Crash and Burn

from Stories by Misha Bear

about

This is a song that looks at where we are as a society, what is important to us, and where we are headed. When we care about money and appearances we can get hung up on the superficial things in life, complaining and getting upset about small things. We are all essentially searching and yearning for more, there is a deep, empty void in each of us, but filling it with our first-world comforts is not the answer. The song looks at how tough life can be on your own, and how people need to stick together to create new perspectives and priorities in our current world.

lyrics

CRASH AND BURN
Rolling, rolling up the hill
I could still fall and tumble down
Just say the first words that pop in your head
I somehow doubt that they will be profound
Could you ever satiate me
Could you make me be so full?
One single person is never enough
My emptiness runs deep

Some things just come naturally
Others we have to try for
I’ve got holes in every pair of jeans
Spilled milk’s not worth crying for

When did life get so extreme
Weighed down by all of our first world problems
Is there more than being scene
Is there more than self-created dramas
We don’t know other ways of being
Our cashed up lives our burden
One single person is never enough
Our emptiness runs deep

And I believe we’ll get there slowly
Get there slowly
Slow and steady
Cos this fire’s burning in me
And I don’t want to
Crash and burn
Crash and burn
Crash and burn
Crash and burn

Will we start to get somewhere
cos I feel like this is getting draining
Will we start showing that we care
or will we just keep on fucking complaining?
You could never satiate me
No, you could never make me be so full
One single person is never enough
My emptiness runs deep

And I believe we’ll get there slowly
Get there slowly
Slow and steady
