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.
Take a look around at all the shit that's going down
And maybe you all fucking realize how far we haven't come
Challenging the limits of what's explicit and inhuman this shit in your face Straight to the point and you can't fucking stop it.
It never ceases to amaze me,
What the fuck they'll do for money
No mother fucking dignity
A piece of shit subordinate is all you'll fucking ever be
Forced oral sex until you fucking vomit numerous deafening blows to your fucking head what keeps you coming back for more punishment a choke hold on your neck beating your fucking ass from bad to worse to pure fucking shit is where this world is fucking headed
It never eases to amaze me,
What a cunt will do for money,
I watch you get brutality fucked,
It's not enough
I hope he beats you - I hope he beats you
I hope he beats you - I hope he beats you
I hope he beats you - I hope he beats you
I hope he beats you - I hope he beats you
Your pleasure means nothing your pain is everything how much can you take what your breaking point my sexual preference is sexual violence, your agony the fucking intent
She's so goddamn beautiful
All I want you to do
Is smash her fucking face in
Treat her like the cunt she is
Your fucking nothing - Your fucking nothing
Your fucking nothing - Your fucking nothing
I hope he beats you - I hope he beats you
I hope he beats you - I hope he beats... you
Forced oral sex until you fucking vomit, numerous deafening blows to your fucking head
From bad to worse to pure fucking shit is where this world is fucking headed
And maybe you all fucking realize how far we haven't come
Challenging the limits of what's explicit and inhuman this shit in your face Straight to the point and you can't fucking stop it.
It never ceases to amaze me,
What the fuck they'll do for money
No mother fucking dignity
A piece of shit subordinate is all you'll fucking ever be
Forced oral sex until you fucking vomit numerous deafening blows to your fucking head what keeps you coming back for more punishment a choke hold on your neck beating your fucking ass from bad to worse to pure fucking shit is where this world is fucking headed
It never eases to amaze me,
What a cunt will do for money,
I watch you get brutality fucked,
It's not enough
I hope he beats you - I hope he beats you
I hope he beats you - I hope he beats you
I hope he beats you - I hope he beats you
I hope he beats you - I hope he beats you
Your pleasure means nothing your pain is everything how much can you take what your breaking point my sexual preference is sexual violence, your agony the fucking intent
She's so goddamn beautiful
All I want you to do
Is smash her fucking face in
Treat her like the cunt she is
Your fucking nothing - Your fucking nothing
Your fucking nothing - Your fucking nothing
I hope he beats you - I hope he beats you
I hope he beats you - I hope he beats... you
Forced oral sex until you fucking vomit, numerous deafening blows to your fucking head
From bad to worse to pure fucking shit is where this world is fucking headed

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.
