"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.
Two tablespoons of cinnamon and two or three egg whites
A half a stick of butter melted
Stick it all in a bowl baby, stir it with a wooden spoon
Mix in a cup of flour, you'll be in heaven soon
Say everybody have you seen my balls
They're big and salty and brown
If you ever need a quick pick me up
Just stick my balls in your mouth
Ooh, suck on my chocolate salted balls
Stick 'em in your mouth, and suck em
Suck on my chocolate salted balls
They're packed full of vitamins and good for you
So suck on my balls
Quarter cup of unsweetened chocolate and a half a cup of brandy
Then throw in a bag or two of sugar and just a pinch of vanilla
Grease up the cookie sheet cause I hate when my balls stick
Then preheat the oven to three fifty and give that spoon a lick
Say everybody have you seen my balls
They're big and salty and brown
If you ever need a quick pick me up
Just stick my balls in your mouth
Suck on my chocolate salted balls (suck 'em now)
Put 'em in your mouth, and suck em
Suck on my chocolate salted balls
They're packed full of goodness, high in fiber
Suck on my balls
Hey, wait a minute, what's that smell
Smell like something burning
Well, that don't confront me now
Long as I get my rent paid on Friday
Baby you better get back in the kitchen
Cause I got a sneakin' suspicion
Oh man baby, baby, you just burned my balls!
Come, my balls on fire
Have mercy baby, my balls are burning
Give me some water, pour some water on me
My balls are burning, oh my goodness
I'm blowin' I'm blowin' them, do something
Ooh, suck on my chocolate salted balls (suck F 'em now)
Put 'em in your mouth and suck 'em, they're on fire baby
Suck on my chocolate salted balls (suck 'em now)
Put 'em out baby, blow 'em
Oh, suck on my balls baby, suck on my balls baby
Suck on my red hot salted chocolate balls
Come on baby, woo, woo, suck on my balls
A half a stick of butter melted
Stick it all in a bowl baby, stir it with a wooden spoon
Mix in a cup of flour, you'll be in heaven soon
Say everybody have you seen my balls
They're big and salty and brown
If you ever need a quick pick me up
Just stick my balls in your mouth
Ooh, suck on my chocolate salted balls
Stick 'em in your mouth, and suck em
Suck on my chocolate salted balls
They're packed full of vitamins and good for you
So suck on my balls
Quarter cup of unsweetened chocolate and a half a cup of brandy
Then throw in a bag or two of sugar and just a pinch of vanilla
Grease up the cookie sheet cause I hate when my balls stick
Then preheat the oven to three fifty and give that spoon a lick
Say everybody have you seen my balls
They're big and salty and brown
If you ever need a quick pick me up
Just stick my balls in your mouth
Suck on my chocolate salted balls (suck 'em now)
Put 'em in your mouth, and suck em
Suck on my chocolate salted balls
They're packed full of goodness, high in fiber
Suck on my balls
Hey, wait a minute, what's that smell
Smell like something burning
Well, that don't confront me now
Long as I get my rent paid on Friday
Baby you better get back in the kitchen
Cause I got a sneakin' suspicion
Oh man baby, baby, you just burned my balls!
Come, my balls on fire
Have mercy baby, my balls are burning
Give me some water, pour some water on me
My balls are burning, oh my goodness
I'm blowin' I'm blowin' them, do something
Ooh, suck on my chocolate salted balls (suck F 'em now)
Put 'em in your mouth and suck 'em, they're on fire baby
Suck on my chocolate salted balls (suck 'em now)

Oh, suck on my balls baby, suck on my balls baby
Suck on my red hot salted chocolate balls
Come on baby, woo, woo, suck on my balls

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."

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
