Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
新宿のカメラ屋さんの
階段を下りた茶店は
ジッポの油とクリーム
あんたの台詞が香った
云ったでしょ?「俺を殺して」
今日は特別に笑って
ばかりのあたしは丁度
さっき一度夢で死んだ
あんたを仕方無く愛す
どうか 見捨てたりしないで
洗って 切って 水の中
呼吸器官は冒される
あたしが完全に乾くの
いまきちんと見届けて
磨いて 裂いて 水の中
無重力に委される
あたしが完全に溶けたら
すぐきちんと召し上がれ
あんたが目の前で絶えて
嗚咽を止められなかった
何だか浮世の全て
恋しくて堪らなかった
Oh, do not make me have those
kind of dreams again.
A scent so sweet that it
got me dirty.
The troops to protect
me were out on patrol.
Please watch me closely
and do check to see
I dry out completely,
I dry through and through.
A lie so big that it
got me dirty.
As soon as I said it,
a wound opened up.
And when I do melt
down entirely,
immediately eat my everything.
You said it did not you?
"Just do it, kill me"
So wash me, cut me,
I amunderwater.
My lungs and breathing are
quite affected.
Please watch me closely
and do check to see
I dry out completely,
I dry through and through.
Come shine me, tear me.
I am underwater,
relying completely on
zero gravity.
And when I do melt down
entirely,
immediately eat my everything.
...Bon appetit...
I am not afraid of a
little boredom
Why did the two of them ever
chance to meet?
I am not afraid of a
little boredom
Why did the two of them ever
chance to meet?

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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Standing On The Edge Of Summer

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.
I feel like this has a lot to do with loving someone, and how that relates to the vastness of the rest of the world.
She says that meeting this person was complete happenstance, and the feeling to them was so powerful they said, "Just do it, kill me." And to her, she valued the world and everything around her so much, and she still does ("all of the little things of this little world/are so very dear to me it hurts to think of them"), but now she has to deal with the incredible attraction she has to this person. Yet, she's still willing to bear all of herself to them, and become completely vulnerable (the wash me/cut me verses). It's a very deep, all-consuming ("i'm underwater"), spiritual sort of love that's happening.
She acknowledges all of this, but even still, at the end of the song, I feel like the love she felt frightened her. She tells the world, "I'm not afraid of a little boredom. I didn't need to meet this person."
I get chills every time I hear this song.
