Inni-K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be clear, no I don't, wanted you to leave
So we did, it's on you, and also on me
You'll see, in a bit, you'll feel released
Baby girl, just relax, why are you so mean
To be clear, no I don't, wanted you to leave
So we did, it's on you, and also on me
You'll see, in a bit, you'll feel released
Angh angh to be like that
I tried to be perfect
For you but I failed it
I'm already perfect
So why should I do that
I wanted you so bad
Thought you were my wifey
Don't cry don't be sorry
Cuttings of the past now under carpet
I don't do that anymore cause I need them
To realise myself yeah I need them
Baby girl, just relax, why are you so mean
To be clear, no I don't, wanted you to leave
So we did, it's on you, and also on me
You'll see, in a bit, you'll feel released
Baby girl, just relax, why are you so mean
To be clear, no I don't, wanted you to leave
So we did, it's on you, and also on me
You'll see, in a bit, you'll feel released
Wait hey
Be on time don't be late hey
Stop being so afraid hey
Start seeking for courage hey
Be true never fake hey
It's yourself that you betray hey
Angh
Blocked in my nightmares
Pulling out my hairs
You came out of no where
Then released my pains
You were my crushtest
You were my crushtest
You were my crushtest
You were my crushtest
You were my
You were my crushtest
You were my
You were my crushtest
The lyrics of Inni-K's song Crush express the emotions of someone who has just ended a relationship. They address their former partner, whom they refer to as “baby girl” and ask them to relax and stop being mean. They clarify that they did not want their partner to leave, but they both collectively made the decision to end things, and they are equally responsible for it. The singer acknowledges that it may hurt now, but he/she promises that their partner will feel released and better afterward.
The song then shifts to introspection as the singer reflects on how hard they tried to be perfect for their partner, but ultimately failed. They realize they do not need to be perfect because they are already perfect and understand they must embrace themselves. The lyrics also touch on the idea of growth, stating that they need their “cuttings of the past” to understand themselves and how to grow.
The song ends with the singer acknowledging their former partner as their “crushtest” but nevertheless accepts that they are moving on, and there is no turning back.

You appeared suddenly
Then released my pains
But you also helped alleviate my pain
You were my crushtest
I had strong feelings for you
You were my
You were my crush
You were my crushtest
I was deeply infatuated with you
