"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 know you like my style, my million dollar smile
Hit any party red carpet, bet I shut that down
Don't hate just go get yours
No excuses no more

I could throw a hundred million out the cockpit of my Leer
That's dirty money (uh uh)
You starving hungry (that's right)
I got a million in singles
Take it all off, shake it for me
No renting, my millions hydroplaning
And I'm done with St Tropez'ng
In my Lambo' Ice Capadin'
I'm richer than all the riches in the world
You ain't no groupie and I ain't tryna buy you

Penthouse at the Trump, in Las Vegas I'm Lady Luck
Million dollar slab, I know I got you feinding
These shades is YSL
These heels ain't out 'til next season
I'm in that pink Ferrari, I got a thing for Porsches
I like my men like my cars, strong and built like horses
Glass of Nuvo, I'm far from average
Rich and lavish, that's why I am the baddest bitch
Baby if I want it, I got it
'Cause I'll be gettin' some more
I'm a million dollar girl for sure

The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
