Crazy
Lefay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[originally from Seal]
A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for is to unlock the door
I see you my friend and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip ooh oh oh
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless we are a little crazy
Yellow people walking through my head
One of them's got a gun to shoot the other one
And yet together they were friends at school oh get it get it no
If all were there when we first took the pill
Then maybe then maybe then maybe then Miracles will happen as we speak
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless we are a little crazy
In a sky full of people only some want to fly isn't that crazy
In a world full of people only some want to fly isn't that crazy
In a heaven full of people there's only some want to fly ain't that crazy
In a world full of people there's only some want to fly Ain't that crazy ain't that crazy
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless we are a little But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless we are a little just a little crazy
And then you see things the size of which you've never known before
They'll break it someday only child know Them things the size of which you've never known before Someday someway someday someway
The Lefay cover of "Crazy" originally by Seal explores the idea that in order to achieve greatness or make a change, a person needs to take risks and step outside of their comfort zone. The first verse speaks of a man who has lived for 70 years, and finally realizes that he needs to unlock the door to whatever he desires. He sees those around him uninterested and asleep, not achieving anything themselves, and that motivates him to strive for something greater. The second verse delves deeper into this idea of taking risks and being a little crazy, with the lines "yellow people walking through my head, one of them's got a gun to shoot the other one, and yet together they were friends at school." This can be interpreted as the thoughts and inner conflicts we have, and how sometimes opposing sides can come together to achieve something great.
The chorus repeats the phrase "We're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy," emphasizing the importance of taking risks and stepping outside of societal norms. The bridge also explores this concept by asking why only some people desire to fly in a sky or world full of people, and why only some people strive for greatness when given the opportunity. The final lines, "And then you see things the size of which you've never known before, they'll break it someday only child know, them things the size of which you've never known before, someday someway someday someway," further illustrate this idea that taking risks and being "crazy" can lead to great achievements and discoveries.
Overall, Lefay's cover of "Crazy" highlights the importance of taking risks and being a little crazy in order to achieve greatness and make a change in the world.
