Crash

EDEN's song 'Crash' delves into the complexities of growing up, dealing with past traumas, and the bittersweet nature of personal growth. The lyrics reflect a journey through time, marked by the passage of years and the emotional scars left behind. The song opens with a reflection on the years that have passed since a significant person left the narrator's life. This departure has left a lasting impact, shaping the narrator's identity and dreams. The line 'Yeah, I grew up to be exactly what you wanted' suggests a struggle to meet expectations, possibly those of a parent or a mentor, and the realization that these expectations have deeply influenced their path.

The chorus introduces a sense of disillusionment and self-awareness. The narrator acknowledges that they are not who they thought they were, and the metaphor of 'brown eyes' that can be 'green if they really want' symbolizes the fluidity of identity and perception. The lyrics 'silence is better than fake laughs' and 'living through cracked screens' highlight the superficiality and disconnection in modern communication, emphasizing the difficulty of genuine human connection in a digital age. The imagery of 'cascading down' and 'diffusing light' evokes a sense of falling and confusion, mirroring the emotional turbulence of growing up.

As the song progresses, the narrator confronts their inner turmoil and the slow pace of change. The line 'If you hate what's in your head, the fuck would you speak your mind?' captures the internal conflict and the struggle to express oneself authentically. The narrator's admission of feeling 'fucked up' and the realization that they are 'not just lonely' but also dealing with deeper issues signifies a moment of self-acceptance and the beginning of healing. The song ends on a note of tentative hope, acknowledging that while the narrator doesn't feel much better, recognizing their struggles is a crucial first step towards recovery.
