High life
Do you hear the wailing now
Do you hear'em nailing down
To a crown of thorns on
Sorrows born
Heaven's come down for
Sweat like blood comes down
Eclipse a shadow now
The sun is gone and sorrows come
Where it slithers from
Jesus I need you now
Free me I'm lost somehow
Oh, remember me today
I'm a leper left to hang
Oh, yes I need you now
Jesus I need you now
Show me I'm lost somehow
Oh, and show me there's a way from
The cross from where I hang
Oh see me bleed, I need you now
Tell me where I'm going now
Ooh am I lost or found
Are you who they say
Are you who they claim
Oh, remember me
Say a little prayer somehow, ooh
Show me where I'm bound ooh
God I'm falled
The bells are tolling
Just remember me, my name, my name
I'm slowly slipping into
These wings that carry on
My knees are bloody from my crawl
Show me there's a reason
Keep believing you're the one
My knees are buried at your cross
Tell me where I'm going now
Tell me am I going down
Are you who they say you claim
Remember me this night
Breath and hear me now
Ooh bring me alive
Show me all Golgotha's mine
Shadows forever night
Oh is there no hope for me?
Oh, somewhere you'll show for me?
Oh, I'm holding on believing thee's a reason I can find
Oh oh Lord remember me, take me up tonight
Do you hear'em nailing down
To a crown of thorns on
Sorrows born
Heaven's come down for
Sweat like blood comes down
Eclipse a shadow now
The sun is gone and sorrows come
Where it slithers from
Jesus I need you now
Free me I'm lost somehow
Oh, remember me today
I'm a leper left to hang
Oh, yes I need you now
Jesus I need you now
Show me I'm lost somehow
Oh, and show me there's a way from
The cross from where I hang
Oh see me bleed, I need you now
Tell me where I'm going now
Ooh am I lost or found
Are you who they say
Are you who they claim
Oh, remember me
Say a little prayer somehow, ooh
Show me where I'm bound ooh
God I'm falled
The bells are tolling
Just remember me, my name, my name
I'm slowly slipping into
These wings that carry on
My knees are bloody from my crawl
Show me there's a reason
Keep believing you're the one
My knees are buried at your cross
Tell me where I'm going now
Tell me am I going down
Are you who they say you claim
Remember me this night
Breath and hear me now
Ooh bring me alive
Show me all Golgotha's mine
Shadows forever night
Oh is there no hope for me?
Oh, somewhere you'll show for me?
Oh, I'm holding on believing thee's a reason I can find
Oh oh Lord remember me, take me up tonight

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

"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.

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”
Love this song. So strong
