Crush
Give Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The future could be ours or it could just be yours
We could just be walking closer to closed doors
It was spoken then broken, we're hoping arms are open
A wedding ring's surrendering and dying pretty is living well
Just press stop, take it out, turn it off, return it
I've got reasons for everything, everything except this
We could be the b-side to the hit song without no soul
We could sound like things were fine and find out they weren't at all
We could go back to where we was, live life and feel so small
Back where we started which was nowhere at all

This is a remix of the same tears you shed before
This is a remix of the same fears you shared before
I thought that they made it clear (and they did)
Our sound is not welcome here (you should know)

This is the crush of the year in our night-vision dreams,




know what I mean?
You see yourself where you should be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Give Up The Ghost's "Crush of the Year" are about the uncertainty of the future and the possibility of closed doors in a relationship. The singer reflects on the breaking of promises made, the hope for a chance to reconcile, and the difficult decision of whether to give up or continue fighting for the relationship. The lyrics also touch on the idea of living life beautifully even in the face of heartbreak.


The first verse sets up the conflicting possibilities of the future being either mutually shared or solely one person's to claim. The use of the image of "walking closer to closed doors" suggests that the relationship may be coming to an end. The mention of a wedding ring surrendering also hints at a deeper commitment that has been broken. The line "dying pretty is living well" refers to the idea of letting go of something that may have once been beautiful but is now no longer sustainable. The chorus reinforces the uncertainty of the situation while acknowledging the desire to find a place where one can belong.


The second verse of the song is a remix of the first, with the addition of the idea of past fears and tears. Here, the singer reflects on the past hurts and vulnerabilities that have contributed to the current state of the relationship. The lines "Our sound is not welcome here" suggests that the relationship has reached a point where it is no longer welcome or recognized, perhaps by one or both parties involved.


Overall, "Crush of the Year" is a melancholic ballad that speaks to the complexities of relationships, especially when they reach a breaking point. The song's lyrics highlight the struggle to maintain hope and clarity in the face of uncertainty and the desire to find a place of belonging.
