Feeling, I've been lost for years
You could never understand me
Unless you've seen those tears
But you never get to sleep
When I'm away
I don't mind
The deeper that you lay
Out of time

[Chorus:]

Pain
I can't sleep
Pain
I can't sleep

Running
Running from those days
There's another one inside me
Guess I've gone insane
But you always run away when I come around
I don't mind
The day I'll track you down
Run you down

Don't stop!
Don't talk!
Do not fuck!
With me!

Loaded
I've loaded up this gun
There's a killer in me
Hoping
Hope that you're the one
But you always run away
When I'm around
I don't mind
The day I'll track you down
And terrify!

    I remember years ago thinking I needed to check out Four Star Mary because of Buffy and Dingoes Ate My Baby! :) But I had forgotten until I bought the Buffy album a few months ago (I know...I'm slow) because I had been watching all the dvds again and suddenly had this urge to listen to bands from the late 90s. lol.

    Great song!!

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.

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”
