I'm a kickstand in your mouth
And I'm the tongue slamming on the brakes
Pull the choke in, pull the choke in
As hard as it will take
All your pictures are getting dirty
Don't want anyone else's hand on my gears
And I'll choke on all the diamonds
Like a vulture, on your face

[Chorus:]
So ask yourself before you get in
Know insurance won't cover this
Are you the rabbit or the headlight?
And is there room in your life
For one more breakdown?

You can't escape, can't escape
All your demons, all you demons
Watch out, watch out for your lovers

Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster
I'm late, I'm late
The hands I'm my clock are starting to shake
We're on the line between the devil's tits
We've been driving on E
I'm gonna to be wanted for this crime
Or at least "you're wanted," she'll say

[Chorus]

An unmarked car, can't remember where I parked you
But I love you, can't afford you; take a cab to funeral
Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster
I'm late, I'm late
The hands I'm my clock are starting to shake

You can't escape, can't escape
All your demons, all you demons
Watch out, watch out for your lovers

[Chorus]

    this song just has so much energy. I love the allusions to driving! The rabbit thing is not only the "rabbit in the headlights" concept but also obviously connected to Alice in Wonderland. "Faster, faster... I'm late I'm late" remember how the white rabbit is always worried that he's late? It's just so relatable. Come on how many time have you forgotten where you parked your car? "I love you, can't afford you. I'll take a cab to the funeral." It just really hit me. I love cars and I love Marilyn Manson!

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
