He certainly did earn that reputation.
When I'm lying in your bed
Play the motions through my head
You know that I'm thinking, I'm thinking
And I have reasons to believe
That I'm not the only one you spend this time with
But I'll stay
You say,
You're weak,
You won't let me down,
You won't let me down
You lied,
Through your teeth,
You smiled in your sleep,
You smile in your sleep
When we met
You said that we were the same
You know that we're different,
We're different
And all those time you promised me that
Everything would work out in the end
You were gravely mistaken
You say,
You're weak
You won't let me down,
You won't let me down
You lied,
Through your teeth
You smiled in your sleep,
You smile in your sleep
You lied
You lied
You lied
You lied
You lied,
Through your teeth
You won't let me down
You lied,
I deserve better then this
I dream of steel
Maroon and warm
Your end (Your end)
Your end (Your end)
You gasp for air
I'll see this through
I'll see through you
You're pale (You're pale)
You're pale (You're pale)
You're pale
Blue eyes
When your lying in your bed,
Your eulogy's been read,
You know that it's fitting
You lied
You say
Your weak
You wont let me down
You wont let me down
You lied
Through your teeth
You smiled in your sleep
You smile in your sleep
You smile
You smile
You smile
You smile
I deserve better than this
Play the motions through my head
You know that I'm thinking, I'm thinking
And I have reasons to believe
That I'm not the only one you spend this time with
But I'll stay
You say,
You're weak,
You won't let me down,
You won't let me down
You lied,
Through your teeth,
You smiled in your sleep,
You smile in your sleep
When we met
You said that we were the same
You know that we're different,
We're different
And all those time you promised me that
Everything would work out in the end
You were gravely mistaken
You say,
You're weak
You won't let me down,
You won't let me down
You lied,
Through your teeth
You smiled in your sleep,
You smile in your sleep
You lied
You lied
You lied
You lied
You lied,
Through your teeth
You won't let me down
You lied,
I deserve better then this
I dream of steel
Maroon and warm
Your end (Your end)
Your end (Your end)
You gasp for air
I'll see this through
I'll see through you
You're pale (You're pale)
You're pale (You're pale)
You're pale
Blue eyes
When your lying in your bed,
Your eulogy's been read,
You know that it's fitting
You lied
You say
Your weak
You wont let me down
You wont let me down

You smile
You smile
I deserve better than this

"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
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.

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.
The gravely word is foreshadowing that in the song he's going to kill the girl.
