its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
(This, and I never let it happen)
(Hey, yeah, oh)
(Hey, yeah, oh)
When I think of you
It's always on my mind
Is that story true?
No one saves the day
(Hey, yeah, oh)
Don't you want the truth?
Ignore reality
See, I love that feelin' too
Nobody's gonna stop right now
(Hey, yeah, oh)
Summer is coming
Won't go away
Summer is coming
It's here to stay
(Hey, yeah, oh)
I can't believe it
This is the eleventh hour
Psychedelic
Life is such a funny journey
Hercules
Your service is no longer needed
It's just like make believe
(Hey, yeah, oh)
They got the remedy
But they won't let it happen
They got the remedy
But they won't let it happen
(Hey, yeah, oh)
(Hey, yeah, oh)
Now that you heard the truth
I need a friendly face
I hate that feeling too
But no one's unafraid
(Hey, yeah, oh)
Don't expect the truth
This is a fantasy
I fight that feeling too
But nobody's gonna stop us now
(Hey, yeah, oh)
Summer is coming
Won't go away
Summer is coming
It's here to stay
(Hey, yeah, oh)
Lo and behold the salt of the city
Pillars like time are fading away
Symphony building up to a future
Mystery to solve for somebody else
(Hey, yeah, oh)
I can't believe it
Life is such a funny journey
Psychedelic
This is the eleventh hour
Hercules
Your service is no longer needed
It's just like make believe
They got the remedy
But they won't let it happen
They got the remedy
But they won't let it happen
Everybody's on the take
Tell me, are you on the take too?
Everybody's on the take
Tell me, are you on the take too?
Look up on the bright side
I'm not gonna give it to ya
Look at it on the bright side
(Hey, yeah, oh, oh)
Look up on the bright side
I'm not gonna give it to ya
Look up on the bright side
(Hey, yeah, oh)
Look up on the bright side
I'm not gonna give it to ya

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

"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.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The song is about humanity's intentional ignorance about the global warming. All of the currently living generations are "waiting for it all to go away" so that the future ones can figure it all out when they have no other choice.
