"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 won't love you anyway
Look how the tables turn
You had a loss of word
Just let it go
It's been too long for us to let it burn
I know you're mad right now
But we've gotta talk this out
There are a worst that's what we said
So there's no wakin' out
I can be drunk
You can be bite
Just couldn't find cause it is weren't the fight
I've got your heart
And you've got mine
So there's no saying goodbye
No matter how we working out working out working out
Cause love is irreversible 'versible 'versible
No matter how hard we play
Have to say no reply
You can go back in time
Cause love is irreversible 'versible 'versible
I get emotional
Sometimes you treat me cold
Love is still here won't disappear can let it take us roll
We may did lose our way
When we communicate
Cannot been come when you and me
We are of forever faith
I've got your heart
And you've got mine
So there's no saying goodbye
No matter how we working out working out working out
Cause love is irreversible 'versible 'versible
No matter how hard we play
Have to say no reply
You can go back in time
Cause love is irreversible 'versible 'versible
I won't love you anyway anyway anyway
I won't love you anytime any day
So let's try to make it right
No matter how we working out working out working out
Cause love is irreversible 'versible 'versible
No matter how hard we play

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.

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.
