The lyrics to the song "Crash" by The Primitives seem to express an air of warning and caution to someone who is going too fast and risks crashing. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize the fact that the person is going "way too fast" and that they should "watch their step" or else they will "break their neck". It is a warning sign to someone who might be taking too many risks and mess up their life.
The second part of the lyrics seems to address someone specific who the singer has had enough of. The tone is more hostile, with the singer telling this person to shut their mouth because they're not listening. The lyrics state that this person being addressed knows that if they continue to be around the singer, they both will get messed up. The chorus repeats with the same warning and seems almost like a plea to the person to slow down and not take so many risks.
Overall, the lyrics of this song emphasize the dangers of recklessness and the importance of being careful. It also touches on the idea of peer pressure and how influential those around us can be on our behavior.
Here you goThis is a warning to be careful, to pay attention to the situation
Way too fastYou're moving too fast to realize the danger
Don't slow downIf you don't take hold of the situation now, you will never be able to control it
Gonna crashIf you don't slow down, you'll crash and burn
You should watchYou should be paying more attention
Watch your stepBe careful of the path you're taking
Don't lookoutYou're not looking where you're going
Gonna break your neckYou're going to get hurt if you keep going this way
So shut shut your mouthI'm tired of hearing what you have to say
'Cause I'm not listening anyhowI don't want to hear it anymore
I've had enough enough of youI'm done with you
You know to last a lifetime throughI can't deal with you anymore
So what do you want of meWhat do you need from me?
Got no words of sympathyI can't be there for you anymore
And if I go around with youIf I keep hanging out with you
You know that I'll get messed up too with youI'll end up in trouble with you
Nana nana na nana nana naaaaaInstrumental
Nana nana na nana nana naaaaaInstrumental
You don't knowYou're not aware of the situation
What's been going downThe situation has become complicated or dangerous
You've been runningYou've been trying to avoid the situation
Allover townEverywhere you go, there's still danger lurking
Got no cure for miseryI can't help you with your problems
And if I go about with youIf I continue to spend time with you
You know that I'll get messed up too with youI'll get into trouble as well
With youTogether, we'll both suffer the consequences
