Climax
Usher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Going nowhere fast
We've reached the climax
We're together, now we're undone
Won't commit so we choose to
Run away
Do we separate? Oh
Don't wanna give in so we both gave up
Can't take it back, it's too late, we've reached the climax
Climax

I've fallen somehow
Feet off the ground
Love is the cloud
That keeps raining down
Where are you now
When I need you around?
I'm on my knees, but it seems we're

Going nowhere fast
We've reached the climax
We're together, now we're undone
Won't commit so we choose to
Run away
Do we separate? Oh
Don't wanna give in so we both gave up
Can't take it back, it's too late, we've reached the climax
Climax

I gave my best, it wasn't enough
You get upset, we argue too much
We made a mess of what used to be love
So why do I care, I care at all?
At all
At all
At all

Going nowhere fast
We've reached the climax
We're together, now we're undone
Won't commit so we choose to
Run away
Do we separate? Oh
Don't wanna give in so we both gave up
Can't take it back, it's too late, we've reached the climax
Climax

You say it's better if we
Love each other separately
I just need you one more time
I can't get what we had out my mind
Where are you now
When I need you around?
I'm on my knees
But it seems we're going

Nowhere fast
We've reached the climax
We're together, now we're undone
Won't commit so we choose to
Run away
Do we separate? Oh
Don't wanna give in so we both gave up
Can't take it back, it's too late, we've reached the climax
Climax

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Usher's song Climax reveal a sense of resignation and acceptance in a toxic relationship that has reached its end point. The song begins with a realistic acknowledgement that the couple is "going nowhere fast," indicating that their relationship has become stagnant and is not progressing. The chorus suggests that the couple has reached the climax of their relationship, implying that things cannot get any better, and that they are both aware of this fact.


The lines "can't take it back, it's too late, we've reached the climax" emphasize a sense of finality, indicating that the relationship has run its course and that there's no turning back. The second verse suggests that the two people in the relationship have tried their best to make things work, but that their efforts have been insufficient. The lines "I gave my best, it wasn't enough, you get upset, we argue too much" suggest a level of frustration and exhaustion with each other, which may have led to the couple's decision to end things.


The climax of the song is marked by the line "You say it's better if we love each other separately," which suggests that although the couple is choosing to separate, there is still a sense of desire to be together. The repeated line "where are you now, when I need you around?" indicates a sense of longing and loneliness, implying that the couple had once been happier together. Overall, the lyrics to Climax paint a picture of a relationship that has reached its breaking point, and while both parties may be aware that it's time to move on, there is still a sense of sadness and loss.
