Crash and Burn Girl
Robyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the shit that you do
You don't even know what's up
But soon it all comes crashing down on you
Since we're on the subject
Tell me why your name is in the dictionary when I look up idiot
Check yourself it's very necessary
Stop listen what's that sound
Supersonic spinning 'round
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Crash and burn girl
Going down down down down down
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
You should have a sticker on you
Saying warning keep out
You're the kinda girl that'll mess you up for
Life that's smashing up his car
Crying on his doorstep, waiting in the rain all night
And did you tell him you're the kind that never show your ugly side
Until you sticking like glue
Stop listen what's that sound
Supersonic spinning 'round
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Crash and burn girl
Going down down down down down
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
It's just that every time you mess it up like that I see myself in you
I've been there too
And there's so many times I stand beside and see what you're going through
Where you headed too
Stand by!
Crash and burn girl
Going down down down down down
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Crash and burn girl
You keep on banging you head girl your shirt's all red
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Crash and burn girl
You keep on banging you head girl your shirt's all red
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Going down, going down, going down, oh no
You're going down, going down
You'll crash and burn girl
The song "Crash and Burn Girl" by Robyn is a blunt and honest critique of someone who keeps making mistakes in their relationships, causing themselves to crash and burn. The first verse sets the tone for the song, with Robyn singing that she should write a song about the person she's addressing in the lyrics, because they are constantly causing chaos with their behavior. They are unaware of the consequences of their actions until everything inevitably falls apart, and Robyn sees that they are headed for disaster.
In the chorus, Robyn urges the person to take a step back and recognize what they are doing to themselves. Despite the warnings and the evidence of their destructive tendencies, they keep repeating the same patterns over and over again. The imagery of falling and hitting the ground emphasizes the consequences of these actions in a painfully physical way. The second verse describes the person further, painting a picture of someone who is only interested in short-term pleasure and doesn't care about the long-term effects of their behavior.
Overall, "Crash and Burn Girl" is a warning to anyone who recognizes themselves in the lyrics. Robyn doesn't sugarcoat the situation, and she doesn't offer any easy solutions, but she does offer empathy and understanding for the person who keeps self-sabotaging.

I should write a song about you
I'm so fed up with you that I wanna write a song about how terrible you are
And all the shit that you do
All the messed-up things you do to me and others
You don't even know what's up
You're clueless about the consequences of your actions
But soon it all comes crashing down on you
Eventually, you'll have to face the music for all the damage you've caused
Since we're on the subject
Since we're already talking about your problems
Tell me why your name is in the dictionary when I look up idiot
You're such a fool that your name should be in the dictionary as a synonym for 'idiot'
Check yourself it's very necessary
You need to seriously reflect on your behavior and the impact it has on others
Stop listen what's that sound
Pay attention to what's happening around you
Supersonic spinning 'round
Your life is like a chaotic, uncontrollable whirlwind
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
You don't realize the consequences of your actions until they smack you in the face
Crash and burn girl
You're headed for disaster
Going down down down down down
You're sinking lower and lower, with no end in sight
You should have a sticker on you
You're so terrible that people should be warned to stay away from you
Saying warning keep out
Communicating clearly and directly that you're dangerous
You're the kinda girl that'll mess you up for
You're the kind of person who will ruin someone else's life
Life that's smashing up his car
You'd even go so far as to destroy someone else's property
Crying on his doorstep, waiting in the rain all night
You're the kind of person who's so desperate and pathetic that you'll beg for someone's affection, even if it means suffering in the process
And did you tell him you're the kind that never show your ugly side
You're good at hiding your true self and manipulating people into thinking you're a good person
Until you sticking like glue
Until you've ensnared someone in your web of deceit and you have complete control over them
It's just that every time you mess it up like that I see myself in you
I'm starting to see that we have a lot in common, and it's making me question my own actions and behavior
I've been there too
I've made my own mistakes and bad decisions in the past
And there's so many times I stand beside and see what you're going through
I've watched you suffer the consequences of your own actions
Where you headed too
I'm curious to see where your self-destructive behavior will take you
Crash and burn girl
You're headed for disaster
You keep on banging you head girl your shirt's all red
You're so stubborn and self-destructive that you keep making the same mistakes, even though they're clearly hurting you
Going down, going down, going down, oh no
You're spiraling out of control and there's no stopping it
You're going down, going down
Your fate is sealed, and you'll eventually hit rock bottom
You'll crash and burn girl
Your downfall is inevitable and it'll be painful to watch

This was a big hit in Europe mid 2000s. Such a great pop house music playing at lounges!
Miss European pop/house music. Too bad they weren’t all internationally popular- people are missing out. Hollywood Entertainment is only like fraction of what actually good content out there.

It should have been released internationally, favorite song off her self-titled album.
