High life
We're from America,
We're from America,
Where we eat our young
We're from America,
We're from America,
It's where jesus was born
We're from America,
We're from America,
Where they let you cum on there faces
We're from America,
We're from America,
We speak American
We don't believe in credibility,
Because we know that were fucking incredible [Repeat: x2]
I want to be a martyr don't want to be a victim,
Be a killer with a gun so they call me a hero,
Want to be a martyr don't want to be a victim,
Be a killer with a gun so they call me a hero
God is an excuse [Repeat: x7]
So sing it with me
We're from America,
We're from America,
We're from America,
You can sing it with me
We're from America,
We're from America,
We're from America,
You can sing it with me
We're from America
We don't like to kill our unborn,
We need them to grow up and fight our wars [Repeat: x2]
We believe in everything we say,
We say it because we believe it [Repeat: x2]
We're from America,
We're from America,
We're from America,
You can sing it with me
We're from America,
We're from America,
We're from America,
You can sing it with me
We're from America,
You can sing it with me,
We're from America,
You can sing it with me,
We're from America,
Were from America,
We turn literature into litter
We're from America,
Were from America,
We believe in being a quitter
I'm in recovery [Repeat: x3]
We're from America,
We're from America,
From America, so sing it with me,
We're from America,
We're from America,
We're from America,
You can sing it with me [Repeat: x2]
We're from America,
You can sing it with me [Repeat: x2]
We eat our young [Repeat: x12]
We're from America,
Where we eat our young
We're from America,
We're from America,
It's where jesus was born
We're from America,
We're from America,
Where they let you cum on there faces
We're from America,
We're from America,
We speak American
We don't believe in credibility,
Because we know that were fucking incredible [Repeat: x2]
I want to be a martyr don't want to be a victim,

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

"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.

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.
Wow I really liked eat me drink me for the dark side it had some very good songs on that cd but this new song really rocked me back to anti-christ superstar. i hope the rest of the cd is just as good
really? i found the album nothing like anti-christ superstar. but maybe your hearing something i'm not.
