Crash Rickshaw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Found out that there's nothing there
So I ask myself
Where do I go from here?
No one knows my heart or where I need to be
I can't sit yet
Stay contentment, please don't leave my heart
Peace of mind don't go yet, I've traveled far
Because life is precious when it's understood
I hit the road
With Psychology and Intellect running
Under my
None of it matters when I'm
So what is true?
They all can't be
Then I found the truth
He was right before my eyes
Now I have contentment
It fills my heart
Peace of mind consumes me
It wasn't far
As I looked to Jesus
I found who's good
My life is precious now it's understood
The lyrics of Crash Rickshaw's song When can be interpreted as a journey of self-discovery and finding one's true purpose in life. The first verse, "Reached the top, found out that there's nothing there, so I ask myself, where do I go from here?" suggests that the singer has achieved something they thought was important, but as they reach it, they realize it wasn't fulfilling. The line "no one knows my heart or where I need to be" conveys a sense of confusion and feeling lost. However, the singer doesn't want to give up on the peace of mind and contentment they've found, hence the plea "Stay contentment, please don't leave my heart, peace of mind don't go yet."
The second verse, "Over many mountains to find what's good because life is precious when it's understood" can be interpreted as the journey towards enlightenment or spirituality. The lines "With Psychology and Intellect running, under my feet, none of it matters when I'm incomplete" suggest that the singer has been relying on logical thinking to find fulfillment, but it hasn't been working. The question "So what is true? They all can't be" further emphasizes the confusion and the need for clarity.
However, the last verse suggests that the singer has found what they were looking for in Jesus. The line "He was right before my eyes" implies that the answer was always there, but the singer was looking in the wrong places. Now they have contentment and peace of mind, and their life is precious because they've finally understood what's truly important.
Overall, the lyrics of When can be interpreted as a journey towards self-discovery, enlightenment, and spiritual fulfillment. It conveys a sense of confusion, loss, and the search for meaning, but ultimately, it ends with a message of hope and clarity.
