I don′t know, like, I wouldn't all the time but like
Like to be completely at ease... you know?
Like nothing else matters, it′s just like... it's just fun!
I don't really do it to
Like
Be with people
You know what I mean?
Why?
I do it for my own

Personal like
Wacky shit

I think I′m rolling up one today
I got enough for two, babe
We′re on a carmelyzed crusade
'Cause there′s nothing else to do here
My homies watering the flowers
They've been doing it for hours
I bet the plants are slowly drowning
I think I′m rolling up one today

You've been a bit down while we′re stuck in isolation
Your heart jumped off, probably thought you could save it
Inhalation into dream until this shit is over
Take the world off your shoulders, it feels so good
To let yourself float into blissful elevation
Release your inner angel
Like a vagabond without a bond
Floating through Elysium

I think I'm rolling up one today
I got enough for two, babe
We're on a carmelyzed crusade
′Cause there′s nothing else to do here
My homies watering the flowers
They've been doing it for hours
I bet the plants are slowly drowning

The cactus needs a suntan
The neighbor′s cats are drinking from an ashtray
I tried to tell them that's not okay
But then they snuck in through the back door

I think I′m rolling up one today
I got enough for two days
We're on a carmelized crusade
I think I′m rolling up one today

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Apricot Ink's song "Carmelyzed Crusade" describe the experience of being high on marijuana and the feeling of being completely at ease. The singer explains that they don't smoke weed to socialize or be with others, but rather for their own personal enjoyment of the "wacky shit." The singer describes the act of smoking weed as a "carmelyzed crusade" and muses about the activities of their friends who are watering plants, which may or may not be drowning.

The second verse of the song shifts to a more introspective and sentimental tone. The singer addresses a friend who is feeling down during isolation and encourages them to "take the world off [their] shoulders" and "release [their] inner angel." The singer suggests that smoking weed can be both an escape and a tool for self-discovery, allowing one to float into a state of "blissful elevation" and explore the abstract realm of "Elysium." The final verse of the song introduces some surreal and humorous imagery, such as a cactus needing a suntan and cats drinking from an ashtray.

Overall, "Carmelyzed Crusade" portrays marijuana as a source of personal enjoyment and escape, while also acknowledging its potential for introspection and self-discovery.
