"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.
I was once a man before I transformed
Into this molester, freshly deceased children
You have born, torn by my rape
The dead are not safe, the lifeless child corpse
I will violate
Pleasure from the dead, complete satisfaction
I open the coffin
Sick thoughts run through my head as I stare
At the dead, over and over, I can't escape
I begin the dead sex, licking her young, rotted orifice
I cum in her cold cunt, shivering with ecstasy
For nine days straight I do the same
She becomes by dead, decayed child sex slave
Her neck I hack, cutting through the back
I use her mouth to eject
Here I cum, blood gushes from
Bleeding black blood
Her head disconnected
As I came, viciously I cut, through her jugular vein
She's already dead, I masturbate with her severed head
My lubrication, her decomposition
Spending my life molesting dead children
Intercourse with infants
Curing heads on top of spikes
Boiling skulls
Skin sliding off of bones
Voices
The voices call
Voices
The voices are calling me
Buried dead I've spiritually infected
Call to me from beyond their graves
Bleed
I now bleed pus
I bleed, the blood of the dead
I bleed on her livid skin
Thrusting myself within
Beginning to chop through her hairless crotch
Beyond what we know as death
It haunts me everyday
I hear the voice of every child
That lies next to me decayed
A fresh corpse, to fill with my infection
Tortured before death, no orifice left unfilled
Violated after death
Virgin hole I infest
Anal pore spewing cess
The sacred juice I ingest
Your dead child I defile
Necropedophile
Into this molester, freshly deceased children
You have born, torn by my rape
The dead are not safe, the lifeless child corpse
I will violate
Pleasure from the dead, complete satisfaction
I open the coffin
Sick thoughts run through my head as I stare
At the dead, over and over, I can't escape
I begin the dead sex, licking her young, rotted orifice
I cum in her cold cunt, shivering with ecstasy
For nine days straight I do the same
She becomes by dead, decayed child sex slave
Her neck I hack, cutting through the back
I use her mouth to eject
Here I cum, blood gushes from
Bleeding black blood
Her head disconnected
As I came, viciously I cut, through her jugular vein
She's already dead, I masturbate with her severed head
My lubrication, her decomposition
Spending my life molesting dead children
Intercourse with infants
Curing heads on top of spikes
Boiling skulls
Skin sliding off of bones
Voices
The voices call
Voices
The voices are calling me
Buried dead I've spiritually infected
Call to me from beyond their graves
Bleed
I now bleed pus
I bleed, the blood of the dead
I bleed on her livid skin
Thrusting myself within
Beginning to chop through her hairless crotch
Beyond what we know as death
It haunts me everyday
I hear the voice of every child
That lies next to me decayed
A fresh corpse, to fill with my infection
Tortured before death, no orifice left unfilled
Violated after death
Virgin hole I infest
Anal pore spewing cess
The sacred juice I ingest
Your dead child I defile
Necropedophile

The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
its so beautiful, sometimes i feel like i want to cry when i read this, when i do my mouth waters, my skin tingles sometimes i roll my eyes into the back of my head and i can actually feel the tip of my prick violating the crevice of fresh dead.

SARCASM BEGIN. This song is clearly an allegory to our economy and government. We're like the little and we're getting fucked by the government and our consumerist only serve to perpetuate the endless cycle of baby-fucking. SARCASM END.
"Endless cycle of baby-fucking" I can relate so much to that as a baby-fucker myself. I think we should all do something to stop this tyranny from the government.
these kind of songs are so funny, I get a laugh everytime I listen to it. I used to think it was sick, but if you're enraged it's a very good listening. And the last lines are great...
Cannibal Corpse is a great band. To all those people who slander them and complain about the lyrics I have one question for you. Why are you even looking at them? You obviously don't like things that are associated with this band so why would you go look up lyrics for a band called "Cannibal Corpse"? Oh that's right you only bitched about something twenty - nine times today lets make it an even thirty. Please.
Nothing beats a good gore lyric like this one.
As everybody says, they don't mean all this stuff.
But don't you agree that people should use respect and judgement before writing songs or making statements like this?
Regardless if it is not to be taken seriously, do you believe that it is wrong? That people shouldn't discuss sodomizing a dead child? If you don't think that, then we are not on the same level.
If you don't get outraged by this, then people accept it.
And also, I called you a fag because you lashed out and called me a "fucking retard". There's no reason that in a debate you should lash out and call names. It doesn't prove your case.
Also, movies. This is totally different because usually there is a story. Usually with a lesson. There is a difference between showing graphic violence just for graphic violence and showing it to prove a point. A Clockwork Orange, perfect example.
But this is just gross out for the sake of seeming "brutal". If a movie ever did this, there would be theatres that refuse to show it. Its not right. And if you can't agree with me on that one, then there is no way to debate with you.
Actually, I take that back. They are decent. I put them at the lowest level of decency. I heard worse, but these guys aren't good. Not to mention the lyrics are shit. Shock value is alright and understandable, but what kind of sick fucks think of this kind of stuff in the first place?
I think I'll chime in on this subject. Has to be said, I love death metal and I love Cannibal Corpse, I don't see how people look at the lyrics and jump to the conclusion "oh. the band sucks, no talent there" if you're making this kind of comment then you are seriously misguided. As far as talent goes, fine I will concede, Necropedophile isn't all that great, however this is earlier Cannibal Corpse material, the band weren't as proficient, but if we come up to date with CC I'd point you in the direction of a song called "Frantic Disembowelment" not pretty lyrics (aww what a shame for you fucking MTV poncers) but the music is INSANE, I can tell you as a a musician myself that some of what CC writes is straight up REALLY hard to play, but again im sure some of you, being the virtuoso musicians that you clearly must be to make such comements, will still say its easy and that death metal on the whole is easy, so let me give you some examples of bands that might just fulfill your need for technical supremacy, for a start Necrophagist and Nile, incredible speed and accuracy in playing, for non death metal technicality, Between the Buried and Me, Sikth, and a band called Psyopus (find the song "Insects") any musicians in the aforementioned bands would be hard to beat by a lot of players in their fields, not only is the drumming fast but due to Death Metal's often progressive leanings complex time signiature changes and polyrhythms come into play, the guitar and bass playing is often virtuoso level or very close to that. The vocals I can't defend as such, but thats a matter of preference, I for one was never able to stand death vocals but I grew accustomed to it after prolonged listening, and NOT all DM bands write just gore lyrics, CC do so because they feel totally without and argument that brutal music needs brutal and unforgiving lyrics, end of. It is not the be all and end all of DM, for example, Nile base their lyrics solely on Egyptian mythology and history (occasionally with a slightly Lovecraftian stance), Decapitated deal with Nihilism, insanity etc, Behemoth take a slightly more "spiritual" approach (after having originally been a black metal band). I just hope that this will make you think twice about reading some unpleasant lyrics (and yes I would say these are unpleasant, in fact, probably the worst CC has written, the vast majority of the material is nowhere near this edgy in subject matter) but it seems sometimes that people look at one set of disgusting lyrics and make blanket statements about the genre as a whole, sorry but to anyone who really knows anything about extreme music you come off as an idiot, because there are plenty of bands out there who make this music, in fact more extreme music than this without ever touching the gore-fest side of the lyrics. I hope this may have been a little enlightening for you.
Your Comment is one of the finest and well though out comments i have ever read<br /> <br /> Hats off to you sir!
octobersnackbar, listen up: your opinion means shit to the people here. We don't give a shit about you putting people in little boxes and bashing them, because (most of us) understand that labels don't fit people as easily as all that. Those of us who have brains and realise that stating your narrow minded opinion on a songmeanings forum is gonna get you nowhere.
I know I'm being incredibly hypocritical - but I can't fucking stand labellers >:O
This comment goes out to all of the people who complain about CC. ITS DEATH METAL! THE LYRICS DONT MATTER! IF THEY DID, THEN YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO HEAR THEM! GOD DAMN!
