"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.
You're a slave to my long eyelashes
You're not crank but you're an agony
Loving me is iridescent conflictions,
Poor thing, I know you're hungry.
'Cause I'm fresh meat and vintage Dior
Stealing from the rich and giving Gucci to the poor
I've got advice for you
I've got everything you need
You know if you wanna be thin
You shouldn't eat anything but fresh meat
Fresh meat
Fresh meat
Fresh meat
I'm a walking weapon and a shot gun shag and
I'm a butcher's masterpiece
Dance bitch, trip the lights - fantastic
Split my skin, make me bleed
'Cause I'm fresh meat and vintage Dior
Stealing from the rich and giving Gucci to the poor
I've got advice for you
I've got everything you need
You know if you wanna be thin
You shouldn't eat anything but fresh meat
Fresh meat
Fresh meat
Fresh meat
Bake me, eat me, throw me up
Buy me, touch me, I'm a fuck-up
Entertain me, carve me up
Penetrate my heart
'Cause I'm fresh meat and vintage Dior
Stealing from the rich and giving Gucci to the poor
I've got advice for you
I've got everything you need
You know if you wanna be thin
You shouldn't eat anything but fresh meat
Fresh meat
Fresh meat
Fresh meat
You're not crank but you're an agony
Loving me is iridescent conflictions,
Poor thing, I know you're hungry.
'Cause I'm fresh meat and vintage Dior
Stealing from the rich and giving Gucci to the poor
I've got advice for you
I've got everything you need
You know if you wanna be thin
You shouldn't eat anything but fresh meat
Fresh meat
Fresh meat
Fresh meat
I'm a walking weapon and a shot gun shag and
I'm a butcher's masterpiece
Dance bitch, trip the lights - fantastic
Split my skin, make me bleed
'Cause I'm fresh meat and vintage Dior
Stealing from the rich and giving Gucci to the poor
I've got advice for you
I've got everything you need
You know if you wanna be thin
You shouldn't eat anything but fresh meat
Fresh meat
Fresh meat
Fresh meat
Bake me, eat me, throw me up
Buy me, touch me, I'm a fuck-up
Entertain me, carve me up
Penetrate my heart
'Cause I'm fresh meat and vintage Dior
Stealing from the rich and giving Gucci to the poor
I've got advice for you
I've got everything you need
You know if you wanna be thin
You shouldn't eat anything but fresh meat
Fresh meat
Fresh meat
Fresh meat

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
You're a slave to my long eyelashes. You're not cranked but you're in agony. Loving me is iridescent confliction. Poor thing, I know you're hungry. Cuz I'm fresh meat, in vintage Dior. Stealing from the rich, giving Gucci to the poor. I've got advice for you: I've got everything you need. You know if you want to be thin you shouldn't eat anything but fresh meat. I'm a...a walking weapon in a shotgun shack and I'm a butcher's masterpiece. Dance bitch, trip the light, fantastic. Split my skin and make me bleed. [Chorus] Bake me, eat me, throw me up. Buy me, touch me I'm a screw up. Entertain me, carve me up... Penetrate my heart.
