crash with me
Gnash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
crash with me, fall asleep
crash with me, crash with me
crash with me, fall asleep
on the 101 at 1: 01 on the run from the deamons in the soul
inside the monster you've become
and i should've trusted judgements somethings up and
jumped from? cuz you gave me all these reasons to believe in love was love
i don't need strife no more, i don't need life no more
Baby i know it's late
but i got one more thing to say
crash with me, crash with me
crash with me, fall asleep
crash with me, crash with me
crash with me, fall asleep
on the 101 because the one that was the one
one that came but lost my love so i was gone before the sun
and i swore that i was safe from all the damage to be done
heavy my eyes, total tons
met early demise hit and runs
flying through these red lights and all i see is headlights
and you gave me those red lights, those almost kinda dead lights
im driving into my fate
ill make loving you my last mistake
crash with me, crash with me
crash with me, fall asleep
crash with me, crash with me
crash with me, fall asleep
Gnash's song "Crash with Me" is a hauntingly beautiful and emotional piece that speaks to the vulnerability and fragility of love. The song begins with the repetition of the lines "crash with me, crash with me, crash with me, fall asleep" which almost act as a plea to the partner to hold onto and cherish the time they have left together. The reference to the 101 highway at 1:01am reveals that this is a late night conversation, perhaps one of the last the couple will have, and it is an attempt to make it count.
The lyrics delve deeper into the emotional state of the singer who is on the run from their inner demons, and the monster they've become. The partner should be a refuge from these demons, but instead, doubts and fears have seeped into the relationship, leaving the singer feeling like love isn't enough. The line "this don't feel right no more, no sleepless nights no more, I don't need strife no more, I don't need life no more" reveals that the singer is ready to let go and move on. However, there is one last request before the final farewell, to "Crash with me, fall asleep." It's a plea for closeness, to hold onto each other one last time before they go their separate ways.
Overall, the song is a poignant reminder of how love can be both beautiful and painful, and how even in the depths of despair, we can still cling onto hope and the possibility of a brighter tomorrow.

I kind of don't want Gnash to become super famous like Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber because even though he'd get recognition for his talent, I don't think it would be real and genuine recognition for his talent. Ya know? Like I want him to go far, but I don't want the big music industries to change him because he's great the way he is! Idk that's just my opinion though...
