Instant Crush (Feat. Julian Casablancas) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought of everything I'd never regret
A little time with you is all that I get
That's all we need because it's all we can take
One thing I never see the same when you're 'round
I don't believe in him, his lips on the ground
I wanna take you to that place in the "Roche"
He asks me once if I'd look in on his dog
You made an offer for it, then you ran off
I got this picture of us kids in my head
And all I hear is the last thing that you said
"I listened to your problems
Now listen to mine"
I didn't want to anymore, oh, oh, oh
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
Some more again
It didn't matter what they wanted to see
He thought he saw someone that looked just like me
The summer memory that just never dies
We worked too long and hard to give it no time
He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies
Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise
He runs his scissors at the seam in the wall
He cannot break it down or else he would fall
One thousand lonely stars hiding in the cold
Take it, I don't wanna sing anymore
"I listened to your problems
Now listen to mine"
I didn't want to anymore, oh, oh, oh
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a
I don't understand, don't get upset
I'm not with you
We're swimming around
It's all I do when I'm with you
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say

The song "Instant Crush" by Daft Punk featuring Julian Casablancas explores topics of nostalgia, regret, and friendship. The lyrics open with the singer expressing a fear of being forgotten, and reflecting on the times spent with a friend. The lines, "I thought of everything I'd never regret / A little time with you is all that I get / That's all we need because it's all we can take" suggest that the singer values the time spent with the friend, and wouldn't change any of it. However, the friend seems to have moved on from the friendship, and the singer is left feeling abandoned.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of nostalgia and memories of childhood, with the line, "I got this picture of us kids in my head / And all I hear is the last thing that you said." The song continues to explore the complexities of friendship and the difficulty in expressing emotions and thoughts to others, which is echoed in the lines "I thought about what I wanna say / But I never really know where to go." The singer struggles to express themselves to the friend, opting to "chain" themselves to the friendship to keep it alive.
Overall, the song seems to express a longing for a past friendship and a desire to reconnect with someone who has moved on. It touches on themes of nostalgia and the struggles of communication and expression within friendship.

I didn't want to be the one to forget
I thought of everything I'd never regret
A little time with you is all that I get
That's all we need because it's all we can take
One thing I never see the same when you're 'round

Daft Punk, they are millionaire, they can wander all over the world without being recognized.
They finished the game with hard mode.
Congratulations.
Deserved retirement.

@@orbit5311 I think that's the real reason they became so successful, amd grew so big. So many artists today are all in it for the money. Daft Punk had a real understanding of music. Even though they were robots, their music was truly human
