Criminal
COASTL WOLF Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Minding my own business
I felt a chill in the bones
Where the neck meet lipstick
I never meant to be a victim
I didn't even know her name
Now I'm feeling all the symptoms
But the skeletons in her closet say
Criminal, she's a criminal
Oh that girl is a
Criminal, she's a criminal
I should've known she's a criminal
(I should've known better now)
I should've known she's a criminal
(I should've known better now)
The lyrics to COASTL WOLF's song "Criminal" describe the aftermath of a regrettable encounter with a mysterious woman. The singer was alone, minding his own business when he felt a chill at the back of his neck. Despite not knowing her name, he became ensnared in her web of deceit and manipulation, suffering the consequences of her actions. He acknowledges that she is a criminal, and should have known better than to get involved with her.
The lyrics suggest that the singer was targeted by a femme fatale figure, a common trope in film noir and crime fiction. The use of "lipstick" in the second line conveys a certain sensuality or danger associated with the woman's appearance. The phrase "the skeletons in her closet" implies that the woman has a dark past, and perhaps a history of preying on unsuspecting men. The singer's self-blame for being a victim is a common response to gaslighting and manipulation.

Lyrics :
In the valley, I was high, you were curious
2am, snuck inside, I wanted it so badly
My eyes locked on your lips
Hands tights around your hips
You make me wanna open up my chest
Baby, this is more than sex
See you feel it too
You know that you and I connect
But something isn't right
Phone's been blowing up all night
I'm trying to figure it out and I'm like
I don't want to hurt you
But I think it's best if we said goodbye
It's not that I don't deserve you
I just found out that you belong to another guy
I thought I finally found someone I can fight with
Someone who understands the demons that I ride with
Will I fight for you
Or will I run
Did you care for me?
Or did you open up my chest
Just to watch me bleed
Say it's more than sex
So I would believe
That you and I were tight
Something isn't right
Trying to figure it out and I'm like
I don't want to hurt you
But I think it's best if we said goodbye
It's not that I don't deserve you
I just found out that you belong to another guy
And I'm not the type to sit by on the sidelines
Thinking around the god
Got something to hide
Oh my pride
Is way too high for this shit
I don't want no part of it
No I don't want no
(I don't wanna-)
(I don't wanna hurt-)
I don't wanna hurt you
But I think it's best if we said goodbye
If we cut our ties
Baby know my lies
Cause you know I deserve you
