Crow
Vitamin F Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's safe to say the evil one don't like me
I chose to live a life that was not mine
And now it seems the closest ones draw at me
And like a crow it picks apart our lives
I have cried this final tear
I have cried my last cry
Find what you're missing
There was a time you came to me, you'd ask me
I tried to give, you took and then we'd fight
You wanted change, you needed change you're laughing
What's funny is you asked me when you cried?
I have cried this final tear
I have cried my last cry
Find what you're missing
Scare away the crow, pray away the crow
I have cried this final tear




I have cried my last cry
Find what you're missing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vitamin F's song Crow speak of the singer's struggles to fit into a certain mold and live a life that wasn't theirs. This has resulted in the evil one - which can be interpreted as a metaphor for negativity, obstacles or simply an unrelenting force - working against them. It seems that those closest to the singer are also acting against them, like a crow picking apart their lives.


The first stanza acknowledges the consequences and struggles that come with not conforming to societal norms. The singer has made the choice to live outside of what is expected of them, and for that reason, they are facing opposition. The second stanza speaks to a specific relationship that has suffered because of this. Someone they knew asked them for help and the singer tried to give it, but they ended up fighting instead. The person wanted change but it seems as though they didn't know what they truly wanted, contradicting themselves by laughing when they asked for help.


The third and final stanza is a resolution of sorts. The singer has cried their final tear, and with that, they are done with the struggle. They tell whoever is listening to find what they're missing, a subtle message that they should aim to be true to themselves instead of trying to fit in. The last line, "Scare away the crow, pray away the crow," can be interpreted in different ways, but it could mean that they are trying to rid themselves of the negativity that has been following them like a crow.


Overall, the song seems to be about the challenges of living a life that's not meant for you, and the importance of finding your own path. It also touches on the fact that people may ask for help or change, but they don't always know what they're really looking for. Ultimately, the song is empowering, with the singer finding strength in their struggles and encouraging others to do the same.
