CRAZY LOVE
Monsters Are Waiting Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I tell you then will you explain
If I tell you then will you listen
To a bitter taste

If I tell you then will you pretend
I still try to forget
If I die without saying I exist
I cannot hide so I try to rewind this
Crazy love of mine
I fight in the spotlight
And it's bright.do I hide it
Way down in this cold night

Well I know I'd be playing
The subtleties have gone away
If I could make you understand then
Apologies wouldn't change things

I cannot hide so I try to rewind this
Crazy love of mine
I fight in the spotlight
And it's bright.do I hide it
Way down in this cold night

Out in the trees and what's left
Of this ending me
I've been awake
And I've been in your dreams
When I can feel that your mine
But you're drifting away
In a town in the lake of your shining face

I cannot hide so I try to rewind this
Crazy love of mine
I fight in the spotlight




And it's bright.do I hide it
Way down in this cold night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Monsters Are Waiting's "Crazy Love" convey a sense of desperation and longing for someone who doesn't quite reciprocate the same feelings. The singer is questioning whether they should reveal their true emotions and risk rejection, hoping the other person will listen and understand the aching, "bitter taste" of their love. They worry that even if they do express themselves, it won't make a difference or change the fact that the subtleties of their feelings have been lost. The singer also struggles with the visibility of their love - it's in the "spotlight" but they wonder if they should hide it away in secrecy.


Despite these insecurities, the singer can't help but hold onto their "crazy love", even when it feels like the other person is slipping away. The imagery of being "out in the trees" and the "ending me" suggest a feeling of being lost or without direction, yet they still hold onto the hope of being close to the other person in their dreams. The tension between wanting to reveal their love and fearing rejection, as well as the struggle to hold onto fleeting feelings, create a poignant and relatable sentiment in the song.
