DJO - THE CRUX ALBÜM ŞARKI SÖZLERİ

Djo - Album Lyrics: "The Crux" (2025)

Lonesome Is A State Of Mind

Is it all the same
That I'm not giving up?
Tale as old as time
You're not quick enough

I've seen this movie before
I think I've heard this song
Your future's right out the door
Couldn't get it wrong

And now I drive a truck
And it drives pretty well
My dog is at my house again
But I live somewhere else

I swear I've had this dinner before
I know I've heard that song
My future's not what I thought
I think I thought it wrong

It's one on one
Two for life
Thought that you were on my side
Lonesome is a state of mind

I couldn't change it
So don't ask me anymore
I'm one
Two for life
Thought that you were on my side
Lonesome is a state of mind

No, I won't be lonely anymore

But now I take the train
It's good enough for me
Time, it takes an edge
And grinds it clean
Turns a scar to a seam

I've shot this picture before
Tell me, what's that song?
It's killing me
My future's up in the air
Guess I'll play along

It's one on one
Two for life
Thought that you were on my side
Lonesome is a state of mind

Yeah, the future's over
Don't drag me anymore
I'm done
Two for life
Thought that you were on my side
Lonesome is a state of mind

No, you're not lonely
When you're hanging with yourself
I was one
Two was nice
Twenty-nine and misaligned
Twenty-nine and misaligned
But now I need to take my time
But now I need to take my time
I think I'll take it
Show that kid to the door

Lonesome is a state of mind
Yeah, the future's over
Don't drag me anymore
I'm done

Thought that you were on my side
Lonesome is a state of mind
No, you're not lonely
When you're hanging with yourself

Basic Being Basic

Get food, barely eat
Every bite just kept me glued to my seat
I worried, even cried
How'd it feel to take the light from my life?
Bad habit, even worse
Fifty-fifty, I'm a sucker for looks
Asked for it, here it is
A quick example 'cause you wanted the hits

I think you're scared of being basic
That's ironic 'cause it's reading like you're even more basic
It's not funny, it's so funny
'Cause you're basic
Just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated
Nothingness won't change it
(Good luck with that, good luck with what?)
It's not funny, but it's so funny

I don't want your money, I don't care for fame
I don't wanna live a life where that's my big exchange
I want simple pleasures, friends who have my back
Everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that
It sent me reeling, still not the same
It's like my capacity to love and give has changed
I guess I'll thank you and spite your name again
The past's the past, and I'll outlast the hate to find real love that's not pretend

How basic (Sell me on it)
Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, ditching chats in different apps
That's basic (Haha)
It's not funny, it's so funny
That's just basic being basic (Basically)
You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls
I guess I'll take it
Yeah, that's funny, you're so funny (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

Change your body, change your face, curl your hair then make it straight
Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste
Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley's back in Vogue
It's a flash photograph

What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
What an empty epitaph (That's just basic being basic)
Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is
If that's funny, I'm not funny

Link

I just graduated
Top of my class
Furthest from last
So why do I feel so bad?
Why do I feel so bad?

I'm emancipated
Out on my own
Got it under control
So why do I feel so bad?
Why do I feel so bad?

You must do what's right
I always do what's right
Black and white
I think I see a different side
Tow the line

No, I said hey
A link's breaking outta the chain
Hey
A link's breaking outta the chain
I got a feeling that a break is gonna happen maybe right now
Right now
Come on
Go there
Surprise me
You little link in the chain

Punch in, punch out
Bad food still swallow
Same ripped old jeans
Blind leader, I'd follow
What does it say about me? What does it say about us?
I don't know

Cats cradle of a lifetime
Is it really like this
Am I just another gel man?
Don't listen to him, just listen to me
I think a link is b-b-b-b-breaking free

You must do what's right
I always do what's right
Black and white
I think I see a different side
Tow the line

I said hey
A link's breaking out of the chain
Hey
A link's breaking outta the chain
I got a feeling that a break is gonna happen maybe right now
Right now
I see you sitting like an arrow
You little break in the chain
You little break in the chain

Potion

When I wake up at three in the morning
Witching hour too strong
Like a witch I know, I need my potion
I, I, I might find love
I'm looking for it in an alphabet soup cup
I'm looking under my thumb (Under my thumb)
It's looking like a little rain cloud loves me
I, I, I

I'll try for all of my life
Just to find someone who leaves on the light for me
Leaves on the light for me (Oh, oh)

Mr. Magic and the trapdoor ladies big walk, no talk
Glitz and glamour doesn't age like wine does
I, I, I, I'm counting on love
When the book is in the final chapter
Man, it's always sad to go
Whatcha taking from the rightful lender?
I, I, I

I'll try for all of my life
Just to find someone who leaves on the light for me
Leaves on the light for me (Oh, oh)

I'll try for all of my life
Just to find someone who leaves on the light for me
Leaves on the light for me (Oh, oh)

Delete Ya

Red-eye, last minute flight
I get in early, I was roused by the light
Back in the city, no longer my home
Trying to let it go
I take a walk in Hollywood
My old apartment isn't looking too good
Then there's a lyric that, in context, stings
The immediate pain it brings
That song that you used to sing

And now I'm back on your couch, frozen peas to my head
Driving up to your folks, cramming into your bed
You picked me up every time, drove me back to our home
It doesn't leave you alone

Oh God, I wish I could delete ya
'Cause nothin' can compete with ya
I replenish and repeat ya
A heart excretes only one of us, only one

Blue and gold Friday night
Team up with Charlie, take these kids for a ride
Why's my heart pounding, beating out of my chest?
Remember to try and forget
I'm locked, she's the key
I'm a boat that's sinking, guess who's the sea
It's hard to shake it off and get back to me
When anything is a memory
And you repeat to the Nth degree

And now I'm back in my truck, I'm driving up to our place
We're sitting dead on the ground, there's nothing more to be said
You kept it tight to the chest at someone else's expense
That doesn't sound like real love

Oh God, I wish I could delete ya
'Cause nothin' can compete with ya
I replenish and repeat ya
I'd replenish and repeat ya

I wanna know (Just two weeks, how'd you cut it like that?)
Maybe you show me how (I'm built different, I don't work like that, huh)
I got to repeat, chew up, spit out
The blame complex in me, me, me

Oh God, I wish I could delete ya
'Cause nothin' can compete with ya
I'd replenish and repeat ya
One heart could beat for the two of us, two of us, two of us, oh-oh-oh
Oh, God, I wish I could release ya
Wind it back and never be with ya
Then I'd be happy just to meet ya (Oh my God)
One heart could bleed for the future us
If we were young, but this is done

Fly

I'm running through the snow again
When will spring come again?
I need the bloom

I followed every winding road
And the path it took me to
No, I don't look back in anger
Do you?

Falling back to her
Could be easy to do
But I must fly
Fly away from her

I'm packing up my things again
When will the movement end?
This chapter is through

I followed every winding road
And the path it took me to
No, I don't look back in anger
Do you?

Falling back to her
Sounds so easy to me
But I must fly
Fly away from her
But I must fly

Wind is at your back now
Carry me away now

Gap Tooth Smile

There she is, gap-tooth smile
God, how lucky can a simple man be?
One life living and a cat beguiled
I know that's my future looking right back at me
I see right through your skin

Yes, I know who you are
Frame up on my baby, she's my superstar
Big heart, all smile
Come on, pretty baby, let's last a while
Last a while with me

Oh, ooh, la, la, that's the spot
Anything's cool if it's done with heart
Makes me roly-poly with her dada smile
No, I didn't say a century, I just said a while
Oh, my God

Ha, ha, she's gone
That's my little missus, she's my number one
My heart in your dreams
Freddy said it right 'cause she's my killer queen
Freddy said it right 'cause she's my killer queen

And I tell her all the time
Yeah
I tell her all the time
How many times?
How many times?
One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty
Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four
Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight
Twenty-nine, twenty-nine, twenty-nine

It's not fair, it's love
God, I count my blessings from the one-eyed dove
It's her hair, her style
But I fell in love with her gap-tooth smile
But I fell in love with her gap-tooth smile
But I fell in love

Come and find me

Golden Line

Life can bring you down
The world can be so cruel
But I still trust in love
I find that trust in you

Maybe you can show me how
My intention was to make you proud
Yes, it's true
I do it all for you

You've got a golden line
I try to live up to
Time can give
Can give
And life can take
Can take away
But every day is better with you

How can I repay the due?
The way you know me, love me, pull me through
Yes, it's true
I do it all for you

All for you
All for you
For you

Time can give
Can give
And life can take
Take away
Each and every day

Yes, it's true
I do it all
For you

Back On You

Dry those eyes
Hanging on
Through the tears
Sing yourself a song
Come back home
Buddy, I remember who you are
Who you are

I've known my sisters for a lifetime
I count my lucky stars that I have them
'Cause every day they are a lifeline
An inspiration just to be a better man, that's the truth
I'd lay my life down on the line for you, that's the truth
Sisters made a better brother

When life's plan
Isn't shining through
You understand
You help me see it through
So you can count on me
I'm leaning back on you

Now when the rain started falling
I had to close my eyes to keep myself from washing away
But in the dark backseat I heard something
It was you telling me, "I got your back any day"
My friend, my man
He's unlike any other
I used to say I didn't have a brother
I guess I can't say it anymore

Things get hard
You don't know what to do
Well I've got friends
Who never spin the truth
And they can trust in me
I'm leaning back on you

Get knocked down
Down, down, down
You're nursing black and blues
Well, there's that smile
It's just a missing tooth
'Cause you believe in me
I'm leaning back on you

I'm leaning back on you
Leaning back on you

I'll be there
Leaning back on you
Anywhere
Leaning back on

Crux

There's a crux to everything
Not everybody's
Contemplating it
Only you unsatisfied
I wonder who is on this island with me

The connection is real
And I live for the rush
Let it out from inside me
Get it back to your heart

Get back to your heart
Only if you give it back again
Get back to your heart
Will you give it back?
You give it back

Something special's happening
You stop to think
It's all but over
Maybe head games aren't for free
And confidence
Ain't overbearing, no

Steady hand, not control
Let it be what it is
Let it out from inside you
Get it back to your heart

Get back to your heart
Only if you give it back again
Get back to your heart
But will you give it back?
Back, back, back

Get back to your heart
But only if you give it back again
Get back to your heart
Only if you give it back

Get back to your heart
Yeah, only if you give it back again
Get back to your heart
