A Radiant Composition
Crash Coordinates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Crash Coordinates' "A Radiant Composition" suggest a story of lost love and regret. The begining of the song describes the rise of the person and the importance of their voice being heard. However, they stood on the edge just to let it out because the woman they loved only stayed for a moment. They wished they had known this in advance, but now they feel like they are going through the motions. The woman only brought them down until they finally saw that she had planned it out all along. She's like the grim reaper in the singer, haunting them and holding them back.
The next verse suggests that if the person singing knew then what they now know, they would never have let the woman in. But she moved them and convinced them that she would only stay for a moment. Nobody can bend the singer much closer because the woman is already drifting away on the oceans of memories and pain. The singer is so sick and tired of wondering when the woman will leave but at the same time is afraid of being alone.
The chorus repeats that the woman's presence is pulling them down and they are drifting away on oceans of memories and fate. The song ends with the singer stating that it's been a long time since they've seen the woman who tried to break them down and fill their truth with lies. They are now done with it, but both are still drifting away.
Line by Line Meaning
You rise from the ground now tall and strong your voice is heard
You have grown stronger and more confident and your voice is being heard by others
You stand on the edge just to let it out
You take risks in order to express yourself
She only stayed for the moment i wished i'd have known it but this is the way it worked out
She only stayed temporarily and I regret not realizing this earlier, but that's how things happened
And now i feel we're going through the motions because she'll only bring you down
Our relationship now feels stagnant and unfulfilling, as she is a negative influence
Until you finally see that she planned this out she's the grim reaper in me
You'll eventually realize that she had planned to hurt you all along, and her influence on me is like death
If i knew then what i know now i would have never let you in
If I had known the negative outcome, I never would have allowed you into my life
But she moved me until she said i'll only stay for the moment you won't understand it but this is the way it worked out
She had an effect on me, but then she revealed that she was only temporary and I didn't realize this would be how things would end
And not a single note can bend us closer
No musical or emotional expression will bring us closer together
Because she's drifting away on oceans of memories and fate oh she's drifting away
She is drifting away from me and the memories we shared, moved by the force of destiny
Because she'll only bring you down until you finally see that she planned this out she's the grim reaper in me
Her influence is negative and she had planned to hurt me all along, leading to my emotional downfall
And now it's been a long time since i've seen your face
It has been a significant amount of time since we last interacted
You tried to break me down and fill the truth with lies
You attempted to make me doubt myself and my perception of reality
I'm so sick and tired of wondering when you'd say that you would be leaving so now i'm done
I am exhausted from waiting for you to leave and have decided to move on
Because were drifting away on oceans of memories and fate oh were drifting away
We are growing further apart due to the influence of memories and destiny
