Maybe I'm Crazy
Monarchy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm not afraid
Not to try, not to try
To keep you with me
There is just, just one way
For us to be two
I can count just one way
To save me and you
To save me and you
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe I'm a slave to my old self
I'd rather be crazy
Than share you with somebody else
(x2)
Got no creed, I've got no creed
To back up my faults
Only be, I can only be
What's been set for me
Know you're mine, I know you're mine
I can't let you be free
Don't believe, I don't believe
That new is better
That new is better
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe I'm a slave to my old self
I'd rather be crazy
Than share you with somebody else
(x2)
Can't let you go, can't let you go, can't let you go
(x4)
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe I'm a slave to my old self
I'd rather be crazy
Than share you with somebody else
(x4)
The song "Maybe I'm Crazy" by Monarchy presents a complicated relationship dynamic between two individuals. The singer is struggling with being too possessive over their partner, knowing that perhaps it's not healthy behavior. The first stanza presents an internal conflict with the self, yearning for connection but fearful of failure. The second stanza speaks of lacking self-confidence or the "creed" to support oneself in a relationship, leading to an over-controlling behavior. However, the singer is also aware of their partner's value and refuses to let them go, challenging any new potential partner that could take them away.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Maybe I'm crazy" as a sort of mantra, suggesting a self-awareness that their behavior could be deemed irrational, but also reinforces the desire to keep their partner to themselves. The repetition of the phrase creates a sense of urgency and desperation as the singer grapples with their conflicting emotions.
Overall, "Maybe I'm Crazy" speaks to the universal theme of love and the struggles that come with it - the fear of losing, the fear of being alone, and the fear of being hurt. It also touches upon the darker side of relationships, where control, possessiveness, and jealousy can lead to toxic and damaging behavior.

I'm too high, I'm too high

There's only one solution
For us to be two
For us to stay together as a couple

To save me and you
To rescue our relationship
Maybe I'm crazy
