Really Don't Want To
Crush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Catch a train anywhere. I need to take a real vacation
I'll take a plane, I don't care. I'm suffering from this alienation
There's always someplace better to be, and somewhere else to go
But you can't take me, 'cause I really don't want to

Chorus: Have you ever really looked outside? You really don't want to
You try to keep me locked inside. But I really don't want to
If you could float away from here, what would be your destination?
Let's touch the sky, and feel the air. I'm waiting for an indication.
There's always someplace better to be, and somewhere else to go
But you can't take me, 'Cause I really don't want to

Chorus:X 2

Bridge:
If you listen to me whine. I don't want to hear you cry.

There's always someplace better to be, and somewhere else to go
But you can't take me, 'Cause I really don't want to





Chorus:X2

Overall Meaning

In the song "Really Don't Want To," Crush expresses his desire to escape from the monotony and isolation of everyday life. He yearns to travel and find new experiences, but at the same time, he resists anyone's attempt to confine him. The lyrics suggest that the singer is looking for something beyond the confines of his current environment, and he is willing to take drastic measures to find it. He prefers living life in spontaneous, unpredictable fashion and has no interest in anyone trying to box him in or dictate his choices.


Throughout the song, the chorus emphasizes the singer's opposition to authority and desire for freedom. He asserts that he should have the right to explore the world, pursue his passions, and live life on his own terms. Additionally, the bridge reinforces this sentiment, as Crush refuses to be brought down by anyone else's negativity, dismissing their attempts to make him feel guilty or constrained in his pursuit of happiness.
