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.
Duermo en un acorde mágico
Y despierto al oírlo tocar
Soy la esencia de la humanidad
Represento la promiscuidad
De las almas que enferman de paz
Me presento, soy la libertad
De tu cuerpo y no cobro con fe
Y ahora dime, ¿cuánto vale tu alma?
Y ahora pide, ¿dinero o placer?
¿Sueñas con curar el cáncer?
El SIDA fue cosa de Yahvé
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Y sé que moriré de amor decadente
Lúgubres besos, quémate en mí
El Príncipe de la Dulce Pena soy
Y mi sangre alimenta tu ser
La lujuria de mis alas
Roza tus pechos y araña tu piel
Bebe, embriaga tus vicios
Decide, ¿orgasmos o amor?
La única Iglesia que ilumina es la que arde
El Nazareno duerme en su Cruz
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Y sé que moriré de amor decadente
Lúgubres besos, quémate en mí
Oh Señor, rey de la tristeza
Ángel del dulce dolor
Bebe la hiel de mi boca
Blasfema, ven, hazme el amor
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Y sé que moriré de amor decadente
Lúgubres besos, quémate en mí
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Si tocas en mi honor, saldré de este infierno
Dame tu alma, no quiero morir
Y despierto al oírlo tocar
Soy la esencia de la humanidad
Represento la promiscuidad
De las almas que enferman de paz
Me presento, soy la libertad
De tu cuerpo y no cobro con fe
Y ahora dime, ¿cuánto vale tu alma?
Y ahora pide, ¿dinero o placer?
¿Sueñas con curar el cáncer?
El SIDA fue cosa de Yahvé
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Y sé que moriré de amor decadente
Lúgubres besos, quémate en mí
El Príncipe de la Dulce Pena soy
Y mi sangre alimenta tu ser
La lujuria de mis alas
Roza tus pechos y araña tu piel
Bebe, embriaga tus vicios
Decide, ¿orgasmos o amor?
La única Iglesia que ilumina es la que arde
El Nazareno duerme en su Cruz
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Y sé que moriré de amor decadente
Lúgubres besos, quémate en mí
Oh Señor, rey de la tristeza
Ángel del dulce dolor
Bebe la hiel de mi boca
Blasfema, ven, hazme el amor
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Y sé que moriré de amor decadente
Lúgubres besos, quémate en mí
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Si tocas en mi honor, saldré de este infierno
Dame tu alma, no quiero morir

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Magical

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.
-We could use a couple of incubuses right now -Azaak joked.- -If we had any instruments, I'd make your wish come true, for sure -mysertiously confirmed Sara.- -Really? You never cease to surprise me. -There's an old legend about a damned chord, the chord of the Devil. Anyone who plays it or listens to it activates the gates of evil. And they say Satan himself appears. It's like a summoning, but in music. -That's exactly what that poor jewish girl that just got fried confessed -said Juanillo-. Sometimes the warder kept them company and told them all sort of gossips. He felt very lonely, too. -Really? -asked Sara amused-. -Really -confirmed Juanillo-. She called her the tritone, the "Diabulus in Musica".
I sleep in a magic chord, and wake up when I hear it, I'm the essence of humanity.
I represent promiscuity of the souls that sicken with peace, I appear: I'm freedom of your body and I don't charge with faith!
Now tell me: how much does your soul cost? now tell me: money or pleasure? Do you dream with curing cancer? HIV was invention of Yahveh.
I wanna be with you and feed you, sometimes the pain sleeps in a song. And I know I'll die from decadent love, lugubrious kisses. Burn in me!
The Prince of the Sweet Sorrow I am and my blood feeds your being. The lust of my wings caresses your breasts and scratches your skin.
Drink! Intoxicate your vices. Decide! Orgasms or love. The only church that illuminates is the one that burns, the Nazarene sleeps in his Cross.
I wanna be with you and feed you, sometimes the pain sleeps in a song. And I know I'll die from decadent love, lugubrious kisses. Burn in me!
"Oh Lord, king of the sadness, angel of the sweet pain, drink the bile from my mouth, blaspheme, come and make love to me."
I wanna be with you and feed you, sometimes the pain sleeps in a song. And I know I'll die from decadent love, lugubrious kisses. Burn in me!
I wanna be with you and feed you, sometimes the pain sleeps in a song. If you play in my honor, I'll go out of this Hell, give me your soul, I don't want to die.
I run a Mago de Oz translation site that has lyrics to El Lago... check it out! thelandofoz.us
"Diabulus in Musica", or the Tritone, is a musical interval that spans three whole tones or six semitones. The two most basic types of tritone are the augmented fourth and the diminished fifth. Two tritones add up to 6 whole tones (or 12 semitones), usually a perfect octave.
One of the two strong dissonances in the diatonic scale, it was called diabulus in musica ("the Devil's interval") by some from the early music era to the baroque period. It was exploited heavily in the Romantic period as an interval of modulation for its ability to evoke a strong reaction by entering the key least related (retaining only two common tones, the least possible) to what occurs previous.
Right, so there's some music theory (and history) for you all. Clearly, Txus Di Fellatio is a well educated man.
