"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.
You've been down for me
Since day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one
And you've been riding for me girl
Since day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one
I knew you had my back girl
Since day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one
And I'm happy that you're my
Day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one shawty
First off, baby that's loyal
Most of these girls ain't royal
And that's why you know I'm gonna spoil you
And I'd do anything for you
Need your hair done, I'd fix it
Want a new bag, I'd get it
Girl you look good, let me kiss you
I wanna spend this money up with you
Pop a couple bands for the rent
Take it, that's money well spent
That's for all the money you spent
That's for all the money you lent me girl
Everything that I been through
I ain't 'bout to act brand new
Real friends, only got a few
And real talking, baby, you the truth
Oh, if you ask me if I got you, you know what the answer is
You know it girl
Girl you damn right, damn right, damn right, damn right

Since day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one
And you've been riding for me girl
Since day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one

Since day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one
And I'm happy that you're my
Day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one shawty
Baby I can tell your future
Drop top, girl let me scoop you (scoop you up)
And I don't wanna ever, ever lose you
Real chick, baby, I salute you
Everything that I been through

Day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one shawty
You are the reason I don't fuck with you niggas
Only the homies from day one
Call up my baby cause we ain't talk in a minute
Name saved as Bae on my phone
Give her a minute, when she come over we kissin'
She my day one, only one better than all my bitches
Pussy too good when I bang I'm on a mission
Body to body when we changing up positions
I'm like a particle
I pick her like eeny meeny miney mo
Hop out the plane like Geronimo
I lock her down like Guantanamo
I give that pussy a taste
Put that shit all in my face
She likes the Codeine and the J
Baby girl all I can say
You've been down for me
Since day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one
And you've been riding for me girl
Since day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
