The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
또 눈물이 내 앞을 가려주네요
그대 모습 혹시 보일까봐
벌써 시간이 나도 모르게 늦었네요
오늘도 그대만 기다렸죠
난 참 바보처럼 그대만 불러요
언젠간 그대도 날 보겠죠
한참 기다리다 눈물이 고여요
이렇게 또 하루가 지나죠 oh
오늘 하루만 I cry
영원히 행복하길 goodbye
가끔은 내 생각에 웃어도 좋아
I'm fine thank you
Thank you
아무일 없듯이 살아가다 보면은
혹시 나를 잊을 수도 있죠 woo
아주 가끔 내 생각이 나더라도
잘 있으니 걱정 말아요
난 참 바보처럼 그대만 불러요
언젠간 그대도 날 보겠죠 woo
한참 기다리다 눈물이 고여요
이렇게 또 하루가 지나죠 oh
오늘 하루만 I cry (I cry)
영원히 행복하길 goodbye (goodbye, goodbye)
가끔은 내 생각에 웃어도 좋아
I'm fine thank you
Thank you
너무 보고 싶어 힘들어질 때면
바람 되어 불어주고
가끔 저 언덕에서 내 이름 부르며
달려와 힘껏 안아주렴
오늘 하루만 I cry (I cry)
영원히 행복하길 goodbye (goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
가끔은 내 생각에 웃어도 좋아
I'm fine thank you (I'm fine thank you)
Thank you (thank you)

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.
Holiday

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
This song is so sweet.
When you're a child you run to your parents when you need someone to help you. When you're a teenage, you run to your friends. But when you're older, you need that special someone you can run to when you need to get away from everything else.
Very well put kindacrazy as well all need that special someone, regardless of what it is that makes us run.
This song is about needing someone and always going to them when things don't go right. As for Clancy81, 'this world keeps spinning faster to a new disaster' means that as days go on there will be bad things eventually and no matter what disasters come you can always run to someone.
I discovered this song on Conan O'Brien! =D The meaning is pretty clear..no?
could someone help me.what does "this world keeps spinning faster into a new disaster" mean?
My take on this line is just that; there is always something that can hit us hard; emotionally, physically, financially, or in a material sense.
It doesn't mean much of anything. It's just a terrible song lyric. Also of note is that the world is actually not spinning faster. It spins slower every day.
i think carlysunshine is right!!! there can be a christian meaning to this song and i think this song should be labeled as a christian song too!!!
Reminds me of a guy I once dated. The circumstance wasn't typical and didn't work out. But he would say that he wished at 'times like these that I could just run to you' .. Sometimes life just seems too much and you just want to run to the person who makes it all better.
this song is really cute ^_^ it's basicaly saying, when life gets me down i know that i have you to run to. how sweet[: i love it!
:)
This song has a deeper meaning than simply being a love song as some sources suggest. It's about having someone to turn to for support in a difficult time.
