"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.
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life if you've ever known anyone
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow
How do you sleep when you live with your lies
Out of your mouth, up from your mind
That kind of thinking starts a chain reaction
You are a time bomb ticking away
Need to release what you're feeling inside
Let out the beast that you're trying to hide
Step right up and be a part of the action
Go get your game face on because it's time to play
You're pushing and fighting your way
You're ripping it up
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life if you've ever known anyone
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life if you've ever known anyone
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow
How do you live without playing the game
Sit on the side and expect to keep sane?
Step right up and be a part of the action
Come get a piece of it before it's too late
Take a look around, you can't deny what you see
We're living in a violent society
Well, my brother, let me show you a better way
Get your game face on because it's time to play
You're pushing and fighting your way
You're ripping it up
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life if you've ever known anyone
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life if you've ever known anyone
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow
Tell me, what am I supposed to be?
Another goddamn drone?
Tell me, what am I supposed to be?
Should I leave it on the inside?
Tell me, what am I supposed to be?
Another goddamn drone?
Tell me, what am I supposed to be?
Shouldn't I get ready to play?
You're pushing and fighting your way
You're ripping it up
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life if you've ever known anyone
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life if you've ever known anyone
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow
To the life if you've ever known anyone
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
