KV Crimes Lyrics

I should have known
My heart has overgrown
Do you risk it exploding all over
Well you better get over this one
With a load on

The time has come
And I believe I've come to for to tell you
But somethings always in the way

Well alright, what now
That's fine, I think I'm ready
To claim what's mine
Rightfullyyyeah

Crestfallen
Dejected with an east coast crush(crutch)
Daydreaming through the dark days
Club Monte on holiday
Witha moon duo
Space partners

Well alright, what now
That's fine, I think I'm ready
To claim what's mine
Rightfullyyyeah

The time has come
And I think I came to
[Indistinguishable] ever so slightlyyyeah

I could have called this
Saw a mile away
Baby stay

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I read on Stereogum where they think this song is about "the guilt of being on tour, trying to hang out with the psych wizards in Moon Duo when you just want to be back home with your kids"

So that very well could be what it means and probably is, but below is what I originally thought (probably wrong) before reading that...

he starts out talking about how his "heart has overgrown" (he has let some love grow too much - I'm assuming he loves a girl he's been around) and wonders "do you risk it exploding all over?" This makes me think he's unsure and scared that she won't like him if he tells her that he loves her.

"well you better get a load of this one with a load on"

not sure, but might be saying maybe he or she or both should be drunk when he tells her (with a load on - loaded = drunk/fucked up) while also using the term "get a load of this one" like a nonchalant "hey check this out...uh I love you"

"the time has come and I believe I've come too, for to tell you but somethin's always in the way"

he keeps wanting to tell her but "somethin's" always keeping him from saying it (his nervousness I'd think)

"all right, what now? that's fine, I think I'm ready to claim what's mine, rightfully, yeah..."

I think he's just pepping himself up to tell her he loves her, she's his, etc. etc.

"crestfallen, dejected with the east coast crutch daydreamin, through the dark days club mate, on holiday with the Moon Duo (space partners)"

"crestfallen, dejected" - she must have rejected him
he's daydreaming to try not to think about the "dark days" of the rejection
I think the "holiday" drinking club mate (non-acoholic) and hanging with the Moon Duo (a band) probably just saying he's hanging with his friends (probably to east the pain and not think about it)

"all right, what now? ...the time has come and i think i came too bleedin, bleedin ever so slightly, yeah...

i could have called this saw it a mile away: "baby, stay.""

- okay, so the "time came" to tell her and it didn't work (he's "bleedin"), and thinks, man, I could have called this...I knew it wouldn't work (reason he waited so long to tell her in the first place ("somethin's always in the way")
- "baby stay" is just a final plea I think
