its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Whoops I OD'd, shortness of breath, call ambulence, tell my wife I love her
Error in judgement cut my life, no second chance, no guiding light
I never meant, to cause., you pain
I never thought I'd be the one who took the fall
I got lost in the moment, assholes like to test the limit
Six minutes down, breathing machine, brain not feel right
The look on you, is killing me, drowning in shame
But don't feel bad, 'cause I never feared consequences
Hate regrets more than apologies
A year has passed, like photographs, my life is just
A scrapbook of old friends and faded memories
Looks like I pulled the rug out from under myself
The falls too much for me to recover from
It's been real fun but now I must say goodbye, I'll see you all at okie dogs
Error in judgement cut my life, no second chance, no guiding light
I never meant, to cause., you pain
I never thought I'd be the one who took the fall
I got lost in the moment, assholes like to test the limit
Six minutes down, breathing machine, brain not feel right
The look on you, is killing me, drowning in shame
But don't feel bad, 'cause I never feared consequences
Hate regrets more than apologies
A year has passed, like photographs, my life is just
A scrapbook of old friends and faded memories
Looks like I pulled the rug out from under myself
The falls too much for me to recover from
It's been real fun but now I must say goodbye, I'll see you all at okie dogs

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

"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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
