Crush
Paul Van Dyk Feat. Second Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you want me

Can't run away, can't run away from me
I'll navigate the seven seas just to find you
Can't hide away, can't hide away from me
I'll be your shadow when the sun don't shine
I'll be your fly on the wall
Your wrecking ball
Your wake up call on a sleepless night
I'll be your cigarette smoke
Your Junkie's dope
You'll be hanging by a thread and I'll be holding the rope

Cars and planes and boats won't do
Yeah you can be sure I'll find you
I know you want me
Why won't you see me?
If I suffer then you'll too
I'm not alone out in the blue
You can't escape me
I won't just disappear

Can't fly away, can't fly away from me
I'll grab your wings and pull back down
Can't walk away, can't walk away from me
Can't you understand we're meant to be?
I'll be the soles on your feet
Your sticky sheet
Your big black cloud on a sunny day
I'll be your shoulder's chip
Your sinking ship
Don't try to turn the pages, it's not that easy to spit

Cars and planes and boats won't do
Yeah you can be sure I'll find you
I know you want me
Why won't you see me?
If I suffer then you'll too
I'm not alone out in the blue
You can't escape me
I won't just disappear

Don't throw it all away
Because I'll be back for loving





I know you want me

Overall Meaning

In "Crush," Second Sun expresses a feeling of deep and desperate love towards someone who seemingly wants nothing to do with them. The lyrics convey a sense of relentlessness and persistence on Second Sun's part in pursuit of this person. They paint themselves as an almost omnipresent figure that will always be lurking around, waiting to catch the attention of their beloved. They say that they will navigate the seven seas and grab their love's wings if necessary, just to be near them. Second Sun even goes as far as saying that if they suffer, their love will suffer as well, making it clear that the intensity of their love is all-consuming.


The lyrics also have a touch of bitterness and obsession. They make references to being their love's shadow, their big black cloud on a sunny day - alluding to the idea of not only being a constant presence in their life but also being a source of negativity. The chorus "I know you want me, why won't you see me?" repeats several times, highlighting the confusion and frustration that Second Sun feels for not being able to convey their love to the person they desire.


In summary, "Crush" depicts a love that is all-encompassing, relentless, and unrequited. It conveys a sense of obsession and desperation that Second Sun has towards the object of their affection. It's a revealing look into the psyche of someone deeply in love but unable to get the desired response from their beloved.

2022, almost 2023 and I remember the first time I heard this. It still slaps the same as it did back then. This music is timeless.

I saw second son live at Webster Hall in New York City along time ago and they sang the song and I didn’t even know what it was but loved it

@olegblack802

Полностью согласен 🙏
Именно эта версия с вокалом изначально публику захватила.👍 Последующие ремиксы без вокала кажутся пустыми

@andreyturchaninov

I`m listening to almost daily from 2003. Dear Paul, thank you. You can not imagine, how much "Crush" (in both variations) does mean for me. This is one of my life-hits forever.
