My friend Aileen made a time machine, but was keen on keeping it shiny clean
To travel back in time had always been my dream
So I hatched a scheme and jacked the pod like Ween
AD 33 maybe you would see me
Telling Jesus his friend Judas was untrustworthy
You think that's fresh? Well just you wait.
I battle rap Chaucer in 1388
I tell Lincoln, in 1865, going out to plays alone is somewhat unwise
In 1963, I make JFK's day, I say 'before you go to Dallas, wear this helmet okay?'
In 2001, I make the world all right, I go back to 9/11 and cancel all flights
In my time machine, you couldn't get with me
Because E equals this squared MC

My T to the I to the M to the E,
M-A to the C-H-I-N-E,
My T to the I to the M to the E,
M-A to the C-H-I-N-E

Hey Albert Einstein! throw your hands in the air. Props on that whole, Theory of Relativity thing.

My T to the I to the M to the E,
M-A to the C-H-I-N-E,
My T to the I to the M to the E,
M-A to the C-H-I-N-E

    Can't believe no one has commented on this song yet... This is one of my favorite Lars songs: short, sweet, and really clever. By and large I don't like rap or hip-hop, but you just can't argue with a folk guitar rap song about a time machine.

    P.S. I'm going to see him in 1 week! I'm pumped!

Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
