“Crash Today” is the first song off of Eleven’s self-titled album, The music video for “Crash Today” seems to be mostly centered around vision.
A sparrow falling from the sky
Its wing is torn away by the wind
A misty shape is rising in the dunes
My life is etched into the sand
A door has opened out of my world
Shedding my skin I step inside
The light is deeper than the ocean
Through the sound my eyes begin to smile
One breath away and my plane is on fire, fire
I crash today and my spirit is higher, higher, yeah
I see the view from every angle
A million faces turn into one
A web attaching every living thing
A tunnel leading me to the sun
But something pulls me back to my house
I want to stay but fate denies
My body's closing in around me
Through the sound my eyes begin to cry
One breath away and my plane is on fire, fire
I crash today and my spirit is higher, higher, yeah
But something pulls me back to my house
I want to stay but fate denies
My body's closing in around me
Through the sound my eyes begin to cry
One breath away and my plane is on fire, fire
I crash today and my spirit is higher, higher
One breath away (One breath away)
And my plane is on fire, (plane is on fire) fire
I crash today (I crash today)
And my spirit is higher, (spirit is higher) higher, yeah
