Crash
DJ Yoda Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here you go
Way too fast
Don't slow down
Gonna crash
You should watch
Watch your step
Don't lookout
Gonna break your neck

So shut shut your mouth
'Cause I'm not listening anyhow
I've had enough enough of you
You know to last a lifetime through

So what do you want of me
Got no words of sympathy
And if I go around with you
You know that I'll get messed up too with you
With you

Nana nana na nana nana naaaaa
Nana nana na nana nana naaaaa

Here you go
Way too fast
Don't slowdown
Gonna crash
You don't know
What's been going down
You've been running
Allover town

So shut shut your mouth
'Cause I'm not listening anyhow
I've had enough enough of you
You know to last a lifetime through

So what do you want of me
Got no cure for misery
And if I go about with you
You know that I'll get messed up too with you
With you

Nana nana na nana nana naaaa
Nana nana na nana nana naaaa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to DJ Yoda's "Crash" are a warning to someone who is moving too fast and not paying attention to their surroundings. The repetition of "way too fast, don't slow down, gonna crash" emphasizes the danger of not being careful. The second verse is directed at someone who has been reckless and has caused problems for the singer. The singer is fed up with this person and refuses to listen to them anymore. They don't have any sympathy for their situation and don't want to get involved with them anymore. The chorus repeats the same warning from the first verse, as if the singer is trying to convince the reckless person to slow down and be more careful.

The "na na na na" refrain is a catchy and memorable hook that adds to the overall energy of the song. It's almost like a playground taunt or a way of dismissing the reckless person. The song has a fast tempo and a driving beat that match the urgency of the lyrics. It could be interpreted as a commentary on our fast-paced and often dangerous modern world, where people are constantly in a rush and not taking the time to be aware of their surroundings.

Overall, "Crash" is a warning to slow down and be more aware of the hazards around us. It's a reminder that reckless behavior can have serious consequences, and that it's important to pay attention to what's going on in our lives.
