crumble
Modwheelmood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take your time
You will remember us
Don't be late
You don't be late with us
Need to try
You will remember us
Here today
You live today

Saturday is almost over
Getting high on stormy weather
Something to remember
A sunny day can make you crumble
Ask me why you don't feel better
Almost two feet underwater
Maybe you'll remember
Sunny days just make you crumble

Take the time
Your place is here with us
Don't be afraid
It will get easier
Come inside
You have to sleep with us
It's not too late
Don't be afraid

Saturday is almost over
Getting high on stormy weather
Something to remember
A sunny day can make you crumble
Ask me why you won't feel better
Almost ten feet underwater
No-one will remember
A rainy day lasts forever
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Goodbye summertime

Crumble
Stumble
Hollow
Swallow

Saturday is almost over
Getting high on stormy weather
Something to remember
Sunny days just make you crumble
Ask me why you don't feel better
Almost ten feet underwater




Remember
Goodbye summertime

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Crumble" by Modwheelmood speak to both the fleeting nature of time and the fragile state of the human psyche. The opening lines urge the listener to take their time and remember those around them, warning that being late or failing to try will result in regret. The chorus focuses on how a bright, sunny day can have a negative impact, making one feel like they are crumbling. The second verse urges the listener to come inside and sleep with "us," implying perhaps a sense of community or support for those suffering.


The repeated line "Saturday is almost over" suggests a sense of urgency, as if time is running out. The idea that a sunny day can make one crumble speaks to the notion that times of high expectations (such as summer, for example) can be sources of disappointment, while the line "a rainy day lasts forever" speaks to the opposite notion that times of low expectations can feel interminable. The "dream on" chant at the end of the song could be seen as an acknowledgement of the ephemeral nature of existence, with the command to keep dreaming despite this fact.


Overall, "Crumble" seems to be a meditation on time, memory, and mental health, with a focus on how even the most pleasant of experiences can sometimes cause us to feel like we are falling apart.

I listened to this song one late Saturday evening while driving through a snow storm in near-white-out conditions. "Saturday is almost over. Getting high on stormy weather" never felt truer to me.
