Fast Lane
K.E. On The Track Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put her in the spotlight
I am chasing what I can't have
I am chasing you the downpath
I am chasing what I can't have
I am chasing you, chasing you, chasing you
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Driving on the right side
Now she is too good for me
Put her in the spotlight
After she had outpaced me
Looking at the bright side
There is none really
Could have been the right guy, could have been at her side
Her side, maybe if she'd turn right
Turn right, turn right
Her side, maybe if she'd turn right,
Turn right, aye
Taking painkiller after painkiller, yeah
If not the painkillers then the pain kills me
I look forward to the end
I look forward to the day when my car crashs
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Driving on the right side
Now she is too good for me
Put her in the spotlight
After she had outpaced me
Looking at the bright side
There is none really
Could have been the right guy, could have been at her side
Driving on the right side
Put her in the spotlight
Looking at the bright side
Could have been the right guy, could have been at her side
Driving on the right side
Now she is too good for me
Put her in the spotlight
After she had outpaced me
Looking at the bright side
There is none really
Could have been the right guy, could have been at her side
Whining 'bout the past times
I am stuck in misery
Thinking 'bout to quit life
That's just a bad ecstasy
Looking in your green eyes
I'm sorry baby
Making up my damn mind for you and the fast lane
The fast lane, for you and the fast lane
The fast lane, for you and the fast lane
In K.E. On The Track's song Fast Lane, the lyrics are centered around the theme of chasing after someone that the singer seemingly cannot have. The first stanza starts off with the line "Driving on the right side," which can be taken literally as a reference to being on the correct side of the road while driving, but can also be interpreted metaphorically as the singer trying to do the right things in pursuit of this person. They go on to say "Put her in the spotlight," which suggests that this person is the focus of their attention and desire. However, they acknowledge that they are chasing after something that they can't have, and that they are essentially on a downward path in the pursuit.
The second stanza continues with this theme, with the singer saying that this person is now "too good for me" and has "outpaced" them. They admit that there is no bright side to their situation, and that they could have been the right person for this individual but it just didn't work out. The third stanza takes a darker turn, with the singer talking about taking painkillers to deal with the emotional pain of their situation. They express a desire for the pain to end, and even say that they look forward to their eventual "car crash." The final stanza seems to be an attempt at reconciliation, with the singer apologizing and declaring that they are making up their mind to be with this person and be a part of the "fast lane."
Overall, the song's lyrics appear to explore the complexities and struggles of pursuing someone that is out of reach, as well as the emotional toll that it can take on an individual. The use of driving-related imagery and language creates a sense of urgency and intensity, and the repeated references to the "fast lane" suggest that this is something that is not meant to be taken slow or easy.

Driving on the right side
Driving on the correct side of the road
Put her in the spotlight
Giving her attention and focus
I am chasing what I can't have
Pursuing something that is unattainable
I am chasing you the downpath
Continuing pursuit despite negative consequences
Looking at the bright side, there is none really
Optimism is difficult or impossible to find
Could have been the right guy, could have been at her side
I could have been the right person for her
Turn right, turn right, Her side, maybe if she'd turn right
If she had chosen a different path or direction, we could have been together
Taking painkiller after painkiller, yeah
Trying to numb emotional pain
If not the painkillers then the pain kills me
The pain is too much to bear without some form of relief
I look forward to the end, I look forward to the day when my car crashs
Life has lost its value and I crave an end to it
Whining 'bout the past times, I am stuck in misery
Focusing on past events and unable to move forward
Thinking 'bout to quit life, That's just a bad ecstasy
Contemplating suicide is a dangerous and harmful escape
Looking in your green eyes, I'm sorry baby
Apologizing to the person who is the object of desire
Making up my damn mind for you and the fast lane, The fast lane, for you and the fast lane
Choosing the path of the fast life with the desired person
