I Like Crime
Embracing Forbidden Desires: I Like Crime by Deap Vally and Jennie Vee
Lyrics
I think I like it
Expressing a fondness or preference for something
It's what I crave
Desire strongly
I need to feel it
Require the sensation or experience
It's not a game
Not to be taken lightly or treated as trivial
And I like it
Reiteration of liking or enjoying it
No one can know
A need for secrecy or confidentiality
I need to feel it
Emphasizing the necessity to experience it
Way down below
Deeply within oneself or in a hidden place
It's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
Repeatedly acknowledging that it's considered a wrongdoing, yet still enjoying it
It's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
-It's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
-But I like, but I like, but I like it
-If I lived in a different time
Contemplating how circumstances might affect acceptance of the liking
Maybe I wouldn't have to hide it
Speculation about hiding one's preferences due to societal norms or restrictions
If it's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
Reiteration that enjoying it is considered a wrongful act
I'd rather lose my head than my mind
Prefer losing oneself rather than conforming to societal norms
I need to breathe it
A strong desire or necessity to experience it
I can't unknow
Unable to unlearn or ignore the sensation or experience
How it feels when
Referencing the feeling when someone else experiences it
She's down below
Desiring the involvement or presence of others in the experience
Want them to hear us
Expressing a longing to vocalize or make known the sensation or feeling
Wish I could scream
-I can't stay quiet
-Know what I mean
-It's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
Repeatedly acknowledging the wrongful nature of the liking while still enjoying it and emphasizing a preference for personal authenticity over societal acceptance
It's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
-It's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
-But I like, but I like, but I like it
-If I lived in a different time
-Maybe I wouldn't have to hide it
-If it's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
-I'd rather lose my head than my mind
-(Don't you ever, don't you ever forget it)
Reiterating the conflicting nature of the liking, yet asserting a preference for individual authenticity over societal norms
(Don't you ever, don't you ever forget it)
-(Don't you ever, don't you ever forget it)
-(Don't you ever, don't you ever forget it)
-It's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
-It's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
-It's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
-But I like, but I like, but I like it
-If I lived in a different time
-Maybe I wouldn't have to hide it
-If it's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
-I'd rather lose my head than my mind
-(Don't you ever, don't you ever forget it)
Emphasizing the importance of not forgetting the conflicting nature of the liking
(Don't you ever, don't you ever forget it)
-(Don't you ever, don't you ever forget it)
-(Don't you ever, don't you ever forget it)
-I will never, I will never quit it
Determination to persist in enjoying it, asserting that it isn't inherently wrongful
It's not a crime, it's not a crime
Asserting that it's not inherently wrong, urging not to forget this fact
I will never, I will never quit it
-It's not a crime, don't you ever forget it
