Impact
The Creases Lyrics

The lyrics of The Creases's song "Impact" appears to touch on themes of indifference to outside pressure or scrutiny, and a focus on personal priorities instead, particularly in the face of expectant onlookers or critics. The singer claims not to care about the "impact" of something, suggesting that they are not concerned with the potential consequences of their actions or decisions. This could be seen as a display of confidence or perhaps even recklessness, as they claim that "they've got nothing" on them, implying that nothing anyone could say or do would affect them.

The following lines suggest a sense of entitlement or privilege, as the singer declares that they have "time to get used up" and that they are "taking everything that [they] need." This is followed by the repeated phrase "You waiting on me," which adds a sense of obligation or expectation on someone else's part. The verse concludes with the idea that the singer forgets about something in order to "notice something," perhaps implying a deliberate ignorance or avoidance of certain inconvenient truths.

The chorus has a slightly different melody and adds more specific references to memory and a sense of familiarity. The singer claims to "remember" a person or a place, and declares that they will "be there" again. The repeated phrase "just in my head" creates a haunting effect, perhaps implying that these memories or desires are not necessarily grounded in reality, but rather exist only as internal constructs.

Overall, "Impact" seems to be a song about self-assuredness in the face of external expectations, but also a reminder of the importance of personal connections and memories.
