So there’s this kid called Donnie Darko, he’s a schizophrenic teen
And this aeroplane engine falls through his roof and lands where he’s just been
But it’s cool cos he’s out sleepwalking – as is his habit
Engaged in apocalyptic discourse with this freaky six-foot rabbit

You see our Donnie on reality doesn’t have a firm hold
The rabbit teaches him about time travel and wormholes
He burns down Patrick Swayze’s house cos the rabbit tells him to
He shags a chick called Gretchen and the rabbit shows him what to do
They throw a wicked Halloween party, with 80’s tunes and beer
Then they hop on their bikes and ride through the night and that’s when things get weird

The rabbit’s drunk behind the wheel, and Gretchen cops a car-full
So Donnie takes out his gun and shoots the rabbit through the eyeball
Then he carries his girlfriend’s body up the hill above his town
And watches as the parallel universe he’s been living in tumbles down

Then using telekinesis he rips an engine off this plane
And is sucked back through the wormhole and he’s back at the beginning again
So when the jet comes through the ceiling, he’s tucked up in his bed
And life is back to normal, except that Donnie Darko’s dead

This film’s an examination of time and space and psychosis
And a very good example of why they developed myxomatosis

Fast Car
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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
