Climax
Diplo ft Usher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Going nowhere fast
We've reached the climax
We're together, now we're undone
Won't commit so we choose to
Run away
Do we separate? Oh
Don't wanna give in so we both gave up
Can't take it back, it's too late, we've reached the climax
Climax

I've fallen somehow
Feet off the ground
Love is the cloud
That keeps raining down
Where are you now
When I need you around?
I'm on my knees, but it seems we're

Going nowhere fast
We've reached the climax
We're together, now we're undone
Won't commit so we choose to
Run away
Do we separate? Oh
Don't wanna give in so we both gave up
Can't take it back, it's too late, we've reached the climax
Climax

I gave my best, it wasn't enough
You get upset, we argue too much
We made a mess of what used to be love
So why do I care, I care at all?
At all
At all
At all

Going nowhere fast
We've reached the climax
We're together, now we're undone
Won't commit so we choose to
Run away
Do we separate? Oh
Don't wanna give in so we both gave up
Can't take it back, it's too late, we've reached the climax
Climax

You say it's better if we
Love each other separately
I just need you one more time
I can't get what we had out my mind
Where are you now
When I need you around?
I'm on my knees
But it seems we're going

Nowhere fast
We've reached the climax
We're together, now we're undone
Won't commit so we choose to
Run away
Do we separate? Oh
Don't wanna give in so we both gave up




Can't take it back, it's too late, we've reached the climax
Climax

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Diplo ft Usher's song "Climax" express a relationship that has reached its breaking point. The couple is "going nowhere fast" and has "reached the climax." They are together but undone, and because they won't commit, they choose to run away. They must decide whether to separate or continue fighting for their relationship. However, they both give up, and it's too late to fix things. The song is a heartfelt expression of a couple's struggle to save their relationship, and ultimately their failure to do so.


The lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphor for the ups and downs of a relationship. The couple has gone through a lot of emotional turmoil, and they are finally at the breaking point. They have reached the "climax" of their relationship, and they can't go any further. They are stuck in a cycle of love and pain, and they can't escape it. The line "Love is the cloud that keeps raining down" illustrates the emotional rollercoaster they are on. They can't escape their feelings for each other, even though they know they should.


According to Diplo, the song was inspired by a break-up he had gone through. He said, "It’s not a happy song, but I really like the emotion of it. It's very raw". Diplo teamed up with singer-songwriter Ariel Rechtshaid to create the song. Usher heard the track and loved it, so he added his vocals.
