"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.
Oh no, my heart is getting heavy,
Was I was forward?
I kinda had the feeling that it's over,
But know I know that I'm crazy (i think that I'm going nowhere)
So scream loud and look at me way down,
I know that you're afraid,
I'll hold you close and never, ever let you go
Up and down
You spin me around
You got everybody watchin' as you hit the ground
So take a step back
You know I'm there
Oh god can you save me now?
Enough Vallium to fill this room
It's kinda hard when I'm dead right?
It's kinda hard when I'm dead
Oh love you got me crazy feen'n
Like it's nothing that I could've wanted
Take it slowly and maybe you'll know I'm ready
We can get over it
Scenery is nothin' more than poetry
Hotter than two lovers cumming next to me
I know
Up and down
You spin me around
You got everybody watchin' as you hit the ground
So take a step back
You know I'm there
(You know) up and down
You spin me around
You got everybody watchin' as you hit the ground
So take a step back
You know I'm there
(Why are you leaving)
Please don't go
Stay with me
Come on breathe
You gotta find a way
You and I got our whole lives ahead of us
We turned you can we turn you on?
I hope heaven needs you more
More than I need you now
You know I love you
Was I was forward?
I kinda had the feeling that it's over,
But know I know that I'm crazy (i think that I'm going nowhere)
So scream loud and look at me way down,
I know that you're afraid,
I'll hold you close and never, ever let you go
Up and down
You spin me around
You got everybody watchin' as you hit the ground
So take a step back
You know I'm there
Oh god can you save me now?
Enough Vallium to fill this room
It's kinda hard when I'm dead right?
It's kinda hard when I'm dead
Oh love you got me crazy feen'n
Like it's nothing that I could've wanted
Take it slowly and maybe you'll know I'm ready
We can get over it
Scenery is nothin' more than poetry
Hotter than two lovers cumming next to me
I know
Up and down
You spin me around
You got everybody watchin' as you hit the ground
So take a step back
You know I'm there
(You know) up and down
You spin me around
You got everybody watchin' as you hit the ground
So take a step back
You know I'm there
(Why are you leaving)
Please don't go
Stay with me
Come on breathe
You gotta find a way
You and I got our whole lives ahead of us
We turned you can we turn you on?
I hope heaven needs you more
More than I need you now
You know I love you

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”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
