Something
Crosscut Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Believe in your own destiny
This gift's for you and not for me
Then you saw the eyes of your own best friend
Admiring what they see
When they appeared your dreams were dead
They won the war that you once led
They forced you back to your own island
The hopes inside your head

I wanna feel something
I wanna live
I wanna feel something
Now is it my fault that you will never fail

All feelings lost except your hate
You tried to change but oh so late
They raped your dreams again, again
So you resigned to your new fate

You lick your wounds, you stay in bed
And you camplain that they're ahead
you're so damn sure that you were right
with everything you said

I wanna feel something
I wanna live
I wanna feel something
Now is it my fault that you will never fail

Make me suffer
Under your consequence
When it's over
All your behaviour, now all your behaviour is
Wrong

I wanna feel something
I wanna live
I wanna feel something
Now is it my fault that you will never fail

Make me suffer
Under your consequence

When it's over
All your behaviour is wrong

Overall Meaning

The song "Something" by Crosscut is an emotional and introspective track that speaks to the struggles of finding purpose and meaning in life. The song touches on themes of self-doubt, jealousy, and defeat, but ultimately encourages listeners to believe in themselves and their own destiny. The opening lines of the song, "Believe in your own destiny, this gift's for you and not for me," suggest that each person has their own individual path to follow and that it is up to them to make it a success.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I wanna feel something, I wanna live," which can be interpreted as a desire to break out of a mundane and unfulfilling existence. The following lines, "Now is it my fault that you will never fail," seem to address the idea of jealousy towards others who have found success or happiness. The second verse describes the feeling of defeat and disappointment when one's dreams are crushed by others, leading to a sense of resignation in one's fate.

The bridge of the song introduces a different perspective, suggesting that the singer of the song is perhaps not blameless in their situation. The lines "Make me suffer, under your consequence, when it's over, all your behaviour is wrong" suggest that the singer is willing to accept the consequences of their actions, but also acknowledges that their behavior has contributed to their current predicament. Ultimately, the song encourages listeners to keep pushing forward and to believe in themselves, even when faced with difficult circumstances.

Line by Line Meaning

Believe in your own destiny
Have faith in what lies ahead

This gift's for you and not for me
You have a unique talent that is solely yours

Then you saw the eyes of your own best friend
Your closest friend saw the potential in you

Admiring what they see
They were in awe of your abilities

When they appeared your dreams were dead
Their admiration faded and so did your hopes

They won the war that you once led
You lost the battle against self-doubt

They forced you back to your own island
They pushed you away from your aspirations

The hopes inside your head
Your aspirations remained unfulfilled

All feelings lost except your hate
All emotions disappeared except for anger

You tried to change but oh so late
You attempted to improve yourself but it was too late

They raped your dreams again, again
Your hopes were shattered repeatedly
