Question

In the song "life in the fast lane" what does it mean when she says "faster, the lights are turning red" ?

Answer 1

I believe it is a metaphor for the need to move ever faster when the end is approaching. The song indicates a lifestyle that is not suitable and the end is portrayed as a red light. Go faster to avoid the end.

Answer 2

Maybe living on borrow time, if she beats the light she

can do so more half-butt things.

Answer 3

It means that the light is yellow, so you have to hit the gas to get through before it turns red.
