About This Track

'Crash' by McFly is a 2023 Pop track from the album 'Power to Play'. The lyrics lean hard into self-loathing and a sense of being trapped, with the narrator wishing they could be “anyone else but me”. There is talk of an ongoing fall, of a crash that will still be heard, and of collapse played as something intimate and inward. The song also gestures towards loneliness and longing, including a relationship framed through imagined voices and ghosts, before landing on the blunt, self-indicting admission that the narrator is imploding.

"Crash" is a track by McFly, from the album Power to Play, released 8th June 2023. The track is 1:41 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about McFly.

Lyrics

Crash

I wish I was anyone else but me, I'm weak
Foolishly stuck in a rut that screams defeat at me

And the fall may take a while
But the crash will be heard for miles
Another self indulgent song about self loathing I'm imploding

I miss you screaming me to sleep, so sweet
Now I kiss the ghosts that cause the creeks to speak

And the fall may take a while
But the crash will be heard for miles
Another self indulgent song about self loathing, I'm imploding

I wish I was anyone else but me, I'm weak
Foolishly stuck in a rut that screams defeat

And the fall may take a while
But the crash will be heard for miles
Another self indulgent song about self loathing, I'm imploding
