"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.D.G.A.F. [x2]
I do what I want
I say what I want
I get what I want
And I take what I want
I'm royalty bitch
Never gave a shit
Relationships
Fuck that shit
I don't wanna flip
When I see you with a dude
Another jealous mess
That ain't cool
Rave it like you were on x
You can be my BFF
Flash me your big ole breast
Show me what your working with
Straight to the hips
Up on your tits

Perfect!
I love the way that you

Work it!
Just work it!

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
To everyone saying that Dahvie Vanity is a rapist piece of shit:
Kudos. Keep it up, fight the good fight.
To the fangirls who think that's impossible and couldn't be true:
Two options exist. He'll get to you eventually, or you were just too ugly.
Technically speaking, he is not a rapist. Statutory rape just means you had consensual sex with an underage person. Like it or not, a lot of bands sleep with groupies and most groupies are underage. I believe he has had sex with underage people before, but I'd believe it of almost any band. I'm not condoning what he's doing by any means, but I feel it's unfair to focus on him alone when 1. lots of other bands do it too and 2. in a lot of cases, you can't tell by looking how old someone is; I'm almost 18 and look about 14, and I know 13-year-olds who look 20. One last point: Dahvie vanity is NOT a "pedophile." He is an ephebophile, someone who is attracted to late teenagers. A "pedophile" by definition is someone who is attracted to prepubescent children, which Dahvie clearly is not.
heck , if he did sleep with a young teen, she prob begged for it
