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.
Escucha atenta lo que tengo que decirte es importante
Si permites tu futuro pronto cogerá otro rumbo
Esta noche estoy nervioso lo confieso me conoces
Ya me aprieta la corbata y mi corazon se ataca
Pocas veces estoy tenso tengo un nudo en la garganta
Dame un trago de algo fuerte para relajar mi alma
Te he comprado un regalo y se que no es tu cumpleaños
Es un anillo para prometerme y pedir tu mano
En ese anillo esta grabada mi declaración de amor
Mi destino esta en tus manos solo escucha el corazon
No sabia que pedir tu mano era una osadía
Quiero darte mi apellido dime si cariño mio
Me quiero casar contigo
Quiero dormir contigo
Quiero que lleves mi apellido, nuestros hijos tu sonrisa
Te quieres casar conmigo?
Quieres vivir conmigo?
Quiero pasar el resto de mis días con tu compañía
Que decides?
Tengo lista la sorpresa
Ya esta todo preparado, todo esta para casarnos
Tu me amas, yo te amo, somos dos enamorados
Tu familia esta en la iglesia esperando tu respuesta
No sabia que pedir tu mano era una osadía
Quiero darte mi apellido dime si cariño mio
Me quiero casar contigo
Quiero dormir contigo
Quiero que lleves mi apellido, nuestros hijos tu sonrisa
Te quieres casar conmigo?
Quieres vivir conmigo?
Quiero pasar el resto de mis días con tu compañía
Quiero llevarte conmigo al altar
Quiero entregarte toda mi lealtad
Que te enteres mi vida, te voy a amar!
Quiero darte la eternidad
Quiero darte la felicidad
Voy a gritarle al mundo entero que te amo y que te quiero
Me quiero casar contigo
Quiero dormir contigo
Quiero que lleves mi apellido, nuestros hijos tu sonrisa
Te quieres casar conmigo?
Quieres vivir conmigo?
Quiero pasar el resto de mis días con tu compañía
Si permites tu futuro pronto cogerá otro rumbo
Esta noche estoy nervioso lo confieso me conoces
Ya me aprieta la corbata y mi corazon se ataca
Pocas veces estoy tenso tengo un nudo en la garganta
Dame un trago de algo fuerte para relajar mi alma
Te he comprado un regalo y se que no es tu cumpleaños
Es un anillo para prometerme y pedir tu mano
En ese anillo esta grabada mi declaración de amor
Mi destino esta en tus manos solo escucha el corazon
No sabia que pedir tu mano era una osadía
Quiero darte mi apellido dime si cariño mio
Me quiero casar contigo

"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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
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"

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”
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.
