It was first played in Philadelphia, PA on the North American Tour in early 2018.
COIN vocalist/keyboardist Chase Lawrence said in an interview with another publication:
“Hearing so many scream ‘Talk Too Much,’ we knew we had to write an even louder chorus. The chorus melody came in a literal dream. The story came from a fan who was in a car accident on the way to our show, but she still showed up in her near totaled, headlight hanging sedan. Thank god she was ok! In that moment, the idea hit me: we don’t need anything as long as we’re together. No car, no money, the world is burning… but if we have each other, everything is perfect.”
When asked about the evolution of the bands sound in an interview with Ink Magazine, lead singer Chase Lawrence said:
"I think we’ve already shifted quite a bit without even realizing it, but there are still things that are still innately us, for lack of a better term, that come from the origin of the band. I mean ‘Crash My Car’ could have been on the first EP."
Crash My Car
Coin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way she moves make you miserable
All eyes on the golden girl
She's gonna tell you, gonna tell you, gonna tell you that you're too sweet
Swan dive to the concrete floor
The pavement never felt so warm
One look and you already know
She's gonna cut you, gonna cut you, gonna cut you, cut you real deep
Baby, I'm freaking out
Lay it all on me
Anything you want
You can crash my car tonight
Go out wasting all my time and money
I love the way you're breaking my heart
And I can't stand to see you leaving lonely
I'll drive you home at the end of the night
I'll drive you home at the end of the night
Dead last as a drama queen
But I found myself in the front seat of her car
She's bad blood royalty, but that's fine
Yeah, that's alright with me
Baby, I'm freaking out
Lay it all on me
Light me up and lay me down
And love me like you shouldn't now
You can crash my car tonight
Go out wasting all my time and money
I love the way you're breaking my heart
And I can't stand to see you leaving lonely (lonely)
I'll drive you home at the end of the night
I'll drive you home at the end of the night
You can crash my car tonight
Go out wasting all my time and money
I love the way you're breaking my heart
And I can't stand to see you leaving lonely (lonely)
Crash my car, take all my money and run
Baby if that's what you want
(Lonely, lonely)
Crash my car, take all my money and run
Baby if that's what you want
(Lonely, lonely, oh)
The lyrics of Coin's song "Crash My Car" talk about the irresistible attraction towards someone who is going to hurt you in the end. The first verse describes the girl who captures everyone's attention and can ruin you with her cutting remarks, but the singer cannot resist her. He's freaking out but still wants her to lay it all on him, whatever it is that she wants. He is in love with the way she's breaking his heart and cannot bear the thought of her leaving lonely.
In the second verse, we learn more about the girl's personality. She's a drama queen and bad blood royalty, but the singer doesn't mind. He found himself in the front seat of her car, and that's where he wants to be, no matter the consequences. The chorus repeats the idea that he is willing to give everything for her, even if she wants to crash his car and take all his money. He will always drive her home at the end of the night.
This song explores themes of toxic relationships, the addictive power of love, and the willingness to lose everything for someone who might not be worth it. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's surrender to this destructive love while the verses paint the picture of the girl's personality and allure.
