"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.
"Yes, yes, I know you're hungry
Ah, and here comes dinner"
Feed my Frankenstein
Well, I ain't evil
I'm just good lookin'
Start a little fire
And baby start cookin'
I'm a hungry man
But I don't want pizza
I'll blow down your house
And then I'm gonna eat ya
Bring you to a simmer
Right on time
Run my greasy fingers
Up your greasy spine
Feed my Frankenstein
Meet my libido
"He's a psycho"
Feed my Frankenstein
Hungry for love and it's feeding time
You don't want to talk
So baby, shut up
And let me drink the wine from your fur tea cup
Velcro candy, sticky sweet
Make my tattoos melt in the heat
Well, I ain't no veggie
Like my flesh on the bone
Alive and lickin' on your ice cream cone
Feed my Frankenstein
Meet my libido
"He's a psycho"
Feed my Frankenstein
Hungry for love and it's feeding time
Baby whoa-whoa oh yeah
Feed my Frankenstei-ei-ein
Whoa-whoa baby chow down
Feed my Frankenstei-ei-ein
"He's a psycho"
Feed my Frankenstein
Meet my libido
"He's a psycho"
Feed my Frankenstein
Hungry for love and it's "lunch time"
Baby, whoa-whoa, oh yeah
Feed my Frankenstei-ei-ein
Whoa-whoa, baby chow down
Feed my Frankenstei-ei-ein
Feed my Frankenstein
Meet my libido
"He's such a psycho"
Feed my Frankenstein
Hungry for love and it's feeding time
Baby, whoa-whoa, oh yeah
Feed my Frankenstei-ei-ein
Whoa-whoa, baby, chow down
Feed my Frankenstei-ei-ein
Ah, and here comes dinner"
Feed my Frankenstein
Well, I ain't evil
I'm just good lookin'
Start a little fire
And baby start cookin'
I'm a hungry man
But I don't want pizza
I'll blow down your house
And then I'm gonna eat ya
Bring you to a simmer
Right on time
Run my greasy fingers
Up your greasy spine
Feed my Frankenstein
Meet my libido
"He's a psycho"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."
Punchline

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song is purely about sex (particully of the oral kind!) and lust pure and simple!
Yeah but i still think it RoCKS
ok, littlehugs... alice isnt a woman... alice cooper IS vincent... he changed his name to the name of his band, alice cooper...
ok, what the hell are you talkin about? johnny cash did not, marilyn manson did not (his real name is brian warner), and alice in chains is a band.... and im pretty sure robert plant did not visit your house (even though that is totally irrellevant...
yo ur such an idiot, or u might be just saying this to piss me off now... a boy named sue was another johnny cash song, so was ring of fire... im almost positive that everybody in marilyn manson's band took a name from a celebrity and a serial killer, and john paul jones was led zep's bassist, not their singer... their singer was robert plant and their guitarist was jimmy page... got anything else stupid to say?
oh, i knew i forgot something... alice in chains' singer was layne staley (R.I.P.)...
Alright. Here we go. This song does not have a meaning to it! One of Kurts childhood friends spray painted on a wall, "Kurt Cobain Smells Like Teen Spirit". For all of you that do not know, Teen Spirit is a type of womens deodarant in the states. This was spray painted because Kurt never wore deodarant, and he decided to write a song with the words, worldwidely know as, "Smells Like Teen Spirit". The lyrics have no real meaning, he just threw together something to create a song, that's all.
@hevymetalgrl Kurt was being teased that he now smelled like Teen Spirit deodorant, which was used by the girl he was hanging around. That's why the phrase was put on the wall. He didn't know what that was and thought it sounded like a good song title.
um... hevymetalgrl, this is feed my frankenstein by alice cooper... not smells like teen spirit by nirvana... lol, must have had the wrong window up or somethin...
Hey, who spilled stupid everywhere?
@DarkenRahl I think it was the album name
Hahahahaha! DarkenRahl has both the coolest name and coolest comment here.
