Faster
M.S.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They better stop now
(Yeah)
Why are you looking down
Why are you trying now
(Yeah)
Keep it cool
Oh, keep it cool
(Keep it cool, keep it cool you are not a fool)
You cannot keep on walking all day
Why don't you stop getting in my way
I'm just getting faster
Just don't run to your master
I need to get out
You will see me waving up the violent sky
Keep it cool, oh
Keep it cool
You are not a fool
Keep it cool, oh
Keep it cool
You are not a fool
(You are just good to go)
You ran out of time
We ran out of time
Always running on fumes
Always running on fumes
Too close to the Sun
Why you gotta be cool
Why you gotta be cool
Why you gotta be cool
Why you gotta be cool
Where's your pride
Again, where's your pride now
With your eyes shining like a star
People trying to fly
Go
Down
One at a time
In M.S.P's song "FASTER", the lyrics imply that the singer is frustrated with the people around them who appear to be content with their current state of being, while the singer is constantly striving for more. The question, "Why are they smiling now?" suggests that the singer doesn't understand why people would be satisfied with what they have accomplished, and it creates a sense of envy in the singer. The lyrics that follow, "Keep it cool, oh / Keep it cool / You are not a fool," imply that the singer recognizes that being overly impatient or angry is not productive and that they must remain calm and assured.
The chorus, "I'm just getting faster / Just don't run to your master / I need to get out / You will see me waving up the violent sky," suggest that the singer is trying to accomplish something significant and is not going to let anyone or anything stand in their way. They are determined to keep pushing forward and to soar higher, potentially even to the point of reaching the "violent sky". The line "Always running on fumes / Too close to the Sun" suggests that this determination comes with risks, and that the singer may be pushing themselves too hard.
The repeated questions of "Why you gotta be cool / Where's your pride" suggest that the singer sees these traits as crucial to achieving success and wonders why others around them don't value them as much. The final line, "One at a time," creates a sense of determination and perseverance, implying that the singer will continue pushing forward, even if it means doing so alone.

Yourself is incredible too. Touches a raw nerve with me a few times.
Your ritual everyday
A mild shower soak in aftershave
Best clothes do your best
Look in the mirror go on
Belittle yourself yourself yourself
Belittle yourself yourself yourself
[Chorus]
You go on day after day
Dreaming on a lie
That you keep locked inside
Of yourself
Yourself
Yourself
Of yourself
Yourself
Yourself
[Verse 2]
Can you sleep tonight
Cast aside for some pouting young pup
Sink into a slurred veneer
Alcoholic haze so now
Least you can like yourself yourself
Least you can like yourself yourself
[Chorus]
You go on day after day
Reservoirs of guilt
That your fixed grin always hides
And yourself
Yourself
Yourself
Of yourself
Yourself
Yourself
And yourself
Yourself
Yourself
Of yourself
Yourself
Yourself
[Verse 3]
You look at ads all day
Everyone is perfect and you're so lame
Free scent burns your skin
But no smell can really cover sin
Too many teenage holes to fill
Too many teenage holes to fill
[Chorus]
You go on day after day
Speak to your despised
Blanking your loved ones
And yourself
Yourself
Yourself
And yourself
Yourself
Yourself
And yourself
