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?
The perfect cover for the motiveless crime
A murder in every city
You would have to be an idiot to not catch on
Blazing a blood trail across the country -
This is the perfect crime
Our home is the road
And sometimes you get bored at home
So lay low, watch your back
And have some fun with this
Just don't wear your heart on your sleeve
Don't wear your heart on your sleeve
Now you're another number
Now you're another number
I've created a monster and he's a statistic
'Cause life is a gamble and your luck just ran out
You shouldn't be alive
You shouldn't be alive
'Cause life is a gamble and your luck just ran out
You think "This is true crime" is another line?
But think again 'cause what we're doing is criminal
I'll tell you everything you want to know
Consider yourself to be a victim
I'll tell you everything you want to know
You all make me sick
This is the land of opportunity
I tied them up and watched them die
Your chances of surviving this are slim to none
I tied them up and watched them die
So be a good girl and no one gets hurt
I tied them up and watched them die
Here we come one by one or three at a time
You won't find out till it's too late, and it's always too fucking late
This is us against you and the world will never know
The world will never know
A murder in every city
You would have to be an idiot to not catch on
Blazing a blood trail across the country -
This is the perfect crime
Our home is the road
And sometimes you get bored at home
So lay low, watch your back
And have some fun with this
Just don't wear your heart on your sleeve
Don't wear your heart on your sleeve
Now you're another number
Now you're another number
I've created a monster and he's a statistic
'Cause life is a gamble and your luck just ran out
You shouldn't be alive
You shouldn't be alive
'Cause life is a gamble and your luck just ran out
You think "This is true crime" is another line?
But think again 'cause what we're doing is criminal
I'll tell you everything you want to know
Consider yourself to be a victim
I'll tell you everything you want to know
You all make me sick
This is the land of opportunity
I tied them up and watched them die
Your chances of surviving this are slim to none
I tied them up and watched them die
So be a good girl and no one gets hurt
I tied them up and watched them die
Here we come one by one or three at a time
You won't find out till it's too late, and it's always too fucking late
This is us against you and the world will never know
The world will never know

Fast Car

"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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
