Crossroads
Belmont Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm pushing past my stitched shut lips to speak about the same old shit
Like how we're growing up but going nowhere
I'm sick of all this lust we breath but my lungs just need consistency
Yet i'm different than when you first knew me

I'm so drained from all my yelling cuz my whisper sounds the same
I've gone and changed again, changing what you thought you knew back then
I'm sore from holding back everything I mean to say to you

I'm not your day dream, please just bury me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Crossroads" by Belmont portray someone who feels like they're stuck in a rut, going nowhere, and are tired of the superficiality of their surroundings. They express frustration with the lack of consistency in the people around them, who seem to only care about fleeting pleasures and not the deeper things in life. The singer seems to have grown and changed since others knew them, but they struggle to express that to the people in their life. Instead, they feel drained from trying to communicate, as though their words are falling on deaf ears.

The singer feels like they've been holding back their true feelings and intentions for too long, and that it's just too difficult to keep pretending. They compare themselves to a daydream, as something imaginary and unattainable, and plead for someone to just "bury" them, as though they're done with the struggle of trying to find meaning or connection in a world that seems shallow.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm pushing past my stitched shut lips to speak about the same old shit
I'm finally breaking my silence to talk about the stuff we've already talked about countless times.

Like how we're growing up but going nowhere
We're aging but our life isn't moving forward, there's no progress happening.

I'm sick of all this lust we breathe but my lungs just need consistency
I'm tired of us being driven by passion but craving for something reliable and stable.

Yet I'm different than when you first knew me
I've changed over time and I'm not who you remember me to be anymore.

I'm so drained from all my yelling 'cause my whisper sounds the same
I'm exhausted from repeating myself, and now whether I yell or whisper, it doesn't make a difference anymore.

I've gone and changed again, changing what you thought you knew back then
I've transformed again and now I'm contradicting everything you know about me from the past.

I'm sore from holding back everything I mean to say to you
I'm hurting from keeping my true thoughts and feelings from you, and not expressing them.

I'm not your daydream, please just bury me
I'm not the perfect person you have imagined in your mind, so just forget about me completely.
