Instant Crush
Daft Punk vs. Julian Casablancas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought of everything I'd never regret
Let's run with it because it's all we can take
One thing I'd never see, the same way around
I don't believe it and it slips from the ground
I want to take you to that place near the rush
But no one gives us any time anymore
You used me once [?]
I got this picture of us kissin' in my head
And all I hear is the last thing that you said
Listen to you brother, and listen to me
I didn't want to anymore
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Kinda given up on giving 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 there's nowhere else I could go
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Kinda given up on giving 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
You thought he saw someone that looked just like me
I saw my 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 the 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, oh I don't wanna sing anymore
Listen to you brother, and listen to me
I didn't want to anymore
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Kinda given up on giving 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 there's nowhere else I could go
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Kinda given up on giving 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 there's nowhere else I could go
I don't wanna start, don't get upset
I'm not with you
It's all I do when I'm with you
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Kinda given up on giving 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 there's nowhere else I could go
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Kinda given up on giving 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 there's nowhere else I could go
The lyrics to Daft Punk's Instant Crush featuring Julian Casablancas are about a lost love that the singer can't seem to forget. He thinks about everything he did wrong and what he could have done to keep the relationship alive. They are now left with only memories of the past, and the singer hopes to recreate those cherished moments near the rush. However, he feels that nobody gives them any time anymore, and his love interest has used him and left him once. Despite this, he still has a picture in his head of them kissing, and all he can hear is the last thing she said.
The singer seeks advice from his brother, but he ultimately reaches out to his lost love, feeling lost and unsure of where to go without her. He longs for their friendship to return but seems resigned to the fact that they will never be alone again because something this meaningful doesn't happen every day. He still counts on her to be a friend and realizes that his feelings for her have held him back, but he doesn't know what to say or where to go. The singer feels stuck and chained to memories of a time with his lost love that he can't escape, with nowhere else to turn.
Overall, Instant Crush is a nostalgic and emotional song about lost love and the frustrating feeling of being unable to get over it. It deals with issues of regret, missed opportunities, and the hope that a past relationship can be rekindled.

I didn't want to be the one to forget
I didn't want to be the one who forgot about us
I thought of everything I'd never regret
I tried to think of everything I don't want to regret
Let's run with it because it's all we can take
Let's go with the flow as we can't take it anymore
One thing I'd never see, the same way around
I can't see one thing the same way as before
I don't believe it and it slips from the ground
I can't believe it and it feels like it's slipping away
I want to take you to that place near the rush
I want to take you to that spot where we feel the excitement
But no one gives us any time anymore
But nobody has time for us anymore
You used me once [?]
You took advantage of me once
You made an offer for it, then you ran off
You made an offer, then disappeared
I got this picture of us kissin' in my head
I have this mental image of us kissing
And all I hear is the last thing that you said
All I can hear is the last thing you said
Listen to you brother, and listen to me
Listen to your conscience, as well as to me
I didn't want to anymore
I didn't want to continue feeling this way
And we will never be alone again
We will never be lonely again
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
Because this doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
I was hoping you would be a friend for me
Kinda given up on giving away
I've given up on giving too much of myself away
Now I thought about what I wanna say
Now I've thought about what I want to say
But I never really know where to go
But I never really know where to start
So I chained myself to a friend
So I've isolated myself to one friend
'Cause there's nowhere else I could go
As there's nowhere else for me to turn
It didn't matter what they wanted to see
It didn't matter what others wanted us to do
You thought he saw someone that looked just like me
You thought he saw someone that resembled me
I saw my memory that just never dies
I saw a memory that I can't get rid of
We worked too long and hard to give it no time
We worked too hard to not give it more time
He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies
He sees right through me, lies are so transparent
Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise
Cracks in the road that I would try to hide
He runs the scissors at the seam in the wall
He runs the scissors at the point of weakness in our relationship
He cannot break it down or else he would fall
He can't destroy our relationship or else he would lose everything
One thousand lonely stars
Many stars, each feeling lonely
Hiding in the cold
Existing in a barren and cold space
Take it, oh I don't wanna sing anymore
Take it, I don't want to keep singing anymore
I don't wanna start, don't get upset
I don't want to start anything, so don't be upset
I'm not with you
I'm not on your side
It's all I do when I'm with you
That's all I feel when I'm around you

[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
I don’t believe in him, his lips on the ground
I wanna take you to that place in the Roche
But no one gives us any time anymore
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
[Pre-Chorus]
"I listened to your problems, now listen to mine"
I didn't want to anymore, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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, oh, I don't wanna sing anymore
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
"I listened to your problems, now listen to mine"
I didn't want to anymore, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day

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

[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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

Daft Punk, they are millionaire, they can wander all over the world without being recognized.
They finished the game with hard mode.
Congratulations.
Deserved retirement.

Their masks are always something I admired. They were musicians through and through. It was about the music to them, not the fame and money.

@@orbit5311 I think that's the real reason they became so successful, amd grew so big. So many artists today are all in it for the money. Daft Punk had a real understanding of music. Even though they were robots, their music was truly human
