Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Thrust your hand through her wave.
What was on the other side
Of the flowing blue carton?
You're most alive before you died.
If we cry underwater,
We can hide the suffering
Then go rejoice in life's splendor,
'Cause death awaits like an old friend.
So do you dance with the whirling wind?
Becoming the voice of the ring up in the air.
Do you dance with the whirling wind?
Becoming the voice of the ring beyond *earth's atmosphere / the stratosphere.*
I'm here to tell you something's lurking *from another side*
For I am longing to see *acid* onto nature.
So where are you when all the *news of this world flash unheard?*
Well tonight it seems though maybe things will go unheard.
Now there's an unheard presence.
It screams about our aliveness.
'Cause now the night is split and bleeds.
Or did it tell you to be set free?
A bullet into faceless nights.
it seems there's no place to confide.
I think I see myself in you.
Some web will only hide the truth.
We need to believe in something
'Cause everyone seems to be dying to be set free.
I'm here to tell you something's lurking *from another side*
For I am longing to see *acid* onto nature.
So where are you when all the *news of this world flash unheard?*
Well tonight it seems though maybe things will go unheard.
In life until they die
So unheard in life until they¼ until they die!
[mumbling]
I'm here to tell you something's lurking *from another side.*
For I am longing to see *acid* onto nature.
So where are you when all the *news of this world flash unheard?*
Well tonight it seems though maybe things will go unheard.
In life until they die
So unheard in life until they¼ until they die!

"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.

@[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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Best song off the CD. Definately the best chorus I've heard from BHC.
