"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.
Escape into the eerie night
In the dark I’m out of sight
Shadows on the alley wall
Are dancing like a lovers brawl
North south east and west
Foreign land is right and left
Don’t let them see you cry
I didn’t know which way was home
Ten degrees without a coat
Don’t let them see you cry
I don’t want to love you if love leaves me this cold
I don’t want to love you if love is this alone
Silence couldn’t stop the sound
The news and gossip got around
A whisper here whisper there
I do but don’t know why I care
Eyes hang from the sockets of our faces
You said no and I don’t think I can take it
This cars caving in
Rains on in the city traffic puzzle
Shifting pieces just like my stomach
Were both so upset
Love sick and were sick of it
Were both on the same page
Don’t feel the same way
In the dark I’m out of sight
Shadows on the alley wall
Are dancing like a lovers brawl
North south east and west
Foreign land is right and left
Don’t let them see you cry
I didn’t know which way was home
Ten degrees without a coat
Don’t let them see you cry
I don’t want to love you if love leaves me this cold
I don’t want to love you if love is this alone
Silence couldn’t stop the sound
The news and gossip got around
A whisper here whisper there
I do but don’t know why I care
Eyes hang from the sockets of our faces
You said no and I don’t think I can take it
This cars caving in
Rains on in the city traffic puzzle
Shifting pieces just like my stomach
Were both so upset
Love sick and were sick of it
Were both on the same page
Don’t feel the same way

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Were both so alone should be "Were both so upset".
I <3 this song for so many different reasons, I can't even explain but i love this song lol <3
Good job, keep it up.
OMG could this song be anymore awesome??? I don't think so. "North, south, east, and west, foreign land is right and left" That has gotta be the catchiest thing i've ever heard. Song may be about umm not wanting to be with someone because of who they become when they're with them... Only saying that because the chorus makes it obvious... "I don't want to love you if love leaves me this cold"
"Were both so alone Love sick and were sick of it Were both on the same page Don’t feel the same way"
pretty self explanatory.. and exactly how i'm feeling at the moment.
"Don’t let them see you cry"
that's the advice i was given when i broke up with my boyfriend..
this is a really catchy song with awesome meaningful lyrics.
this chorus is really amazing.
the more i listen to the hush sound the more i fall in love. the girls voice (sorry i 4get the names) is so intoxicating.
but for me, it really gets me when the i hear the guy sing. i could sit back and listen to the hush sound all day if i had the time.
"I don’t want to love you if love leaves me this cold I don’t want to love you if love is this alone"
obviously this guy is unhappy with happy and unfulfilled with his relationship at the time for what ever reason and is trying to escape it.

I get the feeling he wants a certain girl who is often talked about behind her back.
"Silence couldn’t stop the sound The news and gossip got around A whisper here whisper there I do but don’t know why I care"
But he can't have her because she doesn't feel the same way about him as he does her.
"You said no and I don’t think I can take it"
"We're both so alone Love sick and we're sick of it We're both on the same page Don’t feel the same way"
And, as you would, the feeling he gets is lost and cold.
"I didn’t know which way was home Ten degrees without a coat"
"I don’t want to love you if love leaves me this cold I don’t want to love you if love is this alone"
"I don’t want to love you if love leaves me this cold I don’t want to love you if love is this alone" It's so good! I really love this song! :)
What I get from it is that the narrator is in a state of unrequited love, and he feels lost and cold and overwhelmed like you do in a big city you don't know and you get lost, hence the metaphor.
