its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Three is evil
The most evil of all the numbers
Course and hateful
Full of unrest and neglect
(Hey)
When they get here
You become someone else
Cruel and distant
A cavalier to my roundhead
And as you make
Your pretty speech
I seethe
(Like Vesuvius)
With reason drowned by toxic force
I'm going to the darkside
..cause
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
I want reperations
The streets are run with your blood
I want the lime light back
I want it back
Theres no reason to pretend
We are closer than this (Hey)
I know
That you know
That I know
That you know
I'd rather claw out your eyes
With reason drowned by toxic force
Im going to the darkside
..cause
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
I want reperations
The streets are run with your blood
I want the lime light back
I want it back
The most evil of all the numbers
Course and hateful
Full of unrest and neglect
(Hey)
When they get here
You become someone else
Cruel and distant
A cavalier to my roundhead
And as you make
Your pretty speech
I seethe
(Like Vesuvius)
With reason drowned by toxic force
I'm going to the darkside
..cause
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
I want reperations
The streets are run with your blood
I want the lime light back
I want it back
Theres no reason to pretend
We are closer than this (Hey)
I know
That you know
That I know
That you know
I'd rather claw out your eyes
With reason drowned by toxic force
Im going to the darkside
..cause
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Sometimes I want to hurt you
I want reperations
The streets are run with your blood
I want the lime light back
I want it back

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.

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.
Great Job, Huddy! I just have one thing to add or correct. The line I want reperations isn't about wanting to repair the friendship. Historically reperations are payments made by the losing country in a war to the winner. Kele wants his friend to pay for what he has done to him. (which leads "the streets to run with your blood" thing)
