Magnetic Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you can't trust anyone
You've had a long hard ride
And the days hardly began
You've got nothing to lose
They took it all while you looked away
I know you paid your dues
Do you need somewhere to stay
[Chorus]
I could out your every wrong to right
I will be your sanctuary tonight
Crossover and come inside
Crossover and come inside
I'm the only friend you'll need to know?
Give me all your troubles, let them go
Crossover and come inside
Crossover and come inside
Too many crooks and thieves
They will take you for every cent
Hold onto your beliefs
They will guide you through the trench
I know your heart is pure
Your embrace is river wide
Do you need a place to crash
Do you want to come inside
[Chorus: x3]
In Magnetic Man's song Crossover, the singer is addressing someone who has been through a lot and is feeling lost, offering them a place of refuge. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a gritty, unforgiving world full of liars and cheats, where it's hard to make it through each day. The singer acknowledges the wrongs that have been done to the person they're singing to, but they also recognize their strength and resilience. They offer to be a safe haven for the person, a place where they can let go of their troubles and find comfort.
The chorus of the song is especially poignant as the singer promises to be a sanctuary to the person, telling them to "crossover and come inside." The repetition of this line, as well as the gentle, soothing melody, reinforces the idea of safety and refuge. The singer reassures the person that they will help them right their wrongs, and that they are the only friend they need to know, emphasizing the profound connection between the two.

It's way to hot outside
The temperature outside is uncomfortably high
And you can't trust anyone
You don't have faith in anyone because you've been betrayed before
You've had a long hard ride
You've had a challenging journey thus far
And the days hardly began
Despite the difficulty, you still have a long way to go
You've got nothing to lose
You've already lost everything once before
They took it all while you looked away
You lost everything because you weren't paying attention
I know you paid your dues
You've already suffered the consequences of your actions
Do you need somewhere to stay
Do you want a safe, welcoming place to go?
I could out your every wrong to right
I can help make things right in your life
I will be your sanctuary tonight
I can provide a peaceful, secure haven for you
Crossover and come inside
Cross the threshold and enter my safe space
I'm the only friend you'll need to know?
I can be the only support system you require
Give me all your troubles, let them go
Share all of your worries with me and release them from your mind
Too many crooks and thieves
There are too many dishonest people in the world
They will take you for every cent
They will steal every penny from your pocket
Hold onto your beliefs
Maintain your values and principles
They will guide you through the trench
Your beliefs will assist you through the tough times
I know your heart is pure
I know that you have a sincere and genuine heart
Your embrace is river wide
You have an infinite capacity for love and acceptance
Do you need a place to crash
Do you require a temporary area to reside?
Do you want to come inside
Would you like to join me in my sanctuary?
