"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.
Houkiboshi ga, yukisaki wo yubisashite egakareta WONDER PLANET
Suddenly, necessarily, I begin to find yourself
Feel me, come with us, The night sky is shining in the blu planet.
But the space is so vast, I don't look away from youre eyes
You don't need to worry!
Kimi to iu taiuou ga moeru kara boku wa ikiteiru
I will not regret, no matter what might happen from now on
I will not regret, no matter what you wish, what you hope
In the Blue Planet
Doushite todokanai konna ni hashitteru no ni
Nagai, nagai ginga tetsudou no notte
Ama no kawa sae mo senro no michishirube ni natte kimi wo oikaketeru
Anytime, anywhere, I think about you
Aoi hoshi de kimi wo mitsukete yo
Houkiboshi ga, yukisaki wo, yubisashite yondekureta kara
Koukai wa nai you, nani ga okite, nani wo nakushite mo
Tatoe ashita ga nakutatte aoi hoshi de mata meguriaou? Blue planet.
Aoi hoshi de

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical

Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
