Crossroads
Crisis In Victory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time for me to stand and strive
I'll sell my soul just to not be unknown
Through these words I will ten fold
I will live ten fold
I'd sacrifice everything that I love
Lungs
I'd sell my soul
I'd give my whole life
Embrace the dark
Forsake the sun light
I'd give up everything that I love
I want it all
My soul is sold
I will not be left unknown
I would give up everything
I would do what ever it takes
To feel like I'm on top of the
World
I'd sacrifice everything that I love
To scream my heart out at the top of my lungs
I'd sell my soul
I'd give my whole life
Embrace the dark
Forsake the sun light
I'd give up everything that I love
I want it all
My soul is sold
I'll raise my hands to the sky and scream your name
I'll slam my fist to the ground bargain my life for fame
Raise your hand to the sky and scream my name
Slam your fist to the ground bargain your life for fame
Sell me your souls give me your whole life
Embrace the dark and forsake the sunlight.
Give up everything that you love
You have to fall to have it all
I'd sell my soul
I'd give my whole life
Embrace the dark
Forsake the sun light
I'd give up everything that I love
I want it all
My soul is sold
I've sold my soul
For an eternity
I've sold my soul
For fucking everything
The lyrics to Crisis In Victory's song "Crossroads" speak to the desire to achieve greatness and recognition, even if it means sacrificing everything that is held dear. The singer confesses that they cannot be satisfied with their current life and that it is time to take a stand and strive for more. They are willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means selling their soul, to avoid being unknown. Through their words and actions, they hope to make an impact - ten fold.
The repeated lines "I'd sell my soul, I'd give my whole life, embrace the dark, forsake the sunlight" emphasize the extreme lengths to which the singer is willing to go to achieve their dreams. They are willing to give up everything they love, including the light and goodness in their life, to achieve success. The singer desires to feel like they are on top of the world and will raise their hands to the sky and scream to make it known. Yet, they also call out to others to do the same, to sacrifice and give everything, to fall in line and sell their souls, just as they had.
The song acknowledges the harsh reality that success is not always easy or righteous. It raises questions about the price of fame and recognition, and the lengths that we are willing to go to obtain it.

@Hillsgurl
I met Craig yesterday! When ETF walked to the signing table, i was first in line and he gave me a hug! He's so nice :)
@the.ghost.behind.u
Took a pic with me at a bar n actually talked to me for like 8-10mins. Nice guy
@Dusty_Droid
I'm sorry Craig is one of my favorite singers but I can't take him seriously with that mustache I laughed so hard when he came on
@OddJobKid99
Well first of all you're wrong, that mustache is fantastic
But also, it fits the video very well because from what I gather the song is about selling your soul to Satan for fame (as is everything titled "crossroads") and Craig plays the part of the Devil, telling the singer of CIV to sell his soul. And a lot of the time, the Devil is depicted as having some sort of handlebar mustache. So even if the mustache sucked, it fits the part well
