Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Crazy Now” by Ryan Adams
Crazy Now is a song about a romantic relationship that has gone off the rails. The narrator is recounting memories of how things once were, and how everything has changed after they made some bad decisions. He is trying to make sense of how things have become so different and confusing, yet he feels like these changes have been inevitable. The lyrics imply that the narrator still has feelings for the person he’s singing to, but that he realizes they’re not in the same place they once were. In the chorus he sings, “It’s crazy now, all these memories of when we were together”. He is reflecting on the memories of when they were happy, and he knows that the current state of their relationship is far from what it used to be.
