Life In A Fast Lane

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm leavin' my place, now it's your fight
Are you cryin', are you cryin', you don't need to cry
That's what you say and you think that counts
This is all for you
This is the life in a fast lane
Can you tell me what you are doin' here
Give it up, give it up, don't you give it up
That's what I say but it's not true
One second one minute one hour or just a day
How long does it take 'till you're goin' back home
You ain't got nothin' for me
The first verse of the song "Life In A Fast Lane" by myballoon seems to be about leaving someone behind and moving on. The repetition of "it's alright" could indicate that the person leaving is trying to reassure themselves or the person they are leaving that everything will be okay. They acknowledge that the person left behind will have to fight their own battle. The line "Are you cryin', are you cryin', you don't need to cry" could be interpreted as the person reassuring their loved one that they don't need to be sad because they will be fine. However, the next line "That's what you say and you think that counts" suggests that the person left behind may not believe these reassurances.
The chorus of the song talks about the life in a fast lane, which could be about living life on the edge or living without regret. The singer seems to be questioning the listener's purpose of being there and implies that they should give up if they are not ready for this fast-paced lifestyle. The second verse is about time and how it flies by quickly. The singer seems to be asking how long it will take for the person left behind to move on and go back home. The last line "You ain't got nothin' for me" could suggest that the person has moved on and doesn't need anything from the person they left behind.
