Well I guess that's an attraction
I guess that's common ground
But I'll consider it a call in to action for vision and feeling and sound
That's chaos caused by my condition
That's bloodshot eyes and making bones
Was it fate or was it friction, our lives ground together, eroding like stones?
Whatever answers that question we'll probably never know

Well it's probably my opinion
But there's danger everywhere
If you know where to look for a crook or a burglar or brawler or scare
And it's perfect for distraction
When you're running for your life
It's hard to think about other things, however deafening, try as you might
But darling, that's how you know that the danger is much more than slight

Sun's up this morning once again
A fact that my body won't admit
Night falls and it's back in my head
Get set, get bent, get dangerous

You spoke your mind
Out (---)
Time after time
Night after night

You can be the strings, I can be the frets, fate'll be the fingers
'Least that's what I thought she said
You can be the pen, I can be the ink
But if we're missing inspiration how the hell am I supposed to sing
Words without meaning or a song without a melody?

And it's mostly medication
That helps me make it through the day
Yeah we take down these medicines, carcinogens, and caffeine like the Catholics pray
And I'm open to suggestion
On how to step out of the spin
But before I can take action I get so distracted and the sun sets again
But darling, that's when I know that my chances are getting thin

I close, he's shooting from the hip
My trigger finger starts to itch
Night falls and it's back in my head
Get set, get bent, get dangerous
Inside they're staring at the clock
Outside we're lighting up the spot
No time to take it from the top
Come on boys, let's give it all we got

Let's get dangerous

My hands are closed, my fists are tied
My eyes and ears are open wide
So you can look right on inside
But I'm not finished, not tonight

Let's get dangerous

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.

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.

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."
