In The Shadows
"Freeway Crush" by Ruby Haunt is a nostalgic and dreamy track that paints a picture of a youthful summer love that has been lost in the years that have passed. The lyrics convey the sense of longing for a simpler time where the rush of young love and the promise of what could be seemed endless. The opening lines "Shallow Water, Pretty Smile, Getting Faster, Wait A While" set the scene for a night-time adventure that carries through the rest of the song. The idea of a "Dead Teenage Heart" suggests a sort of self-destructive nature to this drive and thirst for adventure that accompanies young love.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the relationship has ended and the sense of longing becomes more poignant. The "Praying Light" that "Will Bring My Start" suggests a hopeful outlook despite knowing that the relationship has already ended. The repetition of "Burning in the Shadows" conveys the sense of a moment frozen in time, the longing that the singer feels never fades despite the passage of time. The last lines of the song leave us on a bittersweet note, the singer recognizes that the relationship is over but still holds onto the memories of it, and the person they used to be with.
Overall, "Freeway Crush" is a song that captures a wistful sense of nostalgia and the power that memories of young love can still hold, years after it has ended.
