He certainly did earn that reputation.
She's got me going, crazy out of control.
Something has taken a hold of me. I can't keep hiding.
Girl, I want you to know that I want you and it's plain to see.
Tell me what to do, tell me how it is, or how it could be.
I've been trying to figure some things out, but i'll never know.
I don't even want to think about it.
The way she lies, and flaunts her thighs.
Changes my mind, I don't even want to think about it.
The things she says, the signs I read, lays in my bed.
I don't even want to think about it.
I can't stop thinking bout the way that she moves.
Or how she brushes up against me, something about her that gets me all confused.
Keeps bringing me back down to my knees, thoughts of you in my head.
I am restless, but can't say.
So please tell me.
Her touch, her feel.
The love she steals, but I still deal.
I don't even want to think about it.
The things she says, stays in my head.
Caught up again, I don't even want to think about it.
I'd give anything to be with you.

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Techno Ted
Audioslave
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.
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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Ahhh-mazing song.
About a guy who has been totally seduced by a woman who he knows that being with her would be like a snowball in hell, so he tries to ignore it the best he can.
