The Speed of Life and Pain in Juice WRLD's 'Fast'

Juice WRLD's song 'Fast' delves into the rapid pace of life and the personal struggles the artist faces amidst his success. The lyrics express a sense of urgency and the fleeting nature of time, as Juice WRLD reflects on living life at a breakneck speed. The repetition of 'fast, fast, fast, fast' emphasizes the relentless pace at which he feels his life is moving, a common sentiment in the modern world where everything seems to happen at an accelerated rate.

The song also touches on the darker side of fame and fortune. Despite the luxurious lifestyle symbolized by wearing Dior, Juice WRLD admits to feeling 'bad, bad, bad, bad,' suggesting that material wealth does not equate to happiness. The mention of drug use and the line 'I'm 19 years old' highlight the artist's youth and the immense pressure he faces. The drugs and the 'life I'm involved in' are blamed for his emotional distress, indicating a struggle with the trappings of fame and the coping mechanisms he employs.

Ultimately, 'Fast' is a candid portrayal of Juice WRLD's internal conflict. He acknowledges the expectations to 'get in your bag'—to be successful and make money—but at the same time, he grapples with the emotional toll this lifestyle takes on him. The song ends on an ambiguous note, 'Story to be continued,' leaving listeners with a sense of ongoing struggle and the unresolved nature of his journey.
