Roommate
Crush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is your roommate asleep? What are the secrets that you keep,
When you're alone, when she's not home?
Does she cry when you're away? And will she have something to say
About you being here, about you leaving there?

Chorus:
No, no, no. She said she didn't see your life change
You want to believe it's true, she's got no hold on you
No, no, no, no. While you're driving, watch the lights change
'Cause things are the way they are
And we've come too far to let here in between

Will you see it 'till the end? And will you lose another friend,
Like the ones before. What do you have in store?

Chorus

Solo:
Are you slowly getting tired? Or are you suddenly inspired
To keep moving on, or are you doing wrong?





Chorus:
Is your roommate asleep?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Roommate by Crush are rich in emotional depth and poignancy, exploring themes of secrecy, doubt, and the complexities inherent in human relationships. The song begins by asking whether the singer's roommate is asleep and what secrets they have been keeping when she is not around. The lyrics suggest a sense of tension and unease, as though there is something not quite right about the roommate's behavior that the singer is struggling to understand.


The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as it explores the idea of someone refusing to take responsibility for the impact they have had on another person's life. The lyrics suggest that the roommate has denied any responsibility for what has happened, insisting that they did not see the singer's life change. However, the singer is not convinced, and wonders whether the roommate would have something to say if she were to return home and find her there.


The song speaks to the universal human experience of feeling uncertain about the future, while grappling with the realities of the present. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of communication and honesty in all our relationships, and the ways in which our daily choices can have a profound impact on those around us.
