Whispering you stare
Wanting you don't care
Kiss me make me cry
How did I wind up here
Wishing you were dead
Why are you in my bed
Ignore what's jeopardized
It's only me denied
Ohh I'm dizzy hazy
Ohh can someone save me
Ohh hypnotize me
Anesthetize the pain
You speak my name I hear nothing
You share your dreams I see nothing
Unconscious suicide aren't you gone yet
You make me remember things I want to forget
Walk in the park fresh air
I shoot my drink you're still here
Inside a child asks why
Who used to bring me here
Ohh I'm dizzy hazy
Ohh can someone save me
Ohh hypnotize me
Anesthetize the pain
You speak my name I hear nothing
You share your dreams I see nothing
Unconscious suicide aren't you gone yet
You make me remember
You touch my face I feel nothing
You taste my lips I give nothing
This starving soul must be fed
You make me remember things I want to forget
Yes I do need to feel love
And I used yours like a glove
But the memories come flooding back
All I want to do is paint it black
This starving soul must be fed
You make me remember
You speak my name I hear nothing
You share your dreams I see nothing
Unconscious suicide aren't you gone yet
You make me remember things I want
You make me remember things I need
You make me remember things I want to forget

    I love this song so, so much. There's just something about it. It makes me think about this guy I like, but i'm too shy to tell him and so when I talk to him it makes me think about how much I like him and I wish I could just forget about him cause it would make everything so much easyer. i know thats not what the song is really about, but thats what it makes me think about.

    This song is actually about child sex abuse. Leah herself was a victim and portrays her horrific memories in a way that any victim will find distressing.

    I can see how this song is tied to Leah's childhood abuse, as are many of her other songs.

    However, I can not hear this song without thinking of a guy. Things ended really badly between us, and I never got any resolution on the issue. Truth be told, I'd really rather forget about it. The lines "Yes, I do need to be loved/And I used yours like a glove" describe our relationship, and everytime I see anything connected to him, I feel so much guilt over what happened...

    I don't see how this is reminding people of liking guys and such...

    This song is deff about Leah's sexual abuse and that she is in a relationship that is "unconscience suicide," meaning that it is negative and only reminds her of the past memories. This song is heartbreakingly real and I think she was very brave to sing 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."
