J'ai mis un tigre dans ma guitare
Pour mieux rugir mon amour
J'voulais chasser un cafard
L'anéantir
Pour toujours

J'ai mis un tigre dans ma guitare
J'étais fou de te revoir
J'ai attendu tout un matin
M'as posé
Un beau lapin

J'ai un lapin dans ma guitare
Qui grignote tous mes espoirs
C'est un gourou
Un p'tit tatou
Un rongeur
Un Pompidou

Un Pompidou dans ma guitare
Mais un gros lapin dans la gorge
Je t'ai attendue jusqu'au soir
Aussi vrai
Que je m'appelle Georges

J'ai une chèvre dans ma guitare
Pour mieux bêler mon désespoir
Et dans la nuit, soudain j'ai compris
Que de toi
Je n'ai plus envie

J'ai mis un loup dans ma guitare
J'étais, j'étais Monsieur Séguin
J'ai assisté à la bagarre
La chèvre est morte
Au petit matin

J'ai un gorille dans la poitrine
Et une anguille dans la vitrine

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Light Up The Sky
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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
