crave attention though they always saying "Show me something"
But girl you ain't the only one that's tryna be the only one
At least I admit that, if you get that, and you with that
Then, fuck, let's get it then
Uh, I'm tryna let go of the past
Should we make this one a double?
You ain't even gotta ask, ah
Because it's hard to say no (say no)
Yeah, it gets hard to say no
Are you down, are you down? Yeah, you all the way down
Every time, every time, every time, every time
Am I down, am I down? Yeah, I'm all the way down
We'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be fine
Are you down, are you down? Yeah, you all the way down
Every time, every time, every time, every time
Am I down, am I down? Yeah, I'm all the way down
We'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be fine
Yeah! Drizzy, yo turn, nigga
Take Care of the business, nigga (shine on these niggas)
Give these niggas the business, nigga
Kill spray anything in the way, nigga, fuck 'em, we don't love 'em
Yeah, it's just that Uptown gangsta shit
Toronto, stand up for one of the realest niggas
Drizzy, with the realest flow, y'know?
Toast to this gangsta shit (to this gangsta shit)
OVO YMCMB (believe that)
Yeah, you understand me?
Playing with these motherfucking millions like they ain't nothing
Throwin' hundreds, rubber band stacks, yeah
That YMCMB shit, nigga, flashy lifestyle
One hundred
But I still treat it likes it's do or die
Even though dying isn't in the plans
But neither was making it and here I am

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
