its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I'm driving
Your girlfriend home
And she's saying
How she never chose you
"Turn left", she says
I turn left
And she says
"So how did I end up
So deeply involved in
The very existence
I planned on avoiding?"
And I can't answer
I'm driving
Your girlfriend home
And she's laughing
To stop herself crying
"Drive on", she says
I drive on
And she says
"So how did I end up
Attached to this person
When his sense of humor
Gets gradually worser ?"
And I can't tell her
I'm parking
Outside her home
And we're shaking hands
Goodnight, so politely
Your girlfriend home
And she's saying
How she never chose you
"Turn left", she says
I turn left
And she says
"So how did I end up
So deeply involved in
The very existence
I planned on avoiding?"
And I can't answer
I'm driving
Your girlfriend home
And she's laughing
To stop herself crying
"Drive on", she says
I drive on
And she says
"So how did I end up
Attached to this person
When his sense of humor
Gets gradually worser ?"
And I can't tell her
I'm parking
Outside her home
And we're shaking hands
Goodnight, so politely

He certainly did earn that reputation.

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.
I interpret it as the speaker (lets just say its moz) is reflecting on a (platonic) interaction that he had with the girlfriend of someone he knows in which she lamented her relationship woes and he seems to be sort of taking her side and subtly warning her boyfriend, who he is speaking to, that she is not actually very interested in that man anymore.\n\nit could be that the speaker has a thing for her boyfriend and is saying "hey she doesnt like you anyway"\n\nor it could be kind of like Girl Afraid where it\'s just him viewing a fraught hetero relationship from the outside and observing
