Crashed
Daughtry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I was movin' at the speed of sound
Head spinnin', couldn't find my way around, and
Didn't know that I was goin' down, yeah, yeah
Where I been; well, it's all a blur
What I was lookin' for I'm not sure
Too late and didn't see it coming, yeah, yeah

Then I crashed into you
And I went up in flames
Could've been the death of me
But then you breathed your breath in me
Then I crashed into you
Like a runaway train
You will consume me
But I can't walk away

Somehow I couldn't stop myself
I just wanted to know how it felt
Too strong, I couldn't hold on, yeah, yeah
Now I'm just tryin' to make some sense
Out of how and why this happened
Where we're headed
There's just no knowin', yeah, yeah

And then I crashed into you
And I went up in flames
Could've been the death of me
But then you breathed your breath in me
Then I crashed into you
Like a runaway train
You will consume me
But I can't walk away

Your face, your eyes
Are burnt into me
You save me, you gave me
Just what I need
Oh, just what I need

And then I crashed into you
And I went up in flames
Could've been the death of me
But then you breathed your breath in me
Then I crashed into you
Like a runaway train
You will consume me
But I can't walk away

Then I crashed into you
And then I crashed into you
And then I crashed into you
And then I crashed into you
Then I crashed into you
Like a runaway train
You will consume me
But I can't walk away

Overall Meaning

Daughtry's "Crashed" is a love song that speaks about being drawn into an intense attraction so strong that it feels almost out of control. The lyrics describe the intensity of the singer's emotions, and the thrill of the experience. In the beginning, the singer describes being lost and unsure, overwhelmed by the speed of life. He admits that he wasn't sure of what he was looking for, but then he crashed into his lover, and his life changed.


The singer describes feeling like he's gone up in flames at the moment of impact, but instead of being consumed by the fire, he's saved by his lover's "breath." Even as he acknowledges that this intense attraction could be dangerous, he can't help but desire it. The lyrics speak of the irresistible pull of love even when we know it might not be good for us. Still, we can't walk away from it.


The chorus repeats the idea of crashing into his lover, like a runaway train, knowing that the relationship will consume him, but unable to resist it. The singer is so overwhelmed by his love for his partner that he can't help but be drawn back into it, again and again, despite the potential for harm. This emotional force is represented in the repetition of the lyrics in the chorus, and the intensity and passion of the delivery of the words.

Well I was moving at the speed of sound.
Head-spinning, couldn't find my way around, and
Didn't know that I was going down.
Yeah, yeah.
Where I've been, well it's all a blur.
What I was looking for, I'm not sure.
Too late and didn't see it coming.
Yeah, yeah.

And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.

Somehow, I couldn't stop myself.
I just wanted to know how it felt.
Too strong, I couldn't hold on.
Yeah, yeah.
Now I'm just tryin' to make some sense
Out of how and why this happened.
Where we're heading, there's just no knowing.
Yeah, yeah.

And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.

From your face, your eyes
Are burning to me.
You saved me, you gave me
Just what I need.
Oh, just what I need.

And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.

And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.
