"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.
Cuando estamos juntos
No quiero que el mundo se mueva mas
Quisiera congelarlo
Guardarlo para siempre
Asi nunca te perderia
Cuando estamos juntos
Siento colores brillando
Yo los claros
why tu los oscuros
Se mezclan why me pierdo en ti
De repente me consume una ola
De verdadera inseguridad
El amor que me abraza se disipa
why me quedo sola sin ti
Si hay calma antes de la tormenta
Temo que estamos cerca del final
Trato de entender en tus palabras
Si es que vas a huir de aqui
Como vas a huir de aqui
Como vas a dejarme asi
Cuando estamos juntos
Me llena una incertidumbre
Me creerias
Si yo te dijera
Esta locura es solo por ti
De repente me consume una ola
De verdadera inseguridad
El amor que me abraza se disipa
why me quedo sola sin ti
Si hay calma antes de la tormenta
Temo que estamos cerca del final
Trato de entenderen tus palabras
Si es que vas a huir de aqui
Si hay calma antes de la tormenta
Temo que estamos cerca del final
Trato de entender en tus palabras
Si es que vas a huir de aqui
Como vas a huir de aqui
Como vas a dejarme asi
No quiero que el mundo se mueva mas
Quisiera congelarlo
Guardarlo para siempre
Asi nunca te perderia
Cuando estamos juntos
Siento colores brillando
Yo los claros
why tu los oscuros
Se mezclan why me pierdo en ti
De repente me consume una ola
De verdadera inseguridad
El amor que me abraza se disipa
why me quedo sola sin ti
Si hay calma antes de la tormenta
Temo que estamos cerca del final
Trato de entender en tus palabras
Si es que vas a huir de aqui
Como vas a huir de aqui
Como vas a dejarme asi
Cuando estamos juntos
Me llena una incertidumbre
Me creerias
Si yo te dijera
Esta locura es solo por ti
De repente me consume una ola
De verdadera inseguridad
El amor que me abraza se disipa
why me quedo sola sin ti
Si hay calma antes de la tormenta
Temo que estamos cerca del final
Trato de entenderen tus palabras
Si es que vas a huir de aqui
Si hay calma antes de la tormenta
Temo que estamos cerca del final
Trato de entender en tus palabras
Si es que vas a huir de aqui
Como vas a huir de aqui
Como vas a dejarme asi

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
