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.
Girl, you're so sexy
Everybody should see your body, yeah
Girl, you're so sexy
I think, everyone should see you
Everyone should see you in the open
Baby, open up for me
Open (open), keep it open, by the ocean
Yeah, lipstick wrapped around my lemonade glass
Starin' right at her but don't know where she's at (ooh)
(Tell me, the sun goin' up and shit, purple in the sky, feelin' good)
But now we're here at Miami-Dade
Finally here and I'm finally wasted
All I'm really tryin' to say
Is we could quit delayin'
All the sex in the ocean
All the sex on the beach (ooh)
All the sex in the open
A-all the sex in the heat (yeah, yeah)
Girl, you so sexy
You don't know what to do with all the attention on you
All the affection, all the attention
All these intentions towards you (ooh)
Tonight (ooh)

All I'm really tryin' to say

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.

Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
