Gasping for air, descending quickly down the harsh ravaged slope
(You) won't look behind
Fear drives you continue on, although your chest burns with pain
As does your mind. You are the prey, you are hunted by
A four legged beast of ancient times, a creature that survives
Inside a wicked wilderness of hate, and fire.
They roam land and sky
Faster you move, cutting through the black night,
Hearing the moan, of wind whistling by
You must keep on, your family awaits for
You and your priceless cargo. With great care,
You grasp at your side. To remind you of your life giving prize.
Guilt flows quite thin, although you realize you're
Taking the life of another!
Your greatest memory was from when you were very
Young, your grandfather told you of a secret of exchanging
Sickness and health. You were appalled - at the initial though
Of stealing a creature unborn child. In all your wildest dreams,
You never would have thought it would come down to this.
Two decades later (and) you have a daughter of your very own,
You're life your blood she lies screaming on her deathbed.
This soon, changed things revolving in your mind,
You went against everything.
You were taught to respect every creature born of this earth,
Nothing was below you everything was equal.
Their young holds life you must slice their heart out
You must drain the blood then feed it to your own,
To save her you must become a killer indeed.
Then your guilt, it can fuck itself, for you will have saved your child.
Once again you leave your thoughts behind as you travel
Down onto the floor of the valley and its open space
Now you can sense something behind you, and your
Heart it starts to race. Your brow is soaked with glistening sweat,
Beyond the dark trees your daughter awaits
Close is your home, you dare not look back for
Fear of what you might see
You can see reflection - on the trees ahead,
You feel warmth behind your back.
You pray that you won't die only a thousand paces to home
You can hear beating wings of a gigantic creature,
Trying to close your ears and focus on the landscape ahead
Although impossible you head the screaming lizard.
You then reach the tall trees, you feel half safe,
Hoping she will lose sight. You feel a mighty wind
Flames lick your heels as you're pushing harder
You hear trees crashing down behind and beside you,
You see your cave ahead desperate for safety you feel your mind ache
Wishing you could forget your relentless pursuer.
Ten paces left the heat burns behind
In an instant your body's on fire,
It enters your lungs you fall to the ground death
Comes and you pray for forgiveness from your god.

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."
