Fast as You Can Lyrics

Cover art for Fast as You Can lyrics by Fiona Apple

Ok, I seriously think Fiona would be disgusted if she saw some of these shallow comments. I'm pretty damn sure the song is about her having a track record of hurting men, deliberately? who knows... but this one has gotten in somehow. She's frightened of that, and even more frightened that she'll hurt him and every guy she tries to date. She's warning him to try and scare him away so she can have the cold comfort of knowing she tried to prevent it. She's just describing what kind of person she is and can be. Bitter about a lot of things in life and " my pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will disprove your faith in man" is basically saying that she's got a lot of opinions about the world and she's not shy about voicing them, whether it destroys someone's outlook or not. The song is all about her giving warning to a guy, but underneath it all she wants it to work, she's practically daring him to try and bare with her faults.
