The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
The man takes another bullet
He keeps them all within
He must seek no matter how it hurts
So don't fool again
He thinks the answer is cold and in his hand
He takes his medicine
The man takes another bullet
Yeah, he's been fooled again
Uncross your arms
Take and throw 'em to the cure, say
I do believe
Uncross your arms now, take 'em to and say
I do believe
Yeah, I do believe
Yeah, the lies tempt her and she follows
Again she lets him in
She must believe to fill the hollow
She's been fooled again
Uncross your arms
Take and throw 'em to the cure, say
I do believe
Uncross your arms now, take 'em to and say
I do believe
Oh yeah, I do believe, yeah yeah, oh
Betting on the cure
It must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah, everyone's gotta have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
Precious cure
Betting on the cure
'Cause it must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah, everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
Yeah, precious cure
I do believe, I do believe

I do believe, I do believe
I do believe, I do believe
I do believe, I do believe
I do believe, I do believe
I do believe, I do believe

Betting on the cure
Yeah, it must get better than this
Need to feel secure
Yeah, it's gotta get better than this, this, this
It must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
I do believe, I do believe, I do believe
He keeps them all within
He must seek no matter how it hurts

He thinks the answer is cold and in his hand
He takes his medicine
The man takes another bullet

"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.

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

@[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.
okay... i compeltey disagree with everyone that has comment this song and i dont see how noone else has come to my conclusion cuase i have always thought this about the song i believe that this song is about religion
"Uncross your arms now Take them to it, say... I do believe Yeah, I do believe"
crossing your arms is a show of defiance he is saying stop being defiant and bring them to the cure 'religion' and in church people bring their hands up high when worshipping and singing for god they dont have them crossed and what do you think he wants you to say 'i do believe' in alcohal or drugs? like eveyone else has commented this song thinks it is about? no say i do believe in god
"Betting on the cure It must get better than this Betting on the cure Yeah, everyone's gotta to have the sickness Cause everyone seems to need the cure Precious cure"
your taking a bet on the cure that it is correct "it must get better than this" life must get better than earth everyone must have the 'sickness' cause every civalization has had a 'cure' it is "precious" because people die for their faith and eveyone has needed one to make sense of things
"The lie is tempted and she follows Again she hits him in She must believe to feel the hollow She's been fooled again"
the lie has been put out on her plate and she eats it and she must believe in it to feel that she is still hollow she has been fooled again; it is not the real cure
"The man takes another bullet He keeps them all within He must seek no matter how it hurts So don't fool again
He thinks the answer is cold and in his hand He takes his medicine The man takes another bullet Yeah! He's been fooled again"
he is trying to take the quick route to find out the truth he is trying to commit suicide to get to find out what is the truth "he must seek no matter how it hurts" he must seek out the answer no matter how much it is going to hurt killing himself or if it is true and he might go to hell for not believing or cause he commited suicide he just feels the need to find out the truth which one was the real cure and which ones were the poisons? "yeah hes been fooled again" he has possibly been fooled to kill himself to find out maybe someone has pushed him over the edge to try it
"The lie is tempted and she follows Again she hits him in She must believe to feel the hollow She's been fooled again"
again i bring you back to this for the line "again she hits him in" maybe that could mean she killed him because the man didnt have the strength to do it himself
"Need to feel secure"
we need to know what is going to happen so we wont be so afraid we need to feel secure that we know what is going to happen when we die
please comment my comment cause i havnt found anyone that agrees with me on any site and i wonder if anyone has the same thought; thanks
I disagree with your interpretation. wouldn't it be strange if the same band that has songs called like The God That Failed etc. now would do songs in which they worship the church?in addition hetfield had bad experiences with religion when he was a child.his parents died because of diseases they didn't want do fight with medicines because they were so religious that they thought god would cure them if they pray enough.well of course that didn't happen and hetfield had to watch them die without fighting against it because of church so i would guess that this is not a pro religion song
@theend: He is not telling that Metallica likes religion, he is saying the opposite. That's a good interpretation, both are. I see it more as religion even tho there are some lines that seem to imply that is about the use of drugs.
