Crickets
Wild Sweet Orange Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was in the backseat going crazy
Like I've never seen the twilight glow before
Neurotic and praying for a green light
Between no man's land at the border of Mexico

I can hear those crickets
I know they're telling of something
Something were not too old yet to ignore

She don't believe anything she don't believe anything
But I would believe anything I would believe anything
And why wont you listen to me she said listen to me
She goes my heart breaks, my love for you will never change

I was in the backseat going crazy
Like a long drive home I've never known before
Oh we can't win my friends
Yeah the wedding party took me in
And like a match in the dark
The carves in my heart went away

I can still feel the backbeat
That soul bands playing
As I set my glass down and danced my blues away

But I don't believe anything I don't believe anything
And she would believe anything she would believe anything
And why wont you listen to me baby listen to me
Oh when the sun goes down I will always see your face
she goes my heart breaks my love for you will never change

I don't believe anything I don't believe anything (she dont believe anything she dont believe anything)
She would believe anything she would believe anything (I don't believe anything I don't believe anything)
Oh why wont you listen to me please believe what I say
She goes my heart breaks my love for you will never change





Oh when the sun goes down I will always see x3
your face...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wild Sweet Orange's song "Crickets" speak of a restless narrator who is on a road trip towards the border of Mexico. The singer is anxious and neurotic, seeking a "green light" that will allow him to move forward. He can hear crickets chirping, which he interprets as a warning of something important that he shouldn't ignore. The singer is accompanied by a female partner who doesn't believe anything that he is saying, while he would believe anything. The chorus repeats this contrast between their beliefs and the singer's plea for her to listen to him. A memory of a wedding party that the singer attended interrupts his anxiety, and he vividly describes the music and the dance, both of which provide a temporary relief from his uneasiness. However, the song's conclusion suggests that the singer's underlying love and affection for his female companion, despite their differences, will remain unchanged.


Line by Line Meaning

I was in the backseat going crazy
I was in a state of mental chaos in the backseat of a car


Like I've never seen the twilight glow before
I'd never seen such a beautiful sunset before


Neurotic and praying for a green light
I was anxious, nervous and hoping for a signal to move forward


Between no man's land at the border of Mexico
In a remote area near the border of Mexico


I can hear those crickets
I can hear the sound of crickets chirping


I know they're telling of something
I am sure they're trying to convey a message


Something were not too old yet to ignore
It's something we're not too mature to overlook


She don't believe anything she don't believe anything
She doesn't easily trust any information or person


But I would believe anything I would believe anything
I am very gullible and would easily believe anything


And why wont you listen to me she said listen to me
She wants to know why I am not paying attention to her


She goes my heart breaks, my love for you will never change
She expresses her love for me despite the sadness I cause her


Like a long drive home I've never known before
It's like a new, unfamiliar journey back home


Oh we can't win my friends
Oh, my buddies, it's a hopeless situation


Yeah the wedding party took me in
I was welcomed by the wedding attendees


And like a match in the dark
And like a small flame in a dark room


The carves in my heart went away
The wounds in my heart healed


I can still feel the backbeat
I can still sense the rhythm of the music


That soul bands playing
The soulful band is performing


As I set my glass down and danced my blues away
As I finished my drink and danced to forget my worries


But I don't believe anything I don't believe anything
I have trust issues and don't believe much


And she would believe anything she would believe anything
She is more trusting than me and can be easily convinced


And why wont you listen to me baby listen to me
She pleads with me to pay attention to her


Oh when the sun goes down I will always see your face
I will always remember her face when the day ends


she goes my heart breaks my love for you will never change
She feels sad, but her affection for me remains the same


Oh why wont you listen to me please believe what I say
She implores me to trust what she says


Oh when the sun goes down I will always see x3 your face...
Repeating the previous line, emphasizing the lasting image of her face in my mind
