Crash
Mesh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See the vapors fading
As they stare into the night
Every time it's getting harder
To be buttoned up so tight

Don't do anything to us today
(You're only flesh and bone
You really never know)
There's nothing left to take away
(You're only flesh and bone
You really never know)

I know the crash is coming
Cause I smell the fuel in the morning
I hear the engine start
But I'll find my own way down

I know the crash is coming
Cause I smell the fuel in the morning
I hear the engine start
But I'll find my own way down

I hear the sleepers waking
As they stare into the skies
All our lives, the rivets breaking
As we struggle up so high

Don't do anything to us today
(You're only flesh and bone
You really never know)
There's nothing left to take away
(You're only flesh and bone
You really never know)

I know the crash is coming
Cause I smell the fuel in the morning
I hear the engine start
But I'll find my own way down

I know the crash is coming
Cause I smell the fuel in the morning
I hear the engine start
But I'll find my own way down

I see the takers taking
And relive it all again
Every time a little closer
To the truth without the pain

Don't do anything to us today
(You're only flesh and bone
You really never know)
There's nothing left to play the game
(You're only flesh and bone
You really never know)

I know the crash is coming
Cause I smell the fuel in the morning
I hear the engine start
But I'll find my own way down
(You really never know)

I know the crash is coming
Cause I smell the fuel in the morning
I hear the engine start
But I'll find my own way down

I know the crash is coming
Cause I smell the fuel in the morning
I know the crash is coming
Cause I smell the fuel in the morning





There's nothing left to take
There's no one left who wants to stay

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Mesh's song "Crash" describe a feeling of impending doom and a desire to escape it. The first verse begins with the image of vapors fading into the night, emphasizing the transitory and fleeting nature of life. The next line, "Every time it's getting harder to be buttoned up so tight", suggests a growing sense of constraint and difficulty in navigating life's challenges.


The chorus repeats the phrase "I know the crash is coming, 'cause I smell the fuel in the morning" three times, creating a sense of inevitability and foreboding. Despite this, the singer asserts that they will "find [their] own way down" rather than be a passive victim.


The second verse uses the metaphor of "the sleepers waking" to describe people's growing awareness of the larger forces at work in the world. The line "All our lives, the rivets breaking as we struggle up so high" suggests that every person is a part of a larger system and that the system is becoming increasingly unstable.


The final verse introduces the idea of "takers taking" and the cyclical nature of history. The repetition of the line "I know the crash is coming, 'cause I smell the fuel in the morning" underscores the inevitability of the impending disaster. The final line, "There's no one left who wants to stay", implies that the singer has found a way to escape the crash and move on to something new.


Overall, "Crash" is a song about facing the reality of an uncertain and potentially dangerous world, and finding the courage to take control of one's own fate.

I hear the sleepers waking As they stare into the skies All our lives, the rivets breaking As we struggle up so high
Noticing those who were resting coming to their senses, they look up towards the heavens to see how high we've soared, realizing with each step we take towards greatness, the little bits that keep everything in place start to crack and fall apart, causing additional hardship.


There's nothing left to play the game (You're only flesh and bone You really never know)

I know the crash is coming Cause I smell the fuel in the morning I hear the engine start But I'll find my own way down (You really never know)
Resolute in the fact that a disaster looms given the smell of fuel at daybreak and the sound of the plane's propeller starting, but a determination to take control of the situation and chart a course of their own making despite the uncertainty.


There's nothing left to take There's no one left who wants to stay
Everything worthwhile has been stripped away with no one left who desires to remain.
