FAST
M.Fro Lyrics

You're moving through the rough waters, motel boy
You are struggling through difficult times, like someone who is constantly moving from one cheap motel to another.

And swimming in your sleep
You are not fully aware of what's happening around you, as if you're asleep even when you're awake.

How could I be so blind, mis-sighted
I didn't realize what was going on with you, even though the signs were clearly there.

Not to see there's something wounded deep?
I failed to notice that you are deeply hurt, and that your pain is affecting you in many ways.

Anyone could scratch your surface now
Anybody can see that you are not doing well, because you're not hiding your pain anymore.

It's all amphetamine
You are taking drugs to help you cope with your troubles, even though this is not a healthy solution.

You're blasting yourself into the present
You're using drugs to keep yourself from thinking about the past or worrying about the future.

To blur some past indignity, say that
You're using drugs to forget about something that happened to you in the past, something that hurt you deeply.

You say that you hate it
You claim that you dislike the situation you're in, but you keep going back to the drugs anyways.

You want to re-create it
You feel like you're stuck in a cycle, always repeating the same pattern, even if it's harmful.

I've been around, I've been your lover
I'm someone who has been close to you, someone who has been with you through thick and thin.

I let it go at Kill Devil Hills
I had to break up with you at some point, and that happened during our time in Kill Devil Hills.

You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
You're moving towards something quickly, but you're too apathetic to feel excited or scared about it.

That you can't even feel
You've become so numbed by your drug use that you can barely feel anything, either physically or emotionally.

You're drinking raw adrenal, baby
You're consuming something that gives you energy and excitement, but it's not good for you in the long run.

And do-si-do, saddo
You're dancing around your problems, pretending that they don't exist, but they keep following you no matter what.

You're eating cartilage, shark-eyes, shark-heart, all present tense
You're consuming something that's tough and unappetizing, like the cartilage of a shark or its eyes and heart, always in the present moment.

And boy, your blood is running cold
You've become jaded and indifferent towards things, as if you don't care anymore.

Listen! This is now, this is here this is me
Pay attention, because what's happening right now is important, and it's all about me.

That was then, that was that that is gone, that is past
Forget about what happened before, because it's over and done with, and there's nothing we can do to change it now.

You cast yourself, cast passed by, thrown down fast
You've thrown yourself away, as if you're no longer worth anything, going by so quickly that you're barely noticed.

You love it, you hate it
You have a love-hate relationship with your addiction, because it helps you cope in some ways, but it also ruins your life in others.

You want to re-create it
You feel compelled to repeat the same cycle of addiction, even though you know it's not good for you.

Now! This is here, this is me
Right now is what matters, and I'm still the same person, even if things have changed around me.

That was then, that was that, that is gone
The past is over, and we need to focus on the present and the future, rather than dwelling on what's already happened.

That is what I wanted you to feel
I want you to understand that the past is in the past, and it's time to move on from it, rather than clinging to it.

You're spitting out the bitter pill
You're starting to realize that your addiction is not helping you, and instead, it's making things worse for you in many ways.
