Homebase: Crystal Castles ft Robert Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't give you my heart
No one lives there anymore
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
'Cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
I'm not in love
Could it be that time has taken it's toll
Won't take you so far, I am in control
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
'Cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
'Cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough
I'm not in love
I'm not
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
'Cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
'Cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
The song "Not in Love" by Crystal Castles ft. Robert Smith is an exploration of the aftermath of a failed relationship. The lyrics begin by describing a picture of the former lover hanging on the back of the singer's door, emphasizing the distance and emptiness between them. The singer declares that they won't give their heart to this person again, and acknowledges that they were once lovers but can no longer be only friends. The repetition of "fascination ends, here we go again" suggests a cycle of attraction and disillusionment that has taken place between the two.
As the song progresses, the singer asserts their agency and control, declaring that time has taken its toll on the relationship and they won't allow it to consume them again. The chorus repeats the refrain "I'm not in love" over and over, creating a sense of finality and closure. The song ends with a repetition of the phrase "We are not in love," driving home the idea that the relationship is truly over and cannot be salvaged.
Overall, "Not in Love" is a poignant and raw exploration of the aftermath of a failed relationship, examining themes of distance, disillusionment, and agency.

Diotovesky Raskolnikov
I was sitting
On the roof of my house
With a shotgun
And a six pack of beers
In the '90s, optimistic as a teen
Now its terror
Now is not the time for liberal thought
Witches
I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
In the '90s, optimistic as a teen
Now its terror
Kill your middle class
I was sitting
On the roof of my house
With a shotgun
Now is not the time for liberal thought
Witches
So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll
Witches
I am hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll
I am hunting for witches
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire
I am hunting for witches, for witches
Witches
I am hunting for witches, for witches
I am hunting for witches, for witches
Heads are going to roll
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire
I watched tv, it informed me
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire
And there must be accountability
Desperate and misinformed
Fear will keep us all in place
Witches
I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
umm yeah..
Gosh I miss this song, it's not on Spotify 😢
