Crazy Something Normal
Donkeyboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Champagne glass
And a merlo wine
With an old man
Staring at his broken time
Got my T shirt on
When it's suit and tie
Who did you invite
Someone asked me
To save my soul
I said I already gave it to the radio
There's a ripped off cord
To my TV screen
With a note saying
I'm not afraid to dream
Chorus
Living how we wanna
Speeding through the life
Crazy Something Normal
We don't need advice
Living in the color
There's no black and white
Crazy Something Normal
We're Taking off tonight
Verse
The Good die young
We all know that
So that I don't
Have to play the hero act
Got my tax check back
And I bet on black
I'll be here next year
Trying to win it back
When they ask
What did you invent
Tell them how to see the world through a limo tint
Cause there's a ripped off cord
To my TV screen
Because I will never
Be afraid to dream
Chorus
Bridge
If you don't know where come follow me
If you don't know where come follow me
In the midnight air no I don't sleep
If you don't know where come follow me
The lyrics to Donkeyboy's song "Crazy Something Normal" portray a life of living on one's own terms and not conforming to societal expectations. The opening verse illustrates the juxtaposition of a laid-back attire - a T-shirt - at an event where formal wear is expected, but the singer is unconcerned and somewhat defiant. There is also a nod to the fleetingness of time as the old man stares at his broken watch. The broken TV screen with a note saying "I'm not afraid to dream" continues the theme of nonconformity, as the singer is not afraid to dream, even if it means not following societal norms.
The chorus reinforces the theme of living life on one's own terms, "Living how we wanna, Speeding through the life, Crazy something normal, We don't need advice." The singer chooses to live life in color and not in black and white, and they have no need for advice on how to live their life.
The second verse begins with the assertion that the good die young but the singer refuses to play the hero act. Instead, they choose to gamble their tax refund on black, emphasizing the theme of taking risks and living life on their own terms. The verse ends with a plea to tell others how to see the world through a limo tint, meaning that one can choose to live life with a more luxurious and carefree attitude rather than dwelling on societal expectations.
Line by Line Meaning
Champagne glass
Starting the night off with some luxury
And a merlo wine
Accompanying their luxurious drink choice
With an old man
In the presence of an elderly individual
Staring at his broken time
Reflecting on the time that's already passed and can never be retrieved
Got my T shirt on
Choosing to be comfortable and casual
When it's suit and tie
While others may be dressed more formally
But I showed up late
Arriving after the expected time
Who did you invite
Doubting the guest list
Someone asked me
A curious individual approached me
To save my soul
To convince me to devote myself to something
I said I already gave it to the radio
Explaining that music is their saving grace
There's a ripped off cord
Their television is not functioning properly
To my TV screen
Their source of entertainment and information
With a note saying
Leaving a message behind
I'm not afraid to dream
Encouraging themselves to pursue their aspirations
Living how we wanna
Living life on their own terms
Speeding through the life
Making the most out of their time
Crazy Something Normal
Their lifestyle may seem unconventional to others
We don't need advice
Confident in their own choices and decisions
Living in the color
Embracing the vibrant and exciting parts of life
There's no black and white
Acknowledging that everything is not simply good or bad
Crazy Something Normal
Their way of life may seem crazy, but it works for them
We're Taking off tonight
Ready to embark on a new adventure
The Good die young
Recognizing that life can be unpredictable and unfair
We all know that
A universal truth that many people can relate to
So that I don't
Avoiding unnecessary risks or dangers
Have to play the hero act
Choosing not to be the singer in every situation
Got my tax check back
Receiving their tax refund
And I bet on black
Taking a risk with their newfound funds
I'll be here next year
Confident in their ability to rebound
Trying to win it back
Attempting to regain their lost funds
When they ask
Curious individuals questioning their legacy
What did you invent
What significant contribution did they make to society
Tell them how to see the world through a limo tint
Sharing their perspective on life from a luxurious point of view
Cause there's a ripped off cord
Despite their luxury, their TV is still not working properly
Because I will never
Making a firm resolution for themselves
Be afraid to dream
Keeping their hopes and dreams alive
If you don't know where come follow me
Inviting others to experience life the way they do
In the midnight air no I don't sleep
Unable to rest as they constantly strive for more
If you don't know where come follow me
Assuring others that they can provide guidance and direction

I remember watching this as a kid like 5-9 years ago and have been searching “spray paint music video” to try to find it again. And I finally found it after hearing “sometimes” by the neighbor and searching the lyrics. I CANT SAY HOW HAPPY I AM, this is so nostalgic to me. I love this song, awesome!
