Catalog Theory
If it’s the first thing one says but part of nothing after that, the opposite is meant.
It’s like looking at a Monet in grayscale.

“Goes cruising just as fast as she can now…”
Life is like playing whack-a-mole, with pesky issues popping up, needing to be beaten down, but too fast and too spread out to all be covered without being overwhelmed.
“…But you can come along with me / ‘Cause we got a lot of things to do now…”
Whack-a-mole is a game.
I’m going to have fun.
“…Fun, fun, fun / ‘Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away…”

I suppose it could be a wedge from a rice krispie treat wheel, but that still begs the question.
As much as I love being bribed with food, even doorstop/rice krispie treats, it feels jarring to have the traditional restaurant business model warped by giving people free food to leave, even though there’s nothing fallacious given the double negation.
“They get along much better now that she’s her ex-mother-in-law.”

“I know this room / I've walked this floor…”
Recognition.
“…I did my best / It wasn't much…”
There is a danger in superlativity becoming so accustomed that it is mistaken for ordinary.
“…I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch…”
Apologies are used as much for what couldn’t happen as for what wasn’t done.
“…I've told the truth / I didn't come…”
Praised be.
“…Hallelujah…”

“The rush of being home in rapid fading…”
The caveman, first discovering the adjective, realized that instead of saying “Sky bluething.” or “Man tallthing.”, they could say “Sky blue.” and “Man tall.”.
“…Waiting for the light to come back, / But hid in talk I knew…”
Imagine their wonder when they discovered verbs.
“…A wise man's tools are analogies and puzzles…”
