The song (Theme From) Carjack Fever by Harvey Danger describes a wild, chaotic journey through a city that is filled with strange and dangerous characters. The lyrics describe different characters, such as a man who can take apart an engine and a woman who wears barrettes of many colors in her hair, and their various attitudes and struggles. The song also touches on themes of rebellion, desperation, and the feeling of being trapped in a life of crime or disillusionment. The chorus emphasizes the idea that despite all of the chaos and confusion, people always know what state they are in, both literally and figuratively. Overall, the song paints a vivid picture of a city that is both exhilarating and terrifying, and the characters who inhabit it.
