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.
Hello
My name is Justice
I'm here to figure out the main topic of discussion
I'm moving slow I figured you already knew that
Feeling good
Accomplishing everything my attention shoot at
I do rap about some irrelevant stuff
But there is meaning
And it is definite love
For anyone to chill out
When they're lighting a blunt, bowl or paper
Whichever you want
Kick your feet up
And let your mind, body and soul vibe to my song
This is what I'm always on
This is why I'm always blowing strong
I get addicted to chilling by myself
Improving my health with the things I do
I'm just hoping I can do it for you too
I'm cool smooth
With a sound like rhythm and blues
Clues coming all the time
To get right with my angels
Let me share my soul with you
I'm so true
Yet still
Out here searching for my proof
It's so new
How do I stick and move on the beat like some glue
Old school vibes
I'm smoked all the time
Have a no no fine for those who try to knock me off my path
Your games won't last
Third eye seeing right through that bullshit
I made a full shift
From dummy to retard intelligence
I'm about to drool kid
Bending like a paper clip
Lending service like a handkerchief
I listen to ya deepest darkest secrets
Without ever relaying it
That's why my friends are hanging with me and smiling
Because we all maintaining shit
Inspiration is what I'm tryna be
Let me see
I'm gonna take this beat and show you that every brain is very unique
Just take a trip with me
When I'm high especially
I really want to show you the equity of me
And who's next to me
Perspectively
I'm on a quest for peace
Others might say I'm blessed to be
I deny it
Try to hide it
Deep inside
It comes alive just like a riot
But I'm the pilot so I fly
This voice inside my head just tells me die
Fuck you bitch
Do not blow my high my guy
Punched that though right in his eye
I have a technique that is so unique and so complete
They tried to push me down but I won't drown
They tried to hold me down
But I climbed out
So tell me what you gonna do now
And I'm just patiently waiting
For my shot I'm gonna take it
Blaze it face it
Face the facts
The way I react to the things put in my way
You would've thought that I learned the shiolin way
Medically inducing sounds
So surreal
So surround
That it's an ear eargasm when you play it loud
Don't turn it down
Tune it to the frequency you need to hit light speed
I'm just peddling never selling the limits to the finish line I am about to cross
Because it's nowhere in sight
Just sit on it nevermind
See me that dude is a nerd
Exploring to serve
So I can survive
Provide a life to where I can kick back and get fried
Watch the ocean tides collide
Where the money supply will be no surprise
Maybe I lied
I want to treat my wife to an everlasting life on the beach watching the fire
Man that would be live

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."

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.
