Halford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't make a victim
I lie awake and I'm forsaken
From all the holes in my time
You saved up for this true lie
The devil bides her time in waiting
Crystallized in paranoia
Lost yourself inside her madness
Beast has glazed your being
With its torture
All the faults in your life
This suffering can't be mine
The curse will grow with what you prey for
And still she comes
She's calling
I'm falling
She makes me mine
Still calling
I'm crawling
She is benign
Smell your world when you came
Now I am a victim
I lie awake, I swim inside you
And still she comes
The lyrics to Halford's song Crystal delve into the theme of obsession and the dangers that come with it. The first verse sets the tone with the lyrics "Smell your world when you come; I won't make a victim; I lie awake and I'm forsaken; from all the holes in my time." These lines suggest that the singer is experiencing a sense of unease and uncertainty about the person who has entered their life. The line "I won't make a victim" implies that they are trying to maintain some level of control, but the haunting voice of the "devil" echoes through the lyrics as they wait for their prey.
In the chorus, Halford sings "Crystallized in paranoia; lost yourself inside her madness; beast has glazed your being with its torture." These lines depict the singer's descent into madness and the idea that they have become ensnared by the object of their obsession. The lyrics "she makes me mine; still calling, I'm crawling; she is benign" suggest that the singer has little power to resist the temptation of this person, even though they are aware of the potential harm.
In the final verse, the lines "Now I am a victim; I lie awake, I swim inside you; and still she comes" convey the idea that the singer has now become the victim of their own obsession, unable to escape from its grip. Overall, the lyrics to Crystal paint a vivid picture of the dangers of obsession and the lasting impact it can have on one's life.
Line by Line Meaning
Smell your world when you come
As soon as you enter my world, I am able to sense your presence
I won't make a victim
I refuse to be a helpless victim of your manipulation
I lie awake and I'm forsaken
I cannot rest and feel abandoned
From all the holes in my time
All the gaps and emptiness in my life
You saved up for this true lie
You planned for and cultivated this deceitful situation
The devil bides her time in waiting
Evil patiently waits for the opportune moment to strike
And still she comes
Despite my attempts to resist, the danger continues to approach
Crystallized in paranoia
Trapped and frozen by fear and suspicion
Lost yourself inside her madness
You become consumed by the insanity that surrounds you
Beast has glazed your being
A terrible creature has overcome and coated your essence
With its torture
Subjected to unbearable suffering
All the faults in your life
Every flaw and mistake you have made
This suffering can't be mine
I am not responsible for your pain and emotional distress
The curse will grow with what you prey for
Your desires will only lead to more misfortune and suffering
She's calling
The danger is beckoning to you
I'm falling
I am losing the fight against temptation
She makes me mine
The danger has taken control of me
Still calling
The temptation persists
I'm crawling
I am desperately trying to resist
She is benign
The danger appears harmless, but is secretly destructive
Smell your world when you came
Your arrival has tainted and corrupted my surroundings
Now I am a victim
I have been preyed upon and taken advantage of
I lie awake, I swim inside you
I am restless and completely enveloped by your influence
And still she comes
The cycle of danger and temptation continues unabated
