Cover art for Faster lyrics by Within Temptation

Good song, I had the same thoughts as Lemon on this for the most part. However the hardest part of this for me to interpret is when she says "Faster, and faster, and faster,", etc. The song is titled that, but what is it really saying about the relationship aspect? - Anyone with half a brain could think of sex, though that certainly isn't it obviously.

Really, re-read the lyrics. It starts off with,

"I can't sleep 'Cause it's burning deep inside Like gasoline On a fire burning wild"

You can easily see that it goes amongst the lines of "being driven by loust, love, and self-indulgence" and how its hurting her, but she "can't" stop it.

"No more fear 'Cause I'm getting closer now So unreal But I like it anyhow"

She's not afraid of the consequences or aftermath because she's already at a "point of no return" to where its impacted her enough so it doesn't phase her with caution. She's only doing it more and more and enjoying herself because even with the bad out-come she's lost a level of self-respect, or something on those lines to where it doesn't matter to her. So she continues to

"I go faster, faster Faster, faster Faster, faster Faster"

See, then its just "FASTER, FASTER, FASTER" from no where. Is she saying she's feeding into her temptation, addiction, or lust, etc?

It isn't really explained in depth about what she's feeding into, though obviously with the mentions of love its more than likely a relationship of some sort.
