"Race for the Prize" (1999) Flaming Lips

The theme of this song is that sometimes one is so determined to achieve something that one does extreaordinary things in order to achieve them. Although it may be hard at times, it's possible. This theme is supported throughout the song. Listening to it, the strong lead guitar gives me a sense of hope. There's a lot of different chords and sounds, which supports how hard it may be. However, it's not just the musical elements that build on this theme. Lyrical evidence throughout the song adds to it as well. "Theirs is to win, if it kills them. They're just humans."
