Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
You push me when I'm falling and you kick me when I'm down
I guess I missed my calling 'cause I should have been a clown
How much more, how much more could I stand
When you're pouring water on a drowning man, I like that
Put me on the right track
And then you let me down
You stab me in the back, yes you do baby
Every time I turn around, oh
Criticize my loving
Won't you try, just try to understand
You're pouring water, I got to tell you about it, on a drowning man
You're pouring water on a drowning man
You treat me like the fool that I am
You brag that I like everything you do
You put salt in my wounds it's sad but it's true
You warm me with your kissin' then you leave me in the cold
How can I know your wishes, when you tell me, when I've never been told, alright
I cry in mercy baby, just try to understand
You're pouring water, I got to tell you about it, on a drowning man, yeah
You're pouring water, ha ha, you see I'm a drowning man
Oh I got tears in my eyes, I'm a drowning man
Don't me drown, oh baby, I'm a drowning man
Don't let me drown
I guess I missed my calling 'cause I should have been a clown
How much more, how much more could I stand
When you're pouring water on a drowning man, I like that
Put me on the right track
And then you let me down
You stab me in the back, yes you do baby
Every time I turn around, oh
Criticize my loving
Won't you try, just try to understand
You're pouring water, I got to tell you about it, on a drowning man
You're pouring water on a drowning man
You treat me like the fool that I am
You brag that I like everything you do
You put salt in my wounds it's sad but it's true
You warm me with your kissin' then you leave me in the cold
How can I know your wishes, when you tell me, when I've never been told, alright
I cry in mercy baby, just try to understand
You're pouring water, I got to tell you about it, on a drowning man, yeah
You're pouring water, ha ha, you see I'm a drowning man
Oh I got tears in my eyes, I'm a drowning man
Don't me drown, oh baby, I'm a drowning man
Don't let me drown

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.

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.
