Crush
eleven eleven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for feelings to go away and love to come our way
It's crush after crush, it's love after love
It's reasonable doubts and breaking all of our vows
So we'll crush and burn wondering when it's our turn
To be loved as much as we yearn and yearn for
Something long-term, we've got so much to learn
We'll wish that we weren't such repressed introverts
This just isn't working when I cast my own curse
On my love life, my confidence, my whole universe
Gotta snap out of it before this gets any worse
Than it is, I wish, that I had my first kiss
Let me out of this tangled-up story, out of these
Hieroglyphs, angel numbers, cartwheels off of cliffs
Been fun but I think that I'm done, think I'm happy like this
Think I'm happy like this
Think I'm happy like this
Think I'm happy like this
Here's to my babes with not much to say
Going on another date and hoping it'll work some day
How are other people marrying their high school loves
I didn't even date till after my nineteenth birthday
So we'll crush and burn wondering when it's our turn
To be loved as much as we yearn and yearn for
Something long-term, we've got so much to learn
We'll wish that we weren't such repressed introverts
But I won't crush and burn, won't get in the hearse
This just isn't working when I cast my own curse
On my love life, my confidence, my whole universe
Gotta snap out of it before this gets any worse
Than it is, I wish, that I had my first kiss
Let me out of this tangled-up story, out of these
Hieroglyphs, angel numbers, cartwheels off of cliffs
Been fun but I think that I'm done, think I'm happy like this
Think I'm happy like this
Think I'm happy like this
Think I'm happy like this
I'm back at our spot, left the front door unlocked
I'm driving to Utah and then to Vermont
And then to L.A., I'm running away
Bring me back if you wanna be my reason to stay
Or get in the car, and let me make known to you
All of my tragedies like how I went through
Being just one more friend that fell in love with them
While they were just one more of my creative obsessions
But I won't crush and burn, won't get in the hearse
I've decided that I refuse to cast my own curse
On my love life, my confidence, my whole universe
Gonna snap out of it before this gets any worse
Than it is, I wish, that I had my first kiss
Let me out of this tangled-up story, out of these
Hieroglyphs, angel numbers, cartwheels off of cliffs
It's been fun but I think that I'm done, think I'm happy like this
Think I'm happy meeting someone new
Think I'm happy like this, think I'm happier
Happy with you
The lyrics of "Crush" by Eleven Eleven can be interpreted as a love story with a bittersweet twist. The opening lines refer to a "fading sketch" and "fading hearts," perhaps alluding to a relationship that has lost its vibrancy or is coming to an end. The next lines suggest a nonverbal connection between the two lovers as they near the end of their days together. They are unable to express their feelings in words, but there is still an unmistakable intimacy and shared understanding between them.
Despite this intimacy, the repeated chorus of "I'll crush you darling, I'll crush you darling" carries a sense of foreboding. The use of the word "crush" in this context suggests both passion and violence. The line "I'll kiss your lips to closing as you fall" could be interpreted as a final act of love or as a violent act of betrayal. It is up to the listener to decide which interpretation resonates more strongly with them.
The final stanza of the song brings in additional imagery, referencing the idea of shedding old identities and embracing new ones. The spirals and dust evoke a sense of transformation and renewal, while the focus on clothing ("lost in lace arrays" and "dressing to amaze") suggests that the singer is trying to present themselves in the best possible light. However, the repeated chorus still carries an ominous undertone, hinting at a dark ending to the relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
Three colors of a fading sketch
The memories we have of each other are slowly fading, and it feels like we're losing our connection.
And fading hearts forever fetch
Our hearts ache as we slowly drift apart from each other, and it seems like we can't get them back.
And we speak in wordless ways
We struggle to communicate with each other, and it feels like there's nothing to say.
As we approach and end to days
As our time together comes to an end, we realize that we might not have expressed our feelings enough.
And I'll crush you darling
I'll break your heart even further by leaving you.
I'll crush you darling
I'll hurt you even though I don't want to.
I'll kiss your lips to closing as you fall
I'll say goodbye to you and make it seem peaceful, but it'll be the end of us.
I promise you won't feel a thing at all
I'll try to make it easier for you, even though it's not going to be easy.
I'll follow you
I'll be there for you until the end.
Then follow me
And when it's time for me to go, I hope you can follow me too.
To shed again, this final then
To let go of our past and start a new journey together.
Take my hand in trust
Let's trust each other and take the leap of faith together.
Your spiraled dizzy love
Your love can be overwhelming and confusing, but I'll still take it.
Is soft and velvet clean
Your love is pure and comforting.
But the dust has been unseen
Our love has been hidden and forgotten, and we need to bring it back.
And you're dressing to amaze
You're trying to impress me, but I already love you for who you are.
But you're lost in lace arrays
You're getting lost in superficial things, and we need to focus on what really matters.
