Dave Matthews Band: Crash Into Me Meaning

Song Released: 1996

Crash Into Me Lyrics

You’ve got your ball
You’ve got your chain
Tied to me tight tie me up again
Who’s got their claws
In you my friend
Into your heart I’ll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
And sweet you roll
Lost for you I’m so lost for...

   DOES NOBODY HERE UNDERSTAND SYMBOLISM?
   When he says he watches her through the window that is NOT him being perverted and creepy.
   THE WINDOW symbolizes something he can see but can't get to. He can picture the girl naked but has no chance with her; the song is about him fantasizing.....

   Only an artist like Dave Matthews can make such a perverted song soung so beautiful. It is all about some kind of sexually fantasy. "i'm the king of the castle...you're the dirty rascal.."

   He tries to break the bond with this girl for whatever reason but he's sooooooo drawn to her physically he can't let go even if he tries. It's about the struggle between his body and his mind. He knows he should let go but can't. Physically addicted!

   This song is absolutely about a wet dream.
   
   "in a boy's dream"
   "crash into me"
   "as I come into you"
   "show your world to me"
   
   It's all about sexual desire.

   I have heard from a true die hard fan of DMB that the lyrics to this song actually are pieces of some letters a crazed stalker wrote to Dave. After showing the letters to his band mates, they told him he should put it to some new music they had written.

   According to Vh1 Storytellers , Dave says "this song is about the worship of women but this is a little bit of a crazy man's song about some guy peering into his neighbors window watching a young girl while she's on the phone saying somebody better get down here "he doesn't have a shirt" on lol

   I agree with DarkNick. even though that is not the meaning of the song at all, it cracked me up reading it.

   You're all wrong. This song is obviously about a soccer game he attended with his father when he was young and the trauma that followed after he saw a hard foul.

    This is just how brilliant Dave is...to be able to take a wet dream and make it poetic lol. It cracks me up everytime my work has it playing over the loud speakers.

    The wet dream thing makes a lot of sense,but its important to link the music with the lyrics , which makes me doubt the wet dream thing and think its all about the obvious !!!

    True love actually, no one is more beautiful to him than this girl which he talks about in the song...It is about sex too..."you come crash into me, and I come into you,i come into you, in a boys dream", its always on his mind being close to this girl in both a loving and sexual way

    hmm... I always Thought it was just him wishing a certain girl would come into his life, not so much as it was sexual.

    This song is totally about a wet dream!! Dave almost says it in the first chorus of the song...first he talks about the girl and how she's got him wrapped around her finger (you've got your ball you've got your chain tied to me tight tie me up again.) Then he talks about "a boys dream". He is watching her through his window hopeing she'll undress (hike up your skirt a little more and show your world to me). Then he goes to sleep...and dreams.
