I was trotting along...
the desert was hot...
and I sang this song.

Yo, I'm rugged,
my camel's got the three-wheeled motion.
Every word I say you want to put into your quotient.
Zanzabar, raised by the wolves.
Oxford education as phrased by the wolves.
My khaki shirt's tucked into my tight khaki pants,
I drink too much and do my white, whacky dance.
To hell with that, I'm a man without shame.
Listen to the howls on the wind there's my name.
(zanzabar)
Hell yes bitch, say it loud.
I see the shape of a vagina in every passing cloud.
And in my weary state, I thirst for bread,
could settle for my sketches of vagina clouds instead.
I hunger for water, ache for my wolf friends,
I have jerked off to vagina clouds at least 73 times now.
Vagina clouds...
Vagina... they look so pretty.
I wonder if people suspect that I'm a wolf,
as opposed to a manly adventurer?

Man it's hot, sun all around me.
I'd better focus on a vagina cloud to ground me.
Ah, that's better. Woops, there's the wolf pack.
I think that I'll rape my sidekick with my name,
ZANZABAR.

God damn is it hot.
What's the deal?
It seems we haven't been talking for hours.
The sun is so hot I've been eating sand mixed with flour.
Zanzabar.
He calls them sand pops.
I call them disgusting. He likes them a lot.
He says, "They're tastier hot, better strike that match up."
I say, "Maybe you're right. Could you pass the ketchup?"
That's about it on the conversation front.
What could he be thinking as he sits on his hump?
I bet he just hates the rice meatloaf I made,
and seems less than impressed with the souflees I souflee.
In fact he's never impressed with anything that I cook,
He just points to the sky, turns to me and says
"Look! That vagina cloud there, I think it winked at me!"
I say, "That's great double-z, I only saw a bunny.
And that one there, sort of looks like a gun."
"A vagina gun?"
"No, a regular one. Like this one here that I'm pointing at you
filled with poisonous darts that stick to you like glue.
See I'm sick of your crap, and your vagina rap,
so I leave you to die as your spinal gets tapped.
Slowly losing your mind and start hallucinating,
so you can watch your clouds and keep masturbating."

"Woooooh, Zanzabar feels funny.
I'm floating up to the clouds and everything looks runny."
"Z, come back! I feel terrible, but the heat and the verbal
abuse was unbearable!"
"Worry not tiny sidekick, I don't hate ya.
Though I wish I had time to come down there and rape ya."
"You don't mean that, I'm sure,
it's the poison that's talking."
"With my new wings I prefer flying to walking."
"You're just flapping your arms in the sand."
"Your delusions of grandeur are certainly grand.
Now if you don't mind I'll be flying to China.
Oh look! There's a cactus that's shaped like a vagina!"
"Wait you fool! Aw I stepped in some shit."
"Observe as I tickle the cactus's clit!"

"I just bought these shoes,
holy crap I am mad.
Now I'll have to return them, and I lost the receipt.
Aw, it must be here somewhere... in the trash...
AW! Who took out the trash?
MOM! I told you not to come in here, this is my room!
It's my room, my space!"
"Hey I pay the bills!"
"Read the sign on the door! Aw geeeez..."
"Where's your friend Zanzabar?"
"Gone, what do you care?"
"Well he was such a sweet boy!"
"Always marching in here, trying to tell me what to do!
I'm sick of this, so freaking sick of this!"

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
