Crazier
Rico Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The more I take a look inside, the more I'm fried
The more I understand the ride, the more I slide
The more you put me back in line, the more I tried
The more you looked into my eyes, the more you lied

I come back crazier, but feel much better
You come back crazier, you'll feel better
The more I disregard the signs, the more I fly
The more I walk across the lines, the more I glide

You come back crazier, but feel much better
You come back crazier, you'll feel better





You come back crazier, but feel much better
You come back crazier, you'll feel better

Overall Meaning

In Rico's song Crazier, the lyrics reflect a person's internal battle with emotions and relationships. The more they try to understand the ups and downs of life, the more they become mentally exhausted and feel like they're sliding down a slippery slope. The more they try to conform and do what they're told, the harder it is for them to stay on track. And when they look into someone's eyes, they realize that they were betrayed and lied to.


The chorus of the song, "You come back crazier, but feel much better. You come back crazier, you'll feel better," highlights the idea that sometimes in order to find clarity and peace, one must go through a chaotic and chaotic period. It might seem daunting to confront one's inner struggles, but it's only in facing them head-on that one can hope to move past them and feel better.


Interestingly, the song's chorus draws inspiration from a quote by the renowned creative artist and writer, Hunter S. Thompson. In his book titled "The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967," he wrote, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." The song's lyrics also include the line, "The more I walk across the lines, the more I glide," which can be interpreted as meaning that sometimes one must step outside of their comfort zone in order to truly find themselves.

I think the fact that most people thought this was a new song proves Gary Numan's timeless sound! He was so far ahead of the curve when he first came out in 1975 and he still is!

@ryanwalker1982

Close, but it was 1978!

@parasite-b9604

@Ryan Walker that's when Tubeway Army came out, but he's been around since 1975.

@questioneverything8301

Should have stuck to electronic not a rock star

@questioneverything8301

@andy morris I have never seen him in concert I would not go to any he does now but I would have gone to the stuff he did in the late 70s and 80s. that was music ahead of it's time. This song seemed like he wanted to play the part in the Prodigy firestarted video

@questioneverything8301

@andy morris I am not saying it is bad just I prefer his earlier stuff than all that dark menacing stuff each to their own though

This was part of the rebirth of Gary's career.

@marpsr

Iโ€™m just flabbergasted at how many kickass songs Gary has written over the years and just keeps writing. Truly remarkable. The man is a hit machine!

@WillCrazie

Gary didnt write this... all down to Rico...

@Wolfsheim23

Numans the only old musician that's still just as badass and hardcore as he used to be. Maybe even moreso.
