You've applied the pressure To have me crystalised And you've got the faith That I could bring paradise I'll forgive and forget Before I'm paralysed Do I have to keep up the pace To keep you satisfied? Things have gotten closer to the sun And I've done things in small doses So don't think that I'm pushing you away When you're the one that I've kept closest You don't move slow And taking steps in my direction The sound resounds, echo Does it lessen your affection? No You say I'm foolish For pushing this aside But burn down our home I won't leave alive Glaciers melt into the sea I wish the tide would take me over I've been down on my knees And you just keep on getting closer Glaciers melted to the sea (things have gotten closer to the sun) I wish the tide would take me over (and I've done things in small doses) I've been down on my knees (so don't think that I'm pushing you away) And you just keep on getting closer (when you're the one that I've kept closest) Go slow Go slow Go slow Go slow Go slow

"Crystalised" foi lançado em 27 de abril de 2009 como o primeiro single do álbum homônimo do The xx.
O tema da música surgiu quando Romy e Oliver, ambos com 17 anos, escreveram as letras separadamente e as enviaram por e-mail para trocar ideias.
O refrão foi construído no quarto do pai de Romy, onde os dois músicos se reuniram para montar o esqueleto básico da canção.
A metáfora da cristalização foi inspirada por uma conversa de Oliver com a mãe, que lhe contou sobre a prática de cristalizar cinzas depois da morte.
O título “Crystalised” reflete a ideia de que os versos entrelaçam-se como cristais, com as vozes de Romy e Oliver se cruzando e se sobrepondo ao longo da faixa.
