Crown
Grebes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but i already know what's sewn in your mind
wishing you all good health, i don't wanna repeat myself
but i already know what grows on your vine
its not a mystery why they always set you free
the history's gotta be made sometimes
i saw you pulling up slow at the drive thru
got away this time but you don't know what they've been through
is there even a glimmer of light worth saving
how could you be so weak, stealing what you can't see
and blaming it all on misbehaving
i saw you pulling up slow at the drive thru
got away this time but you don't know what they've been through
i know your sympathy grows in a vacuum
slipping away this time but you don't know what they lived through
In Grebes's song Crown, the lyrics seem to suggest a sense of familiarity with someone who has gone down a similar path before. The opening line "I've seen it all before" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The songwriter then highlights the other person's behavior and mindset, suggesting that they are predictable in their actions. The line "but i already know what's sewn in your mind" seems to suggest that the other person has a certain pattern of behavior that is unlikely to change.
The songwriter then goes on to remind the other person of their past actions, implying that they are not someone who can be trusted. The phrase "its not a mystery why they always set you free" suggests that the other person has been given multiple chances but has failed to redeem themselves. The songwriter also recognizes the other person's weakness and suggests that they have been stealing without facing the consequences of their actions.
The second half of the song suggests that the world is a cruel place and that it is difficult to find the goodness in life. The songwriter's emotional response to this is evident in the line "is there even a glimmer of light worth saving." The song concludes with the final line "slipping away this time but you don't know what they lived through" suggesting that although the other person may be slipping away from them, they do not fully understand the pain and suffering experienced by others.
