Faster
Reb Fountain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to go faster can't find the time
You told me my flower would sour the wine
Drank from my chalice took what was mine
If she stared hard she could see a lot of things

You were famous I was young
Roosting birds fall drunk on the plum
Man killed the bird with the bird killed the song
Sorrows come in battalions all wounds to be sung
Sweet oils bid her welcome flowers full of perfume

Mary and Isis embrace with the bloom
I can't go on telling you lies
Some men pluck roses some take to the sky




But I see many feathers just a stones throw
You can't catch a comet she's moving too slow

Overall Meaning

The song "Faster" by Reb Fountain is a complex track with profound, reflective lyrics. It seems like the singer of the song is stuck in a time warp where he wants to move faster, but he can't find the time to do so. The opening line of the song, "I want to go faster, can't find the time," indicates the singer's desire to speed up his life, but he seems to be struggling with it. Life seems to be moving too slowly for him.


The second line, "You told me my flower would sour the wine," sounds like the singer is being warned that his actions could have consequences in the future. He could be making mistakes by moving too fast, leading to negative outcomes. The third line, "Drank from my chalice took what was mine," seems to be about someone taking advantage of the singer's weakness or vulnerability.


The fourth line, "If she stared hard she could see a lot of things," might be about the ability of people to see through the singer's facade and his intentions. The singer then goes on to talk about how things used to be when he was younger, and how his youthfulness and naivety probably contributed to some of the mistakes he has made. Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the consequences of our actions and how we navigate through them.
