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?
So mean, so mean
Every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah
And every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah
I'm feeling strange in the night
I'm in myself I feel I'm thrown into a fight
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, nothin's right
My skin is burning when my rock begins to speak
There's something going wrong with me
I am changing rapidly
I'm feeling stronger, more alert, I'm on the move
I smell her scent and I know I will find her soon (soon, soon)
the one to come and free me from this fate
I'll find her, it's not too late, hey, hey
Every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah
And every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah
I'm a beast in the night
I'm on the prowl and I'm hoping to find some light
you call it heaven, I can do it for the same
Aint nothing wrong I'll be feasting on something brave
A sexy lady who's pure, she has the cure, uh
I hope she can find a man within the beast, and
I hope she saves me from the curse I have to beat, hey
I hope she figures out a way to save my soul
yeah, to save my heart, hey
Every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah
And every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah
Nananananananana, whoooa
nanananananana
Nananananananana, whoooa
nanananananana
I watch the sun collapse and tuck up in the clizzoud
I am the lone wolf
Go where I wanna
Let the moon shine be the guide to the lizzight
Even when I stray away the light never left me, uh
I learn to follow my instinct
Blinded by the light, rather that than the evil
Fill another place in a room full of people
Try and be the same bitch you know you're not a sequel
You're fate will be whatever it shall be (be, be, be, be)
We'll fight no more,
I let these things just be (be, be, be)
Every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah
And every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah
Nananananananana, whoooa
nanananananana
Nananananananana, whoooa

Every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

"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.
illll song.
i think it's a direct continuation from "Enter Galactic", where the protagonist takes shrooms and continues on his "journey" in this song and hallucinating that he's a werewolf maybe?
just a thought, cudi is such a refreshing listen.
