CLAMU from (.5) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't get me wrong, my love
Don't give up the path
It can get dark you know
When you say
That heaven was meant
For others, not for us
For those fresh and young
Their future is still a shining light
Stay here
Keep the flow my dear
Give it one more chance
Worries disappear
You were down
Somewhere I can't find you
Just take my hand
It's unreal
This dream's unreal
I've been waiting at the crossroads
Pouring rain on my clothes
It's so easy for you
Just to say all is over dear
You're so tough my love
But you can't take it all
When the night
Falls beside you
And the moon is
The only light we can see
I'll be there
As warmth surrounds you
Just take my hand
Don't get lost, my love
Don't get lost
Don't get lost
Don't get lost
I've been waiting at the crossroads
Pouring rain on my clothes
It's so easy for you
Just to say all is over dear
You're so tough my love
But you can't take it all
When the night
Falls beside you
And the moon is
The only light we can see
I'll be there
As warmth surrounds you
Don't get lost, my love
Cause you can't take it all
The lyrics of CLAMU's "Crossroad" encapsulate a poignant sense of longing and emotional turmoil within a romantic relationship. At the outset, the singer seems to be addressing their lover, urging them to reconsider their feelings and choices. The phrase “Don’t get me wrong, my love” suggests a plea for understanding, indicating that the singer feels misunderstood or perhaps underappreciated in the relationship. The lyrics pivot to a message of hope and resilience, highlighting that despite the challenges they face—“it can get dark you know”—there's still a path forward. The singer emphasizes the notion that despair and a sense of unworthiness can cloud one's perception of the future, as seen in the lines about heaven being meant for "others." This metaphor implies that the lovers might be feeling disconnected from their hopes or dreams, suggesting a larger societal narrative about youth, potential, and the pressures that come with them.
The song further explores the depths of emotional struggle and vulnerability through imagery of darkness and light. The singer contrasts the bright future that "fresh and young" individuals may envision with the grim realities that they currently face. The invitation to "stay here," coupled with “give it one more chance,” serves as a testimony to the singer's unwavering support for their partner. Here, the lyrics evoke a sense of shared struggle; they are inviting their lover to reengage with their relationship despite its difficulties. The notion of worries disappearing is a powerful sentiment that signifies hope and encourages resilience in the face of adversity; it speaks to the comforting bonds that can emerge from collective challenges, urging the partner to remain steadfast and not to succumb to despair.
As the narrative unfolds, the imagery deepens with references to isolation and the inevitability of change. Waiting at the crossroads while “pouring rain on my clothes” portrays a sense of longing and loneliness, encapsulating a moment of uncertainty and reflection. The crossroads symbolically represents a pivotal moment in their journey together, where decisions must be made, and paths taken. The mention of the other partner finding it easier to declare an end to the relationship, while they themselves seem to grapple with complex emotions, infuses the lyrics with an undercurrent of frustration and hurt. The recurring line “you’re so tough my love,” suggests admiration mixed with a sense of incredulity; while the partner may appear strong on the surface, the singer knows the depth of their vulnerability. This creates an intimate context where the singer wishes to act as a source of comfort, offering their partnership as a beacon during tumultuous times.
The concluding sections of the lyrics resonate with themes of unwavering support and companionship. The singer reassures their lover that they will stand by them even in the bleakest of circumstances—“when the night falls beside you.” The moon, a recurring symbol of guidance and illumination in darkness, serves as a metaphor for the singer's presence in the relationship. As they echo the exhortation “don’t get lost, my love,” it reinforces a plea for connection and reassurance. The repetition of this idea underscores a profound emotional bond while also acknowledging the challenges they face both individually and collectively. The lyrics beautifully encapsulate the tension between despair and hope—despite feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of love and life, there exists a promise of togetherness. Ultimately, "Crossroad" becomes not just a narrative about romantic challenges but a universal reflection on love, resilience, and the importance of holding onto one another amidst adversity.
