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.
Funny faces
In sunny places
Being in love it feels so great
And all I need is
Two ingredients:
My buttercup
And the perfrect place
Me and you
Here's what we'll do
Walk hand-in-hand
Into Lovers Land, aah
You're the best
And I can't resist
A kiss on the lips aaah aaah
Don't talk
just watch the world go by
As we float away
In slow motion
So special
It's so special
You the girl i see
I am your boy to be
I'm so happy
I'm so happy
That I'm a boy and you're a girl alright
I'm so happy
i'm so happy
I'm overjoyed
We're gonna hang out tonight
I can't walk
Can't move
Because i'm paralyzed
By your love
And that's OK by me
I'm so happy
I'm so Happy
It's real great
We're lovers of loving love
Lovers of loving love
It's so hip
To give you a kiss
And taste cherry chapstick aaah
It's our secret,
Our little secret
We'll never tell
Don't talk
just watch the world go by
As we float away
In slow motion
So special

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I haven't seen the video clip, but when I heard this song, I broke out in fits of laughter. It's such a feel-good song, that IS of course about love, but it doesn't have to be mushy to get its point across. There should be more songs out there like this one, it makes you feel good.
