"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.
Fama tunes into agasaya
Aura like amberella
Ama is my govinda
All in time (all in time)
All is mine (all in time)
Fachea anima interstellar
Hidden in logorrhoea
She is an amatia
All in time
All in time
All in mine
Fama turns into agasaya
Elijah electra
I live to enlight ya
All in time
Aura like amberella
Ama is my govinda
All in time (all in time)
All is mine (all in time)
Fachea anima interstellar
Hidden in logorrhoea
She is an amatia
All in time
All in time
All in mine
Fama turns into agasaya
Elijah electra
I live to enlight ya
All in 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”
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
I don't really know what this song is about, but I think 'Agasaya', 'Amberella' and 'Govinda' are goddesses.
Lori Barbero has a tattoo of this number. Maybe inspiration for the title. Other than that, I don't really know what it's about.
Fama was a Greek/Roman goddess of rumors.
Agasya was a Semitic goddess of war who was later integrated into becoming the war aspect of Isthar.
Amberella was human but was granted immortality by the Prince of the Seas and became his wife.
Aura was aslo a Greek/Roman goddess. Ama is a creator goddess from modern day Nigeria. Govinda is another name for Vishnu Fachea - is an Irish goddess of poetry Anima - In the psycholigy of Jung it is the feminine part of the male mind. Outside of Jung it has been used to describe the soul.
That being said, I am not sure if there is actually a point to the song.
