"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.
""In this night that highlights dawn I stay dormant for I have feared this moment I have feared that this time would come. This is the time someone must silence your voice. Vengeful and fierce are the thoughts that I bear with me. The last strain of hope is gone. I ant calculating the risk and I am ready for desperate measures now. Thrown into the lion pit; a fight of life. I failed you all and I am too afraid to become a slave to the base of urges But a situation like this requires concessions. I will not allow someone like you to destroy what we have. I do not want to be like you but I have no choice; you leave me no choice. In my eyes clashing views on everything I am. I take a closer look to see there are only illusions. Everything that defined me all I believed has been withdrawn. Reality tears apart itself now tell me that this is not a matter of life and death. This is a matter of life and death. This is my consciousness my ego my self-sabotage. This is indispensable. This is what my feelings sound like. I am more afraid of the ones that obey than of the disease itself. See the signs of this emergence and raise the awareness It's time to be resistant. I find so many reasons to why you should be extinct so many reasons yet no one will win so I will fight this fight for one last night. Fuse together with my painful strife to be under the knife. As I flex the joints of this hand you might find that you don't stand a chance. Prepare for impact. Let the darkness commence and this is where it ends.""

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
‘All These Feelings’ is a premonition of the “fight of life” between two Derangers : MÃ¥sstaden has decided that “someone must silence your voice”, no matter what the cost. The repetition of the phrase “This is a matter of life and death!” conveys the sincerity of the threat they (and we, in the real world) and facing. In fact, it seems that this song is a rallying cry, a plea to the population of the earth to confront the force of globalisation and eradicate its evils. It depicts "the ominous force of war", which is in essence a war against all evil. The verse at 3:12, for example, calls upon us, as human beings, to take responsibility for bringing this evil to justice: “See the signs of this emergence and raise the awareness. It’s time to be resistant… so many reasons why you should be extinct… I will fight this fight for one last night.” They fear the spread of this plague, that it will infect their people: “I am more afraid of the ones that obey than of the disease itself.” Action must be taken. Battle is declared. The inhabitants are restless and frightened, uncertain of what will become of their city; yet some speak of victory, and inspire with tales of the past. This is the feeling recieved in this track from 5:40: the reminiscence in the ambiences and clean guitar, coupled with the strident guitar melody gives a real sense of hope.
