"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'm obnoxious
I'm flowing crazy, I need to stop this
Don't knock this
You nigga's lazy y'all need to watch this
Preposterous
If you can fathem how you can block this
My phantom was seen on candler
You ride the transit
No options you niggas can't act like y'all forgot this I'm tired
But switch ya flow up it's so monotonous it's my metropolis
I'll drop a 12 on ya so colossus!
My swag plus my drop top yellow jag why they gossip
I'm the nigga upload your twitter bitch I'm the topic
Profess it but
Gucci didn't graduate from college
Your girlfriend say's my ear rings are erotic
My lambo doors open upward they're robotic it's Gucci
Gorilla goons with the tool down to act a fool
Birds in the living room it's like Atlanta zoo
Lions, tigers, minks crocs and gators for my shoes
Monkey nigga's in my hood I'm living in the zoo
Birds in the living room and the kitchen too
I'm a tiger in the bedroom ask your baby boo
I got lions, tigers, bears in my hood and closet too
But my gun can stop an elephant just like Atlanta zoo (Gucci)
Drop beam
Off set things color ice cream
White dreams
She can fuck me that's a pipe dream
S-O poppin' x-pills so exciting
My ex chick n ex homeboy uninvited
Cases of ace of spade bitch getcha wasted
The waitress I made her reloaded like the matrix
I lean laid with a bad bitch black n' Asian
On 20 headed to buckhead I'm racing baby
But take that fake jewelery off that shit is fugasey
You think that you're hotter than the kid you're mistaken
Real n you nigga's really really good at faken
So trill I'm a keep it real I'm back to the basics
Gorilla goons with the tool down to act a fool
Birds in the living room it's like Atlanta zoo
Lions, tigers, minks crocs and gators for my shoes
Monkey niggas in my hood I'm living in the zoo
Birds in the living room and the kitchen too
I'm a tiger in the bedroom ask your baby boo
I got lions, tigers, bears in my hood and closet too
But my gun can stop an elephant just like Atlanta zoo (Gucci)
Heads up
My partner stashin' bricks up on his roof top
Whole key, half a key, quarter key
Gucci got more quarters than a motherfuckin' jukebox
Pop-pop hear the glock cock
And I gotta Colt 45 like Billy D
Semi automatic that I keep up in the attic in shank
That shape like Tennessee (ugh!)
I cut ya
I cut ya til the white meat
And my partner pushin' more crack than a bike seat
I smoke the best I get my dro' from California
Get high n go to sleep you couldn't wake me from a coma
I might wake up if these rappers got beef I smell the aroma
But these niggas ain't got no heart not even if they had a doner
I roam the streets so who the fuck is YOU
Southside Collipark king of the jungle my name is Ludacris living in Atlanta zoo
Gorilla goons with the tool down to act a fool
Birds in the living room it's like Atlanta zoo
Lions, tigers, minks crocs and gators for my shoes
Monkey nigga's in my hood I'm living in the zoo
Birds in the living room and the kitchen too
I'm a tiger in the bedroom ask your baby boo
I got lions, tigers, bears in my hood and closet too
But my gun can stop an elephant just like Atlanta zoo (gucci)
I'm flowing crazy, I need to stop this

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
