Crime
Grey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kiss me hard forget them judging eyes
Who cares about what is to come no I don't fear the night
Let's show 'em what it is to be alive
If nothing is for keeps, can I keep you just for a minute?
I don't know what's real but I really wanna feel you now
Get a little too close can I stop your heart for a moment?
If I don't even care, is that really such a crime?
If I don't even care, is that really such a crime?
If I don't even care, is that really such a crime?
Shed your layer lay with me let's waste a little time
And if it all burns down well that's just life
Ooh we're all going anyways
So let's let it out too loud
If nothing is for keeps, can I keep you just for a minute?
I don't know what's real but I really wanna feel you now
Get a little too close can I stop your heart for a moment?
If I don't even care, is that really such a crime?
If I don't even care, is that really such a crime?
If I don't even care, is that really such a crime?
If I don't even care, is that really such a crime?
Grey's song "Crime" portrays the sense of freedom and carelessness in love. The lyrics convey the idea that one should not fear what others think and embrace the intensity of the moment. The first verse describes the act of being discreet in public, but with a partner, the rules do not apply to them. Grey urges their partner to disregard the judging eyes of onlookers and live in the moment, thereby showing the world what it means to be alive.
The chorus begins with a question, "If nothing is for keeps, can I keep you just for a minute?" This line, representing the uncertainty of love, asks if the moment can be preserved just for a little while, even if it is not something forever. The second line, "I don't know what's real but I really wanna feel you now," encapsulates the essence of the song, where the singer isn't sure about the authenticity of the love, still desires to be engulfed in it regardless. The third line, "Get a little too close can I stop your heart for a moment?" accentuates the intensity of the moment, taking the romance to its heights. The chorus finishes with the recurring statement, "If I don't even care, is that really such a crime?" suggesting that one should love freely and not let anyone define their actions.
In the second verse, Grey implores their partner to let go of their inhibitions and live a little. "Shed your layer lay with me let's waste a little time," represents that they should enjoy the moment's beauty without worrying about what follows. "And if it all burns down well that's just life," symbolizes that nothing lasts forever, and if their romance does ultimately end, it's okay, and they should embrace the journey rather than the destination.
