In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Strung out - Strung out again
I'm looking for that second chance
I've reached out - I've reached out for friends
I think I know how the story ends
If this world has let ya down - Then leave it
If you're lost among the crowd - Defeated
If you can't see past your frown and cheated
You're feeling like there must be more to life than this
Face down - Face down again
Injected just below the skin
Break out - break out of this
I think I've got the itch again
If this world has let ya down - Then leave it
If you're lost among the crowd - Defeated
If you can't see past your frown and cheated
You're feeling like there must be more to life than this
If I gave it all up do you - Do you think I
Do you think I'd survive?
And if I walked right up to you should
Should I greet you?
Or should I lay down and die?
And if I came full circle with you - Would you take me?
Take me back in your life
And I tried so hard so you'd be
Proud of me, proud of me, proud of me, proud of me
Proud all the time
Proud all the time
Proud all the time
Strung outâ?¦
If this world has let ya down - Then leave it
If you're lost among the crowd - Defeated
If you can't see past your frown and cheated
You're feeling like there must be more to life than this
If this world has let ya down - Then leave it
If you're lost among the crowd - Defeated
If you can't see past your frown and cheated
You're feeling like there must be more to life than this
Strung out again
Strung out again
I'm looking for that second chance
I've reached out - I've reached out for friends
I think I know how the story ends
If this world has let ya down - Then leave it
If you're lost among the crowd - Defeated
If you can't see past your frown and cheated
You're feeling like there must be more to life than this
Face down - Face down again
Injected just below the skin
Break out - break out of this
I think I've got the itch again
If this world has let ya down - Then leave it
If you're lost among the crowd - Defeated
If you can't see past your frown and cheated
You're feeling like there must be more to life than this
If I gave it all up do you - Do you think I
Do you think I'd survive?
And if I walked right up to you should
Should I greet you?
Or should I lay down and die?
And if I came full circle with you - Would you take me?
Take me back in your life
And I tried so hard so you'd be
Proud of me, proud of me, proud of me, proud of me
Proud all the time
Proud all the time
Proud all the time
Strung outâ?¦
If this world has let ya down - Then leave it
If you're lost among the crowd - Defeated
If you can't see past your frown and cheated
You're feeling like there must be more to life than this
If this world has let ya down - Then leave it
If you're lost among the crowd - Defeated
If you can't see past your frown and cheated
You're feeling like there must be more to life than this
Strung out again
Strung out again

"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.
