"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.
We ran through strawberry fields and smelt the summer time,
When it gets dark I'll hold your body next to mine,
Then we'll find some wood and hell we'll build a fire,
And then we'll find some rope and make a string guitar.
Captivated by the way you look tonight
the light is dancing in your eyes
Your sweet eyes
Times like these we'll never forget
Staying out to watch the sunset
I'm glad I shared this with you
You set me free
Showed me how good my life could be
How did you happen to me
Yeahhh aww
And then I'll swing you girl until you fall asleep
And when you wake up you'll be lying next to me
We'll go to Hollywood make you a movie star
I want the the world to know how beautiful you are
Captivated by the way you look tonight
the light is dancing in your eyes
Your sweet eyes
Times like these we'll never forget
Staying out to watch the sunset
I'm glad I shared this with you
You set me free
Showed me how good my life could be
How did you happen to me
Yeahhh aww
There are no secrets anymore
Nothing we don't already know
There are no fears of growing old
We've got no worries in the world

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
