Instant Crush
Daft Punk featuring Julian Casablancas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought of everything I'd never regret
A little time with you is all that I get
That's all we need because it's all we can take
One thing I never see the same when you're 'round
I don't believe in him, his lips on the ground
I wanna take you to that place in the "Roche"
He asks me once if I'd look in on his dog
You made an offer for it, then you ran off
I got this picture of us kids in my head
And all I hear is the last thing that you said
"I listened to your problems
Now listen to mine"
I didn't want to anymore, oh, oh, oh
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
Some more again
It didn't matter what they wanted to see
He thought he saw someone that looked just like me
The summer memory that just never dies
We worked too long and hard to give it no time
He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies
Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise
He runs his scissors at the seam in the wall
He cannot break it down or else he would fall
One thousand lonely stars hiding in the cold
Take it, I don't wanna sing anymore
"I listened to your problems
Now listen to mine"
I didn't want to anymore, oh, oh, oh
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a
I don't understand, don't get upset
I'm not with you
We're swimming around
It's all I do when I'm with you
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day

Now I thought about what I wanna say

The song "Instant Crush" by Julian Casablancas is a melancholic track that delves into a complicated relationship. The lyrics convey the themes of nostalgia, regret, and unrequited love through both the story they tell and the emotions they evoke. It is about a past lover that the singer never wanted to forget, and how they remember all the things they did together with fondness.
The chorus especially highlights the idea of never being alone as it doesn't happen every day, indicating that the singer found solace in this particular relationship. However, the relationship sadly ended, and the singer is left with all the memories of the past. The lyrics also mention deception and lies, indicating that there were some trust issues and misunderstandings in the relationship.
The line "I chained myself to a friend because I know it unlocks like a door" suggests that the singer is holding onto a friend to avoid being alone, which is a poignant display of vulnerability. Overall, the song is a reflection on the complex nature of emotions and relationships, reminding us of the importance of cherishing the moments we share with those we love.

I have a memory of us in the summer that I can't forget
We worked too long and hard to give it no time
We worked hard to make our relationship work, and we shouldn't let it go to waste
He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies
He knows me so well that he can tell when I'm lying
Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise
I tried to cover up the problems in our relationship
He runs his scissors at the seam in the wall
He's trying to break through the barrier between us
He cannot break it down or else he would fall
If he tried to break through, it would cause him to lose his balance
One thousand lonely stars hiding in the cold

Take it all, I don't want to keep feeling this way anymore

Now listen to mine"

I don't understand, don't get upset
I don't understand why you're upset
I'm not with you
I'm not on the same page as you
We're swimming around
We're going in circles and not making any progress
It's all I do when I'm with you
Our relationship is stagnant and we're not moving forward
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?

[Verse 1]
I didn't want to be the one to forget
I thought of everything I'd never regret
A little time with you is all that I get
That's all we need because it's all we can take
One thing I never see the same when you're 'round

He asks me once if I'd look in on his dog
You made an offer for it, then you ran off
