The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Agazapo un lamento, me salgo del cuento, cuento...¿Cómo es que entré al cuento? no comprendo el lamento, no entiendo, no entiendo cómo es que me alimento.
Cuando entro al cuento me pongo violento, lento... como voy hacia adentro, cuando pienso o siento, siendo lo que pienso, cuento... continúa sacudiendo.
Si es que la locura afecta sin indiferencia, entra, pega, sacude la esfera, si es que la conciencia recta, cada simple idea, entra, pega, piensa lo que quieras. Irás a imaginar, pero no duermes, siente... cómo el ritmo se detiene, si persigo el blanco, viento en lo alto, flanco... cómo es que aguanto tanto. Irás a imaginar....
Cuando entro al cuento me pongo violento, lento... cómo voy a hacia adentro, cuando pienso o siento, siento lo que pienso, cuento... continua sacudiendo. La neta si que vuelas cada vez que te bloqueas, loco, pero tan sólo un poco, vuelas y te revuelcas y empiezas a dar mil vueltas, tranquilo es sólo mientras entras, neta?...cual triste marioneta.
Si es que la condena sienta como complacencia, riega, pega, sacude la tierra, si es que la locura afecta sin indiferencia, vas primero, soy el mero mero. Irás a imaginar, pero no duermes, temes... cómo el mundo se sostiene, si persigo el blanco, viento en lo alto, flanco... cómo es que aguanto tanto. Irás a imaginar....

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.
