"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.
もたもたしすぎて またもや季節が終わる
一度でいいから 歌ってみたいんだ super love song
論争が終わり 善悪の概念も消える
思わず君が震えてしまうような super love song
ダメとイヤばっか ぶつけあうため
僕ら出会うわけじゃないよ
つぶしあい なんて時代遅れ
相乗効果で ヨクなろう 同じベクトル持った僕ら無敵
状況変化に戸惑わん ぶっとい根っこで ギュッとつながってる
ばらまいてよ good news
わかり合いたいなどと たやすく言わないよ super love song
いつか君に誉められ 強くなれた
なによりそれが大事なことなんだ super love song
でっかい理想 謳うのもいい
でもキミが泣いてるのなら
どんな夢も 足もとからぐらつく
相乗効果で ヨクなろう 同じベクトル持った僕ら無敵
状況変化に戸惑わん ぶっとい根っこで ギュッとつながってる
紛争なんか いらないよ 君と僕との間に 今さら
冷戦なんかもアホらしい 見栄を張りあったってキリがない
もう知ってるだろう
愛なら衝突することはないし 増えも減りもしない
静かにそこにあって 動かない 人はただそれを見つければいい
相乗効果で ヨクなろう 同じベクトル持った僕ら無敵
状況変化に戸惑わん ぶっとい根っこで ギュッとつながってる
狂信的な正義が 道行く人々を 脅しまくる
そんな行為は 粋じゃない さりげない やりとりで共鳴しよう
ばらまいてよ good news
Super love song, super love song

@[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.
