Crazy
รยฏยถรป(Seal) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a church, by the face,
He talks about the people going under.

Only child know...

A man decides after seventy years,
That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door.
While those around him criticize and sleep...
And through a fractal on a breaking wall,
I see you my friend, and touch your face again.
Miracles will happen as we trip.

But we're never gonna survive, unless...
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless...
We are a little...

Cray... Cray... Cray...

... Crazy yellow people walking through my head.
One of them's got a gun, to shoot the other one.
And yet together they were friends at school
Ohh, get it, get it, get it, get it no no!

If all were there when we first took the pill,
Then maybe, then maybe, then maybe, then maybe...
Miracles will happen as we speak.

But we're never gonna survive unless...
We get a little crazy.
No we're never gonna survive unless...
We are a little...
Crazy...
No no, never survive, unless we get a little... Bit...

Oh, a little bit...
Oh, a little bit...

Oh...
Oh...

Amanda decides to go along after seventeen years...

Oh darlin...
In a sky full of people, only some want to fly,
Isn't that crazy?
In a world full of people, only some want to fly,
Isn't that crazy?
Crazy...
In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly,
Ain't that crazy?
Oh babe... Oh darlin...
In a world full of people there's only some want to fly,
Isn't that crazy?
Isn't that crazy... Isn't that crazy... Isn't that crazy...

Ohh...
But we're never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy.. Crazy..
No we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little... Crazy..
But we're never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy.. Crazy..
No we're never gonna to survive unless, we are a little.. Crazy..
No no, never survive unless, we get a little bit...

And then you see things
The size
Of which you've never known before

They'll break it

Someday...

Only child know....

Them things
The size
Of which you've never known before

Someday...
Someway...
Someday...
Someway...
Someday...




Someway...
Someday...

Overall Meaning

The song "Crazy" by Seal is a powerful commentary on the struggles of modern society to find meaning and purpose in a world that often seems confusing and overwhelming. The lyrics are dense and full of metaphor, but at their core, they express a deep yearning for connection and understanding. The opening lines of the song set the scene in a church, with "He" (presumably the preacher) talking about "the people going under." This is a powerful metaphor for the ways in which people can feel lost and adrift in the world, struggling to find their way forward.


The next lines, "Only child know..." suggest that this feeling of isolation and disconnection is a universal experience, one that can only be truly understood by those who have experienced it for themselves. The song then moves into a series of powerful imagery, including a man who has spent seventy years searching for meaning, and the idea of "miracles" happening as we "trip" through life. The chorus is simple but effective, expressing the idea that in order to survive in a chaotic world, we need to be a little bit "crazy" ourselves.


The song continues with more powerful metaphors, including "crazy yellow people walking through my head," and a group of friends who turn on each other despite their past closeness. Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing and frustration, a feeling that the world is not quite right and that we are all struggling to find our way forward. Yet in the end, the message is clear: we need to be a little bit "crazy" if we are going to survive.
