Striving for that certain existentialism
Everything within your grasp
You take it all
A bent frame of mind is all that you own
Even my own values are being raped by you
In this day and age we are reminded or how we try and how we fail
Told to take roads not even treaded on before
We are dust thrown upon the dirt
Ash made our eyes
We say we are and obey another
Does your right hand even know what your left hand is doing right now?
Contradiction plagues like leprosy
Death haunts you from all sides
I can see the walking dead
Facing all curses you have brought
Face me; change me in ways I can't imagine
Give nothing and take all
This is what you call life
Now I take from you what you strived for
It took me this long to reach her
Castle saved at the princess' price
I killed you inside
Separating body from head

    Basically, Mario says "eh fuck it" and kills Bowser without taking the princess. Sounds like this song was made out of frustration; the whole "I'm sorry, but the princess is in another castle" thing can get to you after awhile.

    My Interpretation

    I've been listening to this song a lot and I feel like the message is something like "save the kingdom (or whatever) instead of seekinf self-interest (princess)". What use there is to save the princess apart from own pleasure? At least that is the message I wish the song is trying to tell.

    Awesome song.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"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.

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."
