He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
I won't be here when you come home
I'm sorry if you don't understand forgive me if you can
But I can see another road
And I ain't coming back
Don't look for me you bound this town
Cause I will be so far away you'll never find me anywhere
And I won't take no souvernirs no perfume picture promises
Because it's over
And I ain't coming back
You gave me everything
And now I'm breaking your heart
You know that I don't mean
To tear your world apart
I would never leave, if I thought you couldn't stand the pain
A letter in hall, is written on the wall
A letter with the words of love at all
Because it's over
And I ain't coming back
And as I close the door
I know I'm breaking your heart
I should have loved you more
Instead I've torn world apart
And as I walk into the lonely afternoon
I feel sad enough, I feel bad enough
And all the times when you are lonely where you are
Please don't hate me then, I just could not pretend
Tears, feel the tears, I can feel the tears, running through the years
I'm sorry if you don't understand forgive me if you can
But I can see another road
And I ain't coming back
Don't look for me you bound this town
Cause I will be so far away you'll never find me anywhere
And I won't take no souvernirs no perfume picture promises
Because it's over
And I ain't coming back
You gave me everything
And now I'm breaking your heart
You know that I don't mean
To tear your world apart
I would never leave, if I thought you couldn't stand the pain
A letter in hall, is written on the wall
A letter with the words of love at all
Because it's over
And I ain't coming back
And as I close the door
I know I'm breaking your heart
I should have loved you more
Instead I've torn world apart
And as I walk into the lonely afternoon
I feel sad enough, I feel bad enough
And all the times when you are lonely where you are
Please don't hate me then, I just could not pretend
Tears, feel the tears, I can feel the tears, running through the years

"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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
He loves her but has to leave her and hates breaking her heart....
@Tiltcr sorry, but he doesn't love her (anymore). and he knows that he is hurting her very much, hence he is feeling bad. to me this is the most heartbraking song ever - honestly. I would even say it's the saddest song ever and I am male. its a beautiful song, incredibly touching, absolutely. nevertheless I can't listen to it, because it's simply too sad. I don't enjoy feeling sad.
