The silent stray inertia,
No burden on my back.
No determinance, no ballast,
No chance of looking back.
It doesn't matter what's ahead,
It's time I'll hit it hard.
No fixing my position,
No sign of ritard.
It's the fast life,
There's nothing I can do.
The fast life,
Suck it in and follow through.
The fast life,
Just learning as I go.
You might call it careless,
But this fast life
Is all I've ever known.
Like a wispy feather
Defying gravity,
Or a rolling cobble
In the middle of the stream,
Propelled by a ghost force
That never shows his face,
Increase the ante
Of this perpetual pace.
It's the fast life,
There's nothing I can do.
The fast life,
Suck it in and follow through.
The fast life,
Just learning as I go.
You might call it careless,
But this fast life
Is all I've ever known.
Ever since the day
I came out of the womb,
My head was always bouncing
Off the walls in the room,
Always scratching gravel,
Covering new ground.
No matter how hard they tried,
They couldn't pin me down.
It's the fast life,
There's nothing I can do.
The fast life,
Suck it in and follow through.
The fast life,
Just learning as I go.
You might call it careless,
But this fast life
Is all I've ever known.
Yeah, it's all I've ever known.

I think this song is about the human condition. We are born into this world completely out of control and propelled through time without a true understanding or a true plan of action, just reacting. And yet as time goes on we still just move on and don't really question what or who we are and what is going on. There is a sense of normalcy, and after all, it's all we've ever known.

I think this song is either about A: Living an energetic life or B: about living in a place where you grow up faster then you're meant to.
