Tiny heart
Stuck inside yourself
When will you open up for me
I love you so
And want to meet you again
Before one of us must go

Your lips touched every hand but mine
In their shadows you slept fine
When will you get back to me
So we can rest

Tiny heart
You're not by yourself
When will you recognize the beat
Of my own heart
Making your blood flow
So that your chest can rise and fall

Your lips touched every hand but mine
In their shadows you slept fine
When will you get back to me
So we can rest

You will never know
What you have done to me
You will never know
Losing love from me
You will never know
A single day alone

Tiny heart
Stuck inside yourself
When will you open up

Your lips touched every hand but mine
In their shadows you slept fine
When will you get back to me
So we can rest

When you choose me
I'm waiting for you
Always waiting

    Hey guys! So, I'm a Christian and this is the way I understand this song. I'm not saying that the way you understand this song is wrong, I just wanted to share my thoughts :)

    This song is about how God loves us. The lyrics are the words that God tells us. "Tiny heart, stuck inside yourself. When will you open up to me?" He's asking us when are we going to open up to Him, he wants to make us feel how much he loves us and it is said so in the Bible that we belong to God and He gave us free will and we chose darkness from light, that's why he says "I love you so, wanna meet you again," and while we're here on earth, His grace and mercy never runs out so as long as we're alive, we still have a chance to repent and be saved. But when we die, we get what we deserve. That's the part where it goes like, "before one of us must go."

    Then the chorus goes like, "Your lips touch every hand but mine," so we people, we kiss to show how much we love that person, and this is symbolical. It means, we've shown many people how much we loved them but we never gave God a chance to show us how He loves us so that we could love Him back. "In the shadows, you've slept fine, when will you get back to me? So we can rest." this means that in the darkness, in sin, we got contented in suffering but the truth is He can give us more than that, He can give us peace so we can rest.

    The second verse goes like, "Tiny heart, you're not by yourself." He never leaves us nor forsakes us. "When will you recognize the beat of my own heart making your blood flow so that your chest can rise and fall." When will we realize that it's Him who makes alive? When will we realize that it's Him who did everything just so we could live?

    Then the bridge goes like, "You will never know what you have done to me," we will never know how much pain we've put Him through when He got crucified and also in our everyday lives because of our sins so that we could be saved. "You will never know losing love from me," He loves us unconditionally and no words could explain how much he loves us. Even though there are times that we hurt Him, but He still loves us. "You will never know a single day alone." Even though we go on with our lives everyday without recognizing Him, He is just there guiding us and loving us till the end.

    Lastly, outro goes like this, "If you choose me, I'm waiting for you. ALWAYS WAITING." This means that He's just there waiting with arms wide open until we recognize Him and surrender all to Him.

    Hope that helped! He loves us so much. God bless!

Van Halen
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
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.
