its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Lights out, shoot up the station
Tv's dead where's there to run?
Watch everybody come undone (lights out)
Won't make it easy, won't make it fun
Won't let them see now, how they have one
Still I'll go another round
Darlin'
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darlin' (must be worth it 'cause the more)
(I try the more it gets uneven)
Now don't you worry turn out the lights (I can shake it I keep thinking)
(But it's with me for a reason)
Wiped out, no concentration
They got us basking in a storm
I watch it as it loses form, I doubt
They even see me, guess what I want
A casualty but I am up front
And I know what it's about
Darlin'
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darlin' (must be worth it 'cause the more)
(I try the more it gets uneven)
Now don't you worry turn out the lights (I can shake it I keep thinking)
(But it's with me for a reason)
I'm still here shaking my head
The one you can't account for
I keep just one step ahead
There's no place to run
Darlin'
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darlin' (must be worth it 'cause the more)
(I try the more it gets uneven)
Now don't you worry turn out the lights (I can shake it I keep thinking)
(But it's with me for a reason)
Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[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.
I took it for face value and figured it was about someone going into a tv station and shooting the place up. More media comes and is covering the story (Wiped out They could see me; that's what I want); the narrator wanted to be the center of attention, and to do it they killed someone (A casualty, but I am upfront And I know what it's about)
It's one of those songs that is very happy and cheerful until you hear the lyrics (at least to me it is).
I love this song. This and I'm a Lady are my favorites.
