Crime
Tobu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You speak the truth
But all I hear are mascurated lies
I'm learning from the shadows
I was right
The rules are broken, like my heart tonight

So break the law sometime
These moments can't rewind
Cause this love is a crime
This love is a crime
A crime
A crime
A crime
A crime
A crime

Cause this love is a crime
This love is a crime

So break the law sometime
These moments can't rewind
Cause this love is a crime
This love is a crime
A crime
A crime
A crime
A crime
A crime

This love is a crime
A crime
A crime





This love is a crime
This love is a crime

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tobu's song "Crime" convey a sense of rebellion and defiance against societal norms that dictate what is considered acceptable behavior in a romantic relationship. The opening lines suggest that the singer is aware that their partner speaks the truth, but they are unable to believe it due to being inundated with lies. The conflict between truth and deception ties into the larger theme of the song, which is that love can sometimes feel like an illicit, forbidden act that goes against established rules and expectations.


The subsequent lines, "I'm learning from the shadows, I was right," indicate that the singer is reluctant to acknowledge the truth because doing so would require them to break away from their current way of life and venture into the unknown. However, despite the risk involved in pursuing a love that society deems a "crime," the singer encourages their partner to break the rules because these moments cannot be undone or replayed.


The repetition of "This love is a crime" throughout the song underscores the idea that love can sometimes feel like an act of rebellion against established norms, and that the thrill of breaking these rules is what makes the love affair so appealing. Ultimately, "Crime" is a song about the tumultuous, sometimes dangerous nature of love, and the lengths that people will go to in order to feel alive.

I already started wondering why my channels are getting so many new likes today :D Now i see... AirwaveMusicTV - you rock! Thank you so much! Those of you who were saying it's a remix, yes it's true, alternative title for this could also be "Avicii & Project 46 feat. You & Daphne - Crime (Tobu Remix)". Technically that would be more accurate, i agree, but didn't wanna make that title so long, since there's nothing from original song, except Daphne's vocals. Hope it's clear and forgivable. - Tobu

One of Tobu's most underrated songs!

@MusaOmair

It's not his song, he just remixed it.

@Lanka_99

@@MusaOmair I know it's a remix from Avicii. He still made it and I like it way more than the original song. It's still a new track when it's remixed.
