Overall Meaning

The song "Bones" by Crumb is a haunting, dreamlike ballad that seems to explore themes of obsession, longing, and decay. The opening lines of the song set the tone for what's to come, with the singer expressing how the object of their desire is driving them to the brink of madness. The reference to "bones" in the chorus suggests a deeper, more primal level of attraction, one that goes beyond physical beauty or even personality traits.


As the song progresses, the imagery becomes more surreal and fragmented. The singer describes how they see their love interest in their daydreams, almost as if they are a figment of their imagination. The line "nobody knows you it can't be" suggests that this person is elusive and mysterious, perhaps even unknown to others. The final verse introduces a new character, a woman who has come to the singer's aid when they were drowning. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's emotional state, with the woman representing a lifeline that saved them from despair.


Overall, "Bones" is a mesmerizing and enigmatic song that leaves plenty of room for interpretation. It's a testament to Crumb's talent as a songwriter that they are able to convey so much emotion and meaning with such spare, evocative lyrics.

Baby I want you to know that you're really
Driving me crazy
And now a thousand tears are pouring
Down to my toes

Baby you're just in my head and my daydreams
Nobody knows you it can't be
Cuz when I think of you I swear babe
I can feel your bones

Lately you are the first one to find me
Drowning and drowning I can't swim
Your waves are too big and I am
Falling asleep
