Alright
I laid down
And I drank the poison then I passed the fuck out
Now let me tell you 'bout the good life
I have a million different kinds of fun
When I'm asleep and in a dream that I'm your only one

Can we create something beautiful and destroy it?
Nobody knows I dream about it, this is my imagination

If you come over tonight we can travel through time
We can sleep on the ceiling and creep under black lights
I have a million different girls that hide under my bed
And when I let them out they treat me right
Oh what a waste of a perfectly good, clean wrist
You were screaming till the police came

Can we create something beautiful and destroy it?
Nobody knows I dream about it, this is my imagination
If every living thing dies alone
What am I doing here?
If every living thing dies alone
What am I doing here?
(Fuck it!)

If it's the end of the world
If it's the end of the world
You and me should spend the rest of it in love

Can we create something beautiful and destroy it?
Nobody knows I dream about it, this is my imagination
If every living thing dies alone
What am I doing here?
If every living thing dies alone
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
Oh, no

    Well this is just my thinking of it!(:

    I laid down, I drank the poison and then I passed the fuck out. Now, let me tell you about the good life. I have a million different kinds of fun. When I'm asleep and in a dream that I'm your only one. (By the poison he means drugs or drinks, so then when he just out of it he probably means "good life" as funny and humorous stories that really no one is gonna remember the next morning. Then when he's either asleep or just thinking/day dreaming, in all seriousness, he wishes he was hers)

    Can we create something beautiful and destroy it? Nobody knows I dream about it. This is my imagination. ("...Create something beautiful and destroy it?" hes saying even if it only last for a week or so he'd kill to be with her. And even in his dreams he wants to be with her so much he thinks about what he'd say/do if he had her)

    If you come over tonight, we can travel through time. We can sleep on the ceiling and creep under black lights. I have a million different girls that hide under my bed. And when I let them out they treat me right. (He still wants her so "travel through time..." until the whole "black lights" part means to spend a whole day with her to prove he's right for her, and that they can have a better time together than anyone else who's been/will be with her.)

    Oh, what a waste of a perfectly good, clean wrist. You were screaming till the police came. (Well the "clean wrist" I can think of would be if maybe she cut herself and then realized it wasn't exactly needed and maybe she overreacted so then she thought it was a waste on the clear skin without scars)

    Can we create something beautiful and destroy it? Nobody knows I dream about it. This is my imagination. If every living thing dies alone, What am I doing here? If every living thing dies alone, What am I doing here? (He starts thinking negitive instead of the more postive thoughts saying that "now maybe I shouldn't even try because I'll never get her")

    If it's the end of the world. If it's the end of the world. You and me should spend the rest of it in love. (Pretty straight forward basically just "Give me one chance it won't kill you")

    Can we create something beautiful and destroy it? Nobody knows I dream about it, This is my imagination. If every living thing dies alone, What am I doing here? If every living thing dies alone, What am I doing here? What am I doing here? Oh, no (Same as before)

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."
