Crash
Call the Cops Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you wrapped around her fingernail
I feel so left out, I think you missed out
Intoxicated until the truth comes out
Here comes the let down, here comes the let down

She's telling me things, she's telling me how she wants it
She's telling me everything, she's telling me she don't want it
I'm caught up in the crash, she got me falling so fast
She's getting off on the last heart she tore apart (and crashed)
She's such a high
You know that I can't wait, can't wait to watch you crash

I never meant to ex your pictures out, I feel you left me out, I feel you left me out
I see a little bit of me in you, it should be me and you
I know you want that too

She's telling me things, she's telling me how she wants it
She's telling me everything, she's telling me she don't want it

I'm caught up in the crash, she got me falling so fast
She's getting off on the last heart she tore apart (and crashed)
She's such a high
You know that I can't wait, can't wait to watch you crash

I'm caught up in the crash, she got me falling so fast
She's getting off on the last heart she tore apart (and crashed)
She's such a high
You know that I can't wait, can't wait to watch you crash

Crash into the night together
Me and you should be together
Forever in this mess we call our own

Crash into the night together
Me and you should be forever
Forever shouldn't feel like it's too long

I'm caught up in the crash, she got me falling so fast
She's getting off on the last heart she tore apart (and crashed)
She's such a high
You know that I can't wait, can't wait to watch you crash

I'm caught up in the crash, she got me falling so fast
She's getting off on the last heart she tore apart (and crashed)
She's such a high
You know that I can't wait, can't wait to watch you crash

I'm caught up in the crash, she got me falling so fast
She's getting off on the last heart she tore apart (and crashed)
She's such a high
You know that I can't wait, can't wait to watch you crash

Crash into the night together
Can't wait to watch you crash




Me and you should be together
Can't wait to watch you crash

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Call the Cops' "Crash" describe a relationship that has gone sour because of a third party. The singer appears to have been cast aside by their partner in favor of someone else, someone who has taken control of the situation, and has made the singer feel left out. The third party, presumably, manipulates the situation by intoxicating the singer's partner so that they reveal their real intentions. This leads to a let down, followed by a crash that the singer is caught up in. Overwhelmed, they watch the third party enjoy the thrill of tearing apart the hearts of others, creating a mess for everyone involved. Despite this, the singer feels an inexplicable attraction toward their partner, and both want to return to each other, even if forever may feel too long.


"Crash" deals with themes of jealousy, infidelity, and emotional manipulation. The singer feels helpless as they watch their love interest become another person's puppet, feeling left out and replaced. The lyrics emphasize that some people thrive on breaking hearts, while others are caught up in the inevitable crash that results from such a situation. Despite the turmoil, the singers feel conflicted, as they long for their partner, someone they feel a connection with, despite how damaging their interactions have been for them.
