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.
When the night is closing
Eyes are running wild
Then I hear you humming
All night long
The sign I see it
Tell me am I true
All I need from you is
All I see
This city's paved with cold
Playboys buying fun
Seems there is no hunter left
Without his hunting gun
Can you feel the light
The air is wild open
Oh you see the light it's coming through
It's there in the distance
Always offered to me
Always coming over a hill
Oh your see-saw smile
Lasts me all night long
Like a siren's curl
When the night is long
Now come hold my hand
No bad vibe hearts
Hold my hand you know
This journey could be long
Yeah the seasons come in
All the nights are woven
All the nights we'll see them through
Ah no hundred men now
Would dare cut into us
We'll go on and see it through
Belle,
Une rose qui a joue son role
Mon Miroir,
Mon clef d'or
Mon cheval
Et mon gant sont les cinq secrets de ma puissance
Je voulais livrer
Il vous suffira de mettre ce gant
A votre main droite
Il vous transportera ou vous desirez l'etre
When the night has come in
Your eyes are running wild
Then I hear you humming
All night long
Yeah the sign I see it
Yeah the times I see it
All I need to know from you
Is all I see
Can you feel the light
The air is wild, open
Oh you see the light,
It's coming through
It's there in the distance
Always offered to me
Always coming over a hill
Yeah the seasons come in
All the nights are woven
All the nights we'll see them through
Ahh no hundred men now
Would dare cut into us
We'll go on and see it through

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion.

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
"All Night Long"
When the night is closing Eyes are running wild Then I hear you humming ...All night long.
The sign I see it Tell me: am I true? All I need from you is ...All I see.
This city's paved with cold Playboys buying fun, Seems there is no hunter left Without his hunting gun.
Can you feel the light? The air is wild open Oh you see the light it's coming through, It's there in the distance Always offered to me Always coming over a hill.
Oh your see-saw smile Lasts me all night long, Like a siren's curl When the night is long.
Now come hold my hand No bad vibe hearts, Hold my hand you know this Journey could be long.
Yeah the seasons come in All the nights are woven All the nights we'll see them through, Oh no hundred men now Would dare cut into us We'll go on and see it through.
(Belle... Une rose qui a joue son role Mon Miroir, mon clef d'or, mon cheval Et mon gant sont les cinq secrets de ma puissance)
(Je voulais livrer... Il vous suffira de mettre ce gant a votre main droite Il vous transportera ou vous desirez l'etre).
When the night has come in Your eyes are running wild Then I hear you humming over All night long.
Yeah the sign I see it Yeah the times I see it All I need to know from you is all I see.
Can you feel the light? The air is wide open Oh you see the light it's coming through, It's there in the distance Always offered to me Always coming over a hill.
Yeah the seasons come in All the nights are woven All the nights we'll see them through, Oh no hundred men now Would dare cut into us We'll go on and see it through.
