It took me awhile to realize that we was on the same page
Go about reading it out loud in different ways
I ain’t the only person that’s traveled through this maze
Not really sure whether it’s me or them that’s crazy
Making a hole in every simple system to rekindle the vision
That lost its position, that’s cost is superstition
Sitting in a time machine, a bleeding mind dreams
Of beating blind at steam, to give the crime scene shine and gleam
I’m no longer a boy scout
Cause punching myself in the head won't necessarily get that voice out
That’s something no one ever took the time to point out
But I had to learn to whisper before I could enjoy shoutin’
Periodically I feel like I’ve wasted my breath
And all I’ve got to show for it is paper stained ink
But I ain’t really trippin’ at the end of the day
Cause life is experience, and that’s how Eye One The Write Too Think

It’s How Eye One The Write Too Think ya’ll
It’s How Eye One The Write Too Think
It’s How Eye One Write Too Think ya’ll

I think about all the time that I spent trying to find an identity rhyming invents
So then I could defy by the minds penitentiary four corner rooms, a forks in the path
Consume every inch of my inner symmetry to break out the trap essentially distant
Mentally I’ll eventually snap habitually proud dysfunctional prone
Groomed it new where his thought bloomed, tomb is in musical wounds
And my shadow grew to be my only tribune
And it taught me never to abuse a full
Moon is not suitable sometimes you gotta lose control to gain it
Kind of truths to hold the rain that falls don’t bruise my soul
Like it used to, I’m used to it
And now I’m just working on smoothing out the kinks
The circuitry allows some head room before the break
So what do you gotta tell me that I don’t already know?
Just shut the fuck up and let me grow
I learn from my mistakes and eyes widen with each
Disrupt the clinks or call it what you want but this is How Eye One The Write Too Think

It’s How Eye One The Write Too Think ya’ll
It’s How Eye One The Write Too Think
It’s How Eye One Write Too Think ya’ll

I was scared to death barely slept take a breath prepare to step from where I wept to shed my tears till no nightmares were left
I had my years but no one cares to see the prayers and sweat
They just wanna share the nest and earn their percent in turn
Let it burn till the ashes isolate the cold ground
On that I stood but on this I stand and hold down
I used to be the seed of this ghost town but that was then and this is now
That was then and this is now
The war between the old brain and the new brain was won
When the prehistoric forfeited alien strangles reptile and migrates towards inner peace
The caveman dies quiet the cries riots and bias cease
No one saved my seat when I decided to rise and slay the beast
I just shut my eyes and gave my speech
But I never could have known I would become my own missing link
And it feels greater than I thought that’s How Eye One The Write Too Think

It’s How Eye One The Write Too Think X3

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
