Dans mon pays,
Le bleu est noir
Je crois sourire,
J’ai cru te voir
Il y a déjà dans ce silence
Un dieu qui danse
Qui chante l’aurore d’une autre histoire
Qui croit aimer mais n’aime pas
Ah les sirènes,
Qu’elles viennent,
Qu’elles viennent…

Dans mon pays,
J’avale les siècles
Pour les recracher aussi sec
Mais de retour dans ma câline
On m’assassine
Dans mon pays,
Tout est normal
Seule la nuit a peur des étoiles
J’ai cru au monde
Stupide,stupide

Dans mon pays,
Les cœurs impurs
Jettent de l’ivresse sur leur blessure
Au fond si la fureur dérange
C’est parce qu’elle chante
Dans ce désert,
Danse sur la mer,
Mange le sel et bois de l’air
Et vos escortes m’emportent,m’emportent…

Jette la pluie,le vent et les étoiles
Jette ce cri qu’il souffle sur la grand voile
Jette l’enfance,le cœur de tes promesses
Jette tout,jette tout,retourne à l’ivresse

J’irai sourire au monde !

Dans ma folie,
Rien ne m’affole
Il y a cette rumeur qui dégringole
Je suis cet enfant qu’on assassine
Je n’ai plus sixteen !
Bercés par l’espoir qu’on nous laisse
Les trains de nuit crient leur détresse
Ah la rumeur des villes
Faut qu’elle scintille !

Dans mon pays,
Cette tour d’ivoire
Me fait dire qu’il est trop tard
A tout les cœurs qui se résignent
Plus rien n’vous indignent
Tissons les rêves avec de l’air
Au milieu du funéraire
Dans ma forêt,
Plus rien ne m’intrigue…

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.

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.

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/
