"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.
Master Belial, I summon thee from north
Bestow your power upon me
Fulfil my desires, make me invisible
So that my enemies cannot see
Lord Lucifer, plague this world with fire
Bring forth total destruction
For the glory of Satan, master Lucifer
Accept this goat, our offering
For the four crown princes of hell
My master Satan, hear my brave call
I pray for hell on earth
Let the locust attack, let it rain blood
Give me finally my Armageddon
Lord Leviathan, let loose the seas
So that weaklings will drown
For the glory of Satan, master Lucifer
Let there be darkness forever
And thus skies burst open
And terror was in their eyes
We could smell their fear of death
When they saw the shining blades
In the name of Satan, we command the forces of hell
To head for the final battle
We slaughter the weak, destroy all the meek
Nothing can stop us now
As victory is ours, I raise my chalice of blood
To hail my lord Satanas
For the glory of Satan, master Lucifer
We are the servants that serve you well
Thy will be done, Thy kingdom come
Let there be darkness forever
All power to Satan, our true god
Finally we have reached the point
where we all are one with Satanas
Bestow your power upon me
Fulfil my desires, make me invisible
So that my enemies cannot see
Lord Lucifer, plague this world with fire
Bring forth total destruction
For the glory of Satan, master Lucifer
Accept this goat, our offering
For the four crown princes of hell
My master Satan, hear my brave call
I pray for hell on earth
Let the locust attack, let it rain blood
Give me finally my Armageddon
Lord Leviathan, let loose the seas
So that weaklings will drown
For the glory of Satan, master Lucifer
Let there be darkness forever
And thus skies burst open
And terror was in their eyes
We could smell their fear of death
When they saw the shining blades
In the name of Satan, we command the forces of hell
To head for the final battle
We slaughter the weak, destroy all the meek
Nothing can stop us now
As victory is ours, I raise my chalice of blood
To hail my lord Satanas
For the glory of Satan, master Lucifer
We are the servants that serve you well
Thy will be done, Thy kingdom come
Let there be darkness forever
All power to Satan, our true god
Finally we have reached the point
where we all are one with Satanas

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[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.
