Crazy In Love
Antony / Battiato Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave I'm beggin you not to go
Call your name two or three times in a row
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
How I'm feeling and my pride
Is the one to blame
But I still, don't understand

Just how your love can do what no on else can

Got me lookin so crazy right now, your love
Got me lookin so crazy right now
Got me lookin so crazy right now, your touch
Got me lookin so crazy right now
Got me hoping you page me right now
Your kiss
Got me hoping you save me right now
Lookin so crazy, your love's got me lookin
Lookin so crazy in love
When you talk to my friends so quietly
"Who he think he is?" Look at
What you've done to me tennis shoes
Don't even need to buy a new dress
You ain't here, ain't no one else to impress
It's just the way that you knew
What I thought I knew
It's just the beat that my heart
Skips when I'm with you
But I still don't understand
Just how your love can do
What no one else can

Got me lookin so crazy right now, your love
Got me lookin so crazy right now
Got me lookin so crazy right now, your touch

Got me lookin so crazy right now
Got me hoping you page me right now
Your kiss
Got me hoping you save me right now
Lookin so crazy, your love's got me lookin
Lookin so crazy in love

Got me lookin so crazy right now, your love
Got me lookin so crazy right now
Got me lookin oh crazy right now, your touch
Got me lookin oh crazy right now
Got me hoping you save me right now
Your kiss
Got me hoping you page me right now
Lookin so crazy, you've got me lookin
Lookin so crazy in love

Ohoh crazy right now
Crazy right now

Lookin

Lookin so crazy

Got me hoping you page me right now

Lookin so crazy, your love's got me lookin
Lookin so crazy in love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Antony and Battiato's song "Crazy In Love" are complex and poetic, making it open to interpretation. The opening line, "I'm in the ocean, in the sea, the red coral caressing me," suggests a peaceful and serene feeling while being surrounded by the beauty of nature. However, it could also be interpreted as a reference to drowning, representing a feeling of being overwhelmed and lost in the vastness of life's troubles.

The second stanza, "And you need only say the word, I'll kiss you like a hummingbird," expresses a willingness to offer love and affection to someone without hesitation. The third stanza makes a statement of innocence and purity, with the line, "I've been walking for a long time, I never did commit no crime." This could be interpreted as a sense of being unjustly punished by life's hardships and never straying from the path of righteousness.

The fourth stanza, "And all my dreams, they all came true, the day I lay my head on you," expresses a feeling of fulfillment and contentment, possibly awaking from a long and painful struggle to find peace and comfort in the presence of someone they love. However, the following lines, "The day that you cracked open and died, ten black boys flew free from inside," signify a sudden and tragic loss.

The final line, "I don't know where I'm going, so I'm gonna lay down in the snow," portrays a sense of despair and loss of direction in life.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm in the ocean, in the sea
I feel lost and overwhelmed like I'm drowning in the vastness of the world

The red choral caressing me
Amidst the chaos, I find solace in the beauty of nature

And you need only say the word
I am willing to do anything for the person I love

I'll kiss you like a humming bird
I will shower you with love and affection, delicate like the flutter of a hummingbird's wings

I've been walking for a long time
Life has been a journey filled with ups and downs

I never did commit no crime
I have always tried to live an honest and authentic life

And all my dreams, they all came true
I feel blessed that all my aspirations have been fulfilled

The day I lay my head on you
The moment I found the person who completes me

The day that you cracked open and died
The day when you opened up to me and revealed your vulnerabilities

Ten black boys flew free from inside
Your confessions helped you release the demons that were holding you back, clearing the path for a new beginning

I don't know where I'm going so
I am unsure of my future path and purpose

I'm gonna lay down in the snow
I am ready to embrace the uncertainty and take a moment to reflect on my journey so far
