“Crisis” is the seventh track from UK producer Jam City’s second studio album Dream a Garden, a concept album that engages with the pervasive effects of neoliberalism on the UK milieu. It is an atmospheric, slow-burning dream pop and alternative R&B song with reverb-laden electronic production.
[Intro]
Hold, hold
Your best friend
She is low, low
Hold, hold
Your best friend
He's low
He's low
[Verse 1]
You sigh under a bright pink sky
Spit at another Foxtons sign
He imagined a lot
Just to rest your eyes
[Verse 2]
And do you remember?
The burnt out shell of a car?
The black batons under the stars?
Your friends said we'd gone too far
But I'll try not to be
[Chorus]
Waiting for your call
Trying's all he knows
Try not to be waiting for your call
The echo from the front
Keeps me holding on
[Verse 3]
You're my girl, some would call you a vandal
But sadness ain't enough for you
You said "we don't have to live like this"
Then you drew me close for a kiss
[Verse 4]
Things were looking bad today
I didn't know what to say
And the sirens weren't far away
But I never ever felt this way
[Instrumental]
