"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.

(So hard to find your love)
I've been trynna find your love
So baby I am stuck
I’ve been trynna find your love
I'm about to give up
Baby it was perfect timing
We were trying (Trying)
And then I started rising
And you declining (Declining)
Why you acting like you foolish
Thought you knew this
Guess i wasn’t who you wished
Feeling useless (Useless)
Cause baby I was working for you (For you)
For the future that we both having soon
I’ve been feeling so alone lately
And im feeling like our love is fading
Said i cheated what are you even saying
Cause you should know these games I’m not playing
Girl i'm sorry I ain't perfect
But you should know im worth it
I fell in love (Yuh)
But i didn’t deserve this (No)
I've been trynna find your love
So baby I am stuck
I’ve been trynna find your love
I'm about to give up
(I've been trynna find your love, yuh yuh)
(So hard to find your love)
I've been trynna find your love
So baby I am stuck
I’ve been trynna find your love
I'm about to give up
Baby it was perfect timing
We were trying (Trying)
And then I started rising
And you declining (Declining)
Why you acting like you foolish
Thought you knew this
Guess i wasn’t who you wished
Feeling useless (Useless)
Cause baby I was working for you (For you)
For the future that we both having soon
I’ve been feeling so alone lately
And im feeling like our love is fading
Said i cheated what are you even saying
Cause you should know these games I’m not playing
Girl i'm sorry I ain't perfect
But you should know im worth it
I fell in love (Yuh)
But i didn’t deserve this (No)
I've been trynna find your love
So baby I am stuck
I’ve been trynna find your love
I'm about to give up
(I've been trynna find your love, yuh yuh)

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical

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.
