"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.
[Intro]
Doors up
[Hook: RiFF RAFF]
I8 doors up higher than a robin
Break them boys off with a fresh pair of Robins
A fresh pair of Robins
Break them boys off with a fresh pair of Robins
I8 doors up higher than a robin
Break them boys off with a fresh pair of Robins
I keep a fresh pair of Robins
Break them boys off with a fresh pair of Robins
[Verse 1: RiFF RAFF]
Jumped out the Derrick Rose then I strike a pose
Robin wings on me, I'm fresh head to toe
It takes a lot of detail and precision
You wouldn't understand cause you ain't in my division
We don't have the same vision, that's why you ain't my competition
Two ears and one mouth, that's why you need to listen
More than you talk, Silver Surfer J-walk
Gas pack global, talking on my T-Mobile
Keep my syrup in me soda as I smell like [?]
Thunder storm denim with the Robin jean emblem
RiFF... It's RiFF
[Hook: RiFF RAFF]

Break them boys off with a fresh pair of Robins
[Verse 2: DollaBillGates]
Fourteen foreign cars, eenie-minie-moe
Ten pair of [?] jeans fresh up out the store
I put the pressure on 'em, smoking pressure with my woe
I keep my bitches fly, I bought some Robins for my hoes
[?] doors up higher than [?]
[?] then my outfit is illegal
I'm hopping out the Bimmer, I'm rocking handmade features
Robin with the [?] thousand dollars [?]
Robins with the [?] Alexander Green
Old school Chevelle, same size as Lil Wayne
Zippers on my pockets, I secure the bag
I ate already but I'll still pay the tab

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
