Crash
Matt Willis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here you go way too fast
Don't slow down you're gonna crash
You should watch - watch your stay here
Don't look out you're gonna break your neck

So shut, shut your mouth
Cos I'm not listening anyhow
I've had enough, enough of you
Enough to last a life time through
So what - what do you want from me?
Got no words of sympathy and if i go around with you
You know that i'll get messed up too with you

Na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na

Here you go way too fast
Don't slow down you're gonna crash
You don't know what's been going down
You've been running all over town

So shut, shut your mouth
Cos i'm not listening anyhow
I've had enough, enough of you
Enough to last a life time through
So what - what do you want from me?
Got no cure for misery and if I go around with you
You know that i'll get messed up too with you, with you, with you, with you....

Na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na

You, with you, with you
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Don't slow down you're gonna crash
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Don't Slow down you're gonna crash




Na na na na na na na na na na na
Don't slow down you're gonna crash....

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Crash" by Matt Willis seem to be addressing someone who is living a reckless life and pushing themselves too far, too fast. The singer warns this person that their behavior is dangerous and that they need to slow down before they have a serious accident ("Here you go way too fast, don't slow down you're gonna crash"). The lyrics also suggest that the person is in some kind of trouble, perhaps getting into risky situations or breaking the law ("You don't know what's been going down, you've been running all over town").


The chorus is a repeated refrain of "shut your mouth, 'cause I'm not listening anyhow," indicating that the singer is fed up with this person's behavior and doesn't want to hear any excuses or explanations. He's had enough of their drama and wants to distance himself from them ("I've had enough, enough of you, enough to last a lifetime through"). In the end, the singer acknowledges that he's not without fault either ("if I go around with you, you know that I'll get messed up too with you") but seems to be trying to break away from this cycle of destruction.


Overall, the song seems to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of living life without caution or care for the consequences. It's a plea for someone to change their ways before it's too late.

2000s High School seemed to be a lot of fun better than the 2010s.
