Car Crash
Seymour Glass Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spinning, Kelly had you all and what your thinking
We wanted a life so high and now that your breaking
We won't let this car crash, succumb and take away
We won't let this car crash take it and break it all away

We're in a car crash

It's kind of phony but I like to fall and now that I'm breaking
We wanted to just get by, how we end up faking it?
I'd give you all a way for a chance to breathe and feel like me
I'd give you all away and break you

Withstand, can't shake this off

We're in a car crash

So, here we go again
Staring as you pass me by, so take it in
So, here we go again
Said it's going by too fast, so take it in

So what's up and how've you been?
Where you headed? My life's been
I wish we would've broke this
A long, long time ago

So what's up and where you headed?
My life's been a car crash
They'll take away from me
They'll take away

We're in a car crash





We're on our way
I lost my way home

Overall Meaning

The song "Car Crash" by Seymour Glass seems to be a commentary on the fast-paced and chaotic nature of modern life. The lyrics describe a feeling of being caught up in a car crash, presumably both literally and metaphorically. The singer is reflective, questioning how they ended up in the situation they find themselves in, and wishing they could "break this" and return to a simpler life. The song hints at an underlying sense of desperation, as the characters try to hold on and not let their lives spin out of control.


One notable aspect of the song is the use of repetition in the chorus: "We're in a car crash / So, here we go again / Staring as you pass me by, so take it in." This repetition highlights the circular nature of the character's lives, constantly going through the same motions and feeling trapped in their current situation. The lyrics also play with themes of loss and sacrifice, with lines like "I'd give you all a way for a chance to breathe and feel like me / I'd give you all away and break you." These lyrics could suggest the character's willingness to sacrifice their relationships for the chance at a simpler, more peaceful life.


Overall, "Car Crash" is a poignant and introspective look at the pressures and chaos of modern life, delivered through Seymour Glass's unique and emotive musical style.

@@Horible4 You cannot make the world entirely safe, partner. All activies come with risk.

I'm at risk walking down the street, does that mean walking is dangerous?

There's a chance I might slip and fall in the tub and end up paralyzed, does that mean I should never shower?

A lawnmower is a dangerous machine, does that mean I should never cut my grass?

Food poisoning is a very real thing, but damned if I'm going to incinerate my steak.

You can take REASONABLE precautions, sure... but if you're terrified of everything that MIGHT hurt you, you're going to have an awfully dull life, ain'tcha? Wouldn't you agree that sometimes the rewards outweigh the risk?

I've had to lay a bike down twice, and yes, it sucked both times. But I still ride because I enjoy it. I just don't act the fool like the biker-boiz in the video.

It was an accident. If it's anyone's fault, it's the fault of the biker in the back.

Always love how reporters smile while reporting someone died and then provide bad information as factual news.
