Crashing Around You Lyrics

I am your nightmare, true scares
that dream when you can't stop from falling
can't fight, cant run
can't stop the person you've become

I am your heartbreaks mistakes
that place inside you hate
I am that shadow following every move reminding you
that its never good enough, never good enough
even though you'll try and try
i'm gonna call your bluff
because I am the thing bringing the feeling...

You world comes crashing around you
smashing around you
when will you see that you cannot hide from me ?

When you feel darkness, hopeless
can't cope with all the stress
i'll make you hate life bring strife
remember failures hardened stare
and its never gonna change never gonna change
always they'll be judging you
compare to who and who
you trust in me but i only live to see

You world comes crashing around you
smashing around you
when will you see that you cannt hide from me ?

When i come for you
when i see you through
when i eat through you
when i destroy you

You'll think your betrayed, astray
i'll leave you ripped and torn so bad you
can't trust can't love
can't understand why lifes so fucked
Im deep inside your mind
in constant remind
if you leave your thoughts to me. Believe
I'll make sure that i see

You world comes crashing around you
smashing around you
when will you see that you cannt hide from me ?


I'll make your world come crashing around you
smashing around you
i'll let you see why you cannot hide from me
because i am you

Too bad the music video was never played because of Sep. 11. The video showed them playing on a burning skyscraper, plus the title "Crashing around you"... just really bad timing (it came out before the attacks though).

This is my favorite MH song. It's f*ckin' sick! Reminds me of me as well.

Machine Head is so f*cking tight. Great band that doesn't get enough recognition. Amazing song, about someone that runs everything i their life. Probably trying not to let people get too close. Just my opinion. Right on!!!

this reminds me of metallica's sad but true - about a split personality which eventually takes over and destroys your life. its cool, very cool

Cover art for Crashing Around You lyrics by Machine Head

this song is about the voices that talk crap about you inside your head. When ever your really frustrated and can't control your anger this is what happens to you

I could be wrong, but the fact that Rob Flynn has admitted that Metallica were a huge influence to him, makes me think that this song is (at least in part) his way of 'tipping his hat' to Metallica's "Sad but true", being that both are about the negative side of the human psyche.

On the live version of this song, Rob starts off talking about the song. He is saying about how he wrote the song when he was \"so pissed off at the world that day\". He talks about a voice in his head saying how it was \"making me want to be mad, fuck up and self-destruct\" and he was the only one who thought these thoughts and alone in the world, but he knows his fans are with him

the song is about feelings depressed, your mind says you are unhappy and if you don't let the crap get you down then you are happier, but it is really hard..

It's not about split personalities, my gosh... The lyrics aren't hard to figure out, even for me, and Flynn has been recorded during a live performance saying what sickknot wrote above. The lyrics are about that voice inside you...not always literally a voice, sometimes just a feeling...of self-consciousness during times of stress. It's a bit hard to explain I guess. But you know it when you experience it.
