Crash
Lunic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How about that siren you hear screaching in your ear
You gonna pretend you can't hear it?
Or the flashing lights that keep you up all night
You gonna say you don't fear it?
You're gonna crash and burn unless you turn around
Just turn around!
Nothing makes sense anymore
Nothing makes any sense anymore
But the pain makes you know you're alive
At least the pain makes you know you're alive
You're alive
Do you love yourself?
You're alive
How about the friends that run away, they can't stay
Cause if they do you'll run them over
On a path to destruction you defend your corruption
It keeps them from getting close to you
You're gonna crash and burn unless you turn around
Just turn around!
Nothing makes sense anymore
Nothing makes any sense anymore
But the pain makes you know you're alive
At least the pain makes you know you're alive
You're alive




But you're losing yourself
You're alive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lunic's song "Crash" are an introspective observation of self-destructive behavior. The opening lines liken the sound of a siren to a warning that one needs to heed but may ignore. The flashing lights in the night are metaphorical reminders of one's impending self-inflicted destruction. The singer laments that nothing makes sense anymore, implying that they've lost perspective on their life. Despite this, the pain that comes with the path of destruction is what makes the individual feel alive, almost as if the chaos justifies their very existence.


The lyrics reveal that the singer's destructive nature is affecting their relationships, causing friends to abandon them. The singer is aware that their behavior is pushing others away, but they continue down the destructive path, defending their corrupt behavior. The line, "But you're losing yourself," implies that the individual realizes that their behavior is leading them down a dangerous path, and they're in danger of losing who they are. The chorus repeats the warning that the individual will crash and burn unless they turn around.


Overall, "Crash" is a dark, personal expression of the cost of self-destructive behavior. Despite the singer's awareness of their situation, they continue down the path they're on, seemingly unable to turn around.
