Crush
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

The song "Crush" by Second Sun speaks of a person who is enamored with someone who seems to be playing hard to get. The singer is persistent in his pursuit, stating that he cannot run, hide or fly away from him as he will be shadowing him in every step of the way. He describes himself as the wrecking ball and wake-up call, as well as the cigarette smoke and junkie's dope that his object of affection can't resist. He even claims to have the upper hand by holding the rope that his love interest will be hanging by. The chorus describes his unwavering persistence and determination to find the object of his affection, despite the distance or means of transportation that he needs to take. He tries to convince his love interest that they are meant to be together, and if he suffers, then she will too. The bridge of the song presses the point further, saying that the singer will grab the wings and stop his love interest from flying away, that he will be her sticky sheet, her cloud on a sunny day, and her chip on the shoulder, and people should not try to turn the page and forget about him that quickly.


The song portrays the theme of unrequited love in a stalker-like fashion. The singer demands that his love interest reciprocate his feelings and sees their separation as pointless. Despite the seemingly obsessive tone of the lyrics, the song does not convey a message that it is okay to harass or stalk someone who is not interested in you. Instead, it depicts an exaggerated form of infatuation that is never realized. The song's upbeat tune and heavily distorted guitar riffs match the intense energy coming from the lyrics, making it a dance-worthy track.

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.

@cedrictheartist3037

Found it after years of searching!

@scousedave1917

@@cedrictheartist3037 I hope it brought back some class memories for you.

@DJmicaiah

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.
