Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want short breaths
I found dark eye lids
Nice breasts
Like the summer into rough hands
Eyes lit
I want short breaths
Nice breasts
Like the summer into rough hands
Eyes lit
I want short breaths
I found dark eyelids
Nice breasts
Like the summer into rough hands
Eyes lit
I want short breaths
I found dark eye lids
Nice breasts
Like the summer into rough hands
Eyes lit
I want short breaths
I found dark eye lids
Nice breasts
Like the summer into rough hands
Eyes lit
I want short breaths
I found dark eye lids
Nice breasts
Like the summer into rough hands
Eyes lit
I want short breaths
I found dark eye lids
Nice breasts
Like the summer into rough hands
Eyes lit
I want short breaths
I found dark eye lids
Nice breasts
Like the summer into rough hands
Eyes lit
I want short breaths
I found dark eye lids
Nice breasts
Like the summer into rough hands
Eyes lit
On short breaths
From dark lids
Firm nice breasts
Up the summer into rough hands
The lyrics of Crystal Castles's song "Crimewave" are quite elusive and open to interpretation. They create a haunting and unsettling atmosphere that is characteristic of the band's music. The repetition of the same lines over and over again throughout the song adds to its hypnotic effect. The lyrics seem to describe a sexual encounter that is void of any emotional connection or intimacy. The singer's focus is solely on the physical aspects of the encounter, such as the woman's eyes, eyelids, and breasts. The line "like the summer into rough hands" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the fleeting and transitory nature of the encounter or the singer's desire to dominate and control the woman.
On a deeper level, the lyrics could be seen as a commentary on society's objectification of women and the commodification of sex. The singer's language reduces the woman to her body parts, diminishing her humanity and agency. The repetition of the same lines throughout the song could be seen as a reflection of the way women are often reduced to their physical attributes in our culture.
Overall, "Crimewave" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that raises important questions about the way we view and treat women in our society.
