"Race for the Prize" (1999) by the Flaming Lips

The theme of this song is that when racing after something you really want, never give up. The music is upbeat and is in a major key; it seems almost hopeful. The lyrics talk about how the scientists are trying to better the world for humans. Even if it kills them, they will do whatever they can-even if they are only human. They will die trying to help the world, but it's worth it. It creates a tone that, more or less, latches you onto the song and focuses you on the lyrics of the song. When it is important and there exists a dream worth running after, don't give up and do everything you can to make that dream happen; this is message the song is trying to portray to its audience.
