"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.
Quiero adictos, robachicos, tu madre
En la fiesta de brujos, los sacrificios son humanos
Ya saben que hacer soldados babosos
Traeme la cena o te hago caldo
Una sopa de sesos why sangre
Son mortales debiles - soy brujo poderoso
El rey Lucifer me manda a comer
Una sopa de sesos humanos
Diez brujos sentados con panzas ardiendo
Pa' el hambre satanica hay un remedio
Son mortales debiles - soy el brujo poderoso
Con drogas te traen - con machete caen
El padre obscuro me manda a comer
Sesos humanos
El alcalde, el presidente, el cardenal
Con huesos de gato why cabellos cristianos
Uas de judio why agua excusado
Sesos humanos why fruta de virgen
La hora de la cena ya esta aqui
Son mortales debiles - soy brujo poderoso
Ando harto de caldo maldito
La fuerza que tengo te va fregar
El machete te va chingar
[English translate: Human Brains (Sacrifice IV)]
I want addicts,children-robbers, your mother
In wizard's feasts, the sacrifices are human
Now you know what to do stupid soldiers
Bring me dinner or become broth
A soup of brains and blood
You are weak mortals - I am a powerful wizard
Lucifer the king commands me to eat
A soup of human brains
Ten wizards seated with eager bellies
For the satanic hunger there is a remedy
You are weak mortals - I am the powerful wizard
With drugs they bring you - with a machete you will fall
The dark priest orders me to eat
Human brains
The mayor, the president, the cardinal
With cat's bones and Christian hairs
Jew's nails and toilet water
Human brains and fruit of a virgin
Supper time is now here
You are weak mortals - I am a powerful witch
I am full of cursed broth
The power I have is going
En la fiesta de brujos, los sacrificios son humanos
Ya saben que hacer soldados babosos
Traeme la cena o te hago caldo
Una sopa de sesos why sangre

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
