Astrobrite Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

i said that i could
i said that i would
if you want
if you want
to give me a chance with you

i still cannot hope
all the real soul that you have

all the time
all the world
that you can do is
somewhere without you

i said that you took
i can't believe all
that you want
to become
is all seen without you

i'll crash into
you once
i want to
be nothing

that you can
alone with the wave too

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Astrobrite's song "Crasher" seem to be exploring the themes of unrequited love and missed opportunities. The singer in the song is expressing a desire to be with someone they care about, but they do not feel confident that they can live up to the other person's expectations. The lines "i said that i could / i said that i would / if you want / if you want / to give me a chance with you" suggest that the singer has made promises to the other person but is unsure if they can deliver.

The next lines "i still cannot hope / all the real soul that you have / all the time / all the world / that you can do is / somewhere without you" further emphasize the singer's uncertainty and feelings of inadequacy. They seem to be acknowledging that the other person holds something valuable ("all the real soul that you have"), but they cannot access it or be a part of it ("somewhere without you").

The chorus of the song expresses a desire to "crash into" the other person and be with them, but also a sense of resignation that this may not be possible. The line "i'll crash into / you once / i want to / be nothing / that you can / alone with the wave too" suggests that the singer wants to take a chance and try to connect with the other person, but they also acknowledge the possibility that the other person may not want or need them.
