Crush

Cannons' song 'Crush' delves into the intense emotions that arise when a simple infatuation evolves into something much deeper. The lyrics vividly describe the physical and emotional reactions that occur when the singer is near their love interest. Phrases like 'I feel my heart exploding' and 'My blood begins to rush' capture the overwhelming sensations that accompany this profound connection, suggesting that what they are experiencing transcends a mere crush.

The repetition of the word 'crush' throughout the song emphasizes the internal conflict and realization that the feelings are far more significant than initially perceived. The singer's heart 'skips a beat or two' and they feel 'lost in a dream,' indicating a sense of enchantment and captivation. The lyrics 'It's feeling like déjà vu' and 'all these years of running, they led me straight to you' suggest a sense of destiny and inevitability, as if the singer's journey has always been leading to this moment of profound connection.

The song also touches on themes of commitment and enduring love. The lines 'Promise when the night turns into the Sun, you'll be here, still holding on' and 'Baby, when the light turns into the dark, you'll be there, still holding on' convey a desire for a lasting relationship that withstands the test of time. This reinforces the idea that the feelings described are not fleeting but are rooted in a deeper, more meaningful bond. Cannons' dreamy, synth-pop sound complements the lyrical content, creating an ethereal atmosphere that mirrors the surreal and intense emotions of falling deeply in love.
