CrushCrushCrush! - They Say She's Evil...That Girl With the Hazel Eyes - 3:31
Lauren said: I quite like this...haha what am I talking about, I totally love it. It's actually a bit of a mix between a new track and some lyrics I wrote when Cassie was trying to muscle her way into Big Light Show. The parts she wrote were violent though....so I left those out. The song is supposed to be ironic, and like kinda sarcastic.
It's sort of about this guy who was in a relationship with a couple of years back. His parents were total asses, and for some reason they took this dislike to me. It got to the extent that any time we had a fight, no matter who was to blame, his mother would call me up, and blame me, for like, him not sleeping, and feeling poorly and whatever is. The truth was, I always tried to be sweet to her, but you know, I'm not having a dig, I just think it makes for an interesting song.
I'm not really such a bad girlfriend as I say in the song....so don't run a mile guys. It's just a little bit of dark humour for ya :P
Aaron said: Am I supposed to talk about the lyrics too? I didn't write them? Oh...the music! Sound. Yeah...well, hi, this is Aaron! I play like guitar and do a little bit of backing vocals too. I wrote this song with Lauren quite a while back actually. We were just messing around and stuff, and this is what we came out with. I like the lyrics from her, and I think it's refreshing to see someone almost have a dig at themselves you know?
Musically...yeah, it's supposed to sound vibrant, fun, loud and energetic. It's just pop-punk you know....good honest fun music. I always take a band as a template when I'm trying to map out how the song should sound, and for this one, I decided to use a bit of a mix between Blink 182 and Good Charlotte. So it has like the cheery, upbeat energy of Blink, but also the sort of pace that you could attribute to GC.
Yeah..so....not a man of many words...en....joy.
This song is the second to be released by CrushCrushCrush!from their debut demo disc. The song is a punchy pop-punk effort dealing with relationships and perceptions. It begins with a quick, choppy guitar and drum section, which then goes silent, before the large, sweeping verse comes in.
Each of the verses is sung in a rather aggressive voice, which still somehow manages to sound cheery, over the top of slow yet chirpy guitar chords.
The choruses sound a lot chunkier and quicker, and are reminiscent of earlier Blink 182...but with a girl on the mic.
The song ends with a group chanting over slightly heavy, tired sounding breathing, before Lauren finishes the song by just speaking the final line, then blowing a kiss and laughing.

Forgive Me! For dragging you down//
I longed for freedom from myself//
And you were all that I had left//
Maybe I shouldn’t ask you to change//
When I was going to…get up and walk out today//
Well now, your parents say of me, only one thing//
No, The Wicked Will Never Change//
(Chorus)
Only I’ll Sleep Tonight, My Long Lost Love//
Don’t Think About Me//
Eternal Insomnia, I’ve Done Enough//
Don't You Know You’re Better Off Without Me?//
I Dragged You Down, I Tore It Out//
But Now I’ll Set You Free//
Haha, Honey It's Not A Gift To You//
You Know I Do It All For Me//
And maybe one day I’ll change, apologising for my actions//
Please see that you can be, so much more without me//
