Crossbreed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I push it away
This is not what you wanted
I keep on pushing away
Without you
Sometimes I feel sometimes I don't
This time I'm lost inside
This time I crossed the line
To end this journey you must disengage
And let these dreams subside
A song never leads me
Only the words I have spoken of have meaning
And I will deliver you to those
Free of emotions take me
When I
I push it away
This is not what you wanted
I keep on pushing away
Without you
Sometimes I feel sometimes I don't
This time I'm lost inside
I guess I should have tried
This time I crossed the line
To end this journey you must disengage
And let these dreams subside
A song never leads me
Only the words I have spoken of have meaning
And I will deliver you to those
Free of emotions take me
A song never leads me
Only the words I have spoken of have meaning
And I will deliver you to those
Free of emotions take me
The lyrics to Crossbreed's song Emote seem to describe pushing someone away and struggling with the possibility of losing them. The words 'this is not what you wanted' suggest a lack of communication and understanding between the two individuals. The singer seems to be lost in their own emotions, unsure of how to proceed. At times they feel, and at times they don't, implying a sense of confusion and inconsistency.
The line "To end this journey you must disengage and let these dreams subside" may refer to the idea of moving on from a relationship and letting go of unrealistic expectations. The repetition of "a song never leads me" could be interpreted as the singer's mantra, reiterating the importance of their words rather than the melody itself. Finally, the phrase "Free of emotions take me" suggests that the singer is tired of the emotional turmoil and is ready to let go.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of inner turmoil and reluctance to open up to someone. The repetition of key phrases highlights the struggle that the singer is going through, trying to push someone away but also feeling the loss that may result from that.

When I
Whenever I
I push it away
I avoid confronting it
This is not what you wanted
This is not your desire or expectation
I keep on pushing away
I continually avoid dealing with it
Without you
In your absence
Sometimes I feel sometimes I don't
I experience conflicting emotions
This time I'm lost inside
This time, I am confused and disoriented
I guess I should have tried
I suppose I should have made an effort
This time I crossed the line
This time, I went too far
To end this journey you must disengage
To conclude this experience, you must disconnect from it
And let these dreams subside
And allow these aspirations to fade away
A song never leads me
Music does not guide me
Only the words I have spoken of have meaning
Only the expressions I have verbalized have significance
And I will deliver you to those
And I will transmit them to you
Free of emotions take me
Detached and unemotional, let me go
