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.
I was livin on a landslide
Fallin fast until you took my
Hand, now I won't ever let you go
Let you go
Four-leaf clover and a horses shoe
Knockin on wood was all I ever knew
I'm savin all my wishing well pennies and
I got so many ever since you came along
Sunlight shinin, baby, roll the dice
Now that I got you by my side
We can't lose
No more waitin on a shooting star
I'm betting it all on your pretty heart
Baby, you're my lucky charm
Like an angel from the blue sky
Sent to save me from my dark side
Yeah, the light inside was fading
But I found salvation when I fell into your eyes
Sunlight shinin, baby, roll the dice
Now that I got you by my side
We can't lose
No more waitin on a shooting star
I'm betting it all on your pretty heart
Baby, you're my lucky charm
All I know is
I got your love, I got your love, baby
Yes, I do
I got your love, I got your love, baby
Oh, I got it, baby
I got your love, I got your love, baby
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa
Sunlight shinin, baby, roll the dice
Now that I got you by my side
We can't lose
No more waitin on a shooting star
I'm betting it all on your pretty heart
Baby, you're my lucky charm
Fallin fast until you took my
Hand, now I won't ever let you go
Let you go
Four-leaf clover and a horses shoe
Knockin on wood was all I ever knew
I'm savin all my wishing well pennies and
I got so many ever since you came along
Sunlight shinin, baby, roll the dice
Now that I got you by my side
We can't lose
No more waitin on a shooting star
I'm betting it all on your pretty heart
Baby, you're my lucky charm
Like an angel from the blue sky
Sent to save me from my dark side
Yeah, the light inside was fading
But I found salvation when I fell into your eyes
Sunlight shinin, baby, roll the dice
Now that I got you by my side
We can't lose
No more waitin on a shooting star
I'm betting it all on your pretty heart
Baby, you're my lucky charm
All I know is
I got your love, I got your love, baby
Yes, I do
I got your love, I got your love, baby
Oh, I got it, baby
I got your love, I got your love, baby
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa
Sunlight shinin, baby, roll the dice
Now that I got you by my side
We can't lose
No more waitin on a shooting star
I'm betting it all on your pretty heart
Baby, you're my lucky charm

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.
