Lost in the Crowd
Bassnectar & Jantsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And save a wish for once
For all of us
And should I offer up my hand
And lay the guilt on myself
So it's easier, to not stay, to not stay
Because I found you in your corner
You left in such a hurry
Your face is lost in the crowd
Should I open up my eye's or just ignore who you are
And what you could have been
And should I open up my eye's and make believe you will change
So it's easier to not stay, to not stay
Because I found you in your corner
I pulled you out of the clouds
You left in such a hurry
Your face is lost in the crowd
Because I found you in your corner
I pulled you out of the clouds
You left in such a hurry
Your face got lost in the crowd
Because I found you in your corner
I pulled you out of the clouds
You left in such a hurry
Your face is lost in the crowd
Your face is lost in the crowd
Your face is lost in the crowd
The lyrics to Bassnectar & Jantsen's song Lost in the Crowd suggest a contemplation over whether to offer a hand or not to someone who is lost, and save a wish for once for all of us. There seems to be a feeling of guilt looming over the singer, wondering if they should lay it on themselves to make it easier to not stay. The singer then reminisces about finding someone in their corner, pulling them out of the clouds, and who then left in a hurry. It is unclear who this person is or what their purpose in the singer’s life was meant to be. The singer also questions whether they should open their eyes or not to the truth of who this person really is and what they could have been. The final repetition of the chorus suggests a possible resolution; the person’s face is lost in the crowd, and the singer has done what they could to help this person but ultimately, they have moved on.
The song’s lyrics offer a lot of open-ended questions that can be interpreted in many ways. The idea of offering a hand and saving a wish could be seen as a metaphor for giving someone a chance and hoping for the best. The feeling of guilt that the singer mentions could be related to feeling responsible for another person’s happiness, and the idea that it’s easier to not stay could suggest the singer's realization that they can’t make someone stay if they don't want to. The repeated idea of the face being lost in the crowd could mean that the person has moved on and that the singer has done all they can do to help them.

*LYRICS*
Tried to create lyrics updated to rap genius.. Some is probably wrong but I tried ;)
Ey Ey Ey Minamo Tiamo Minamo
Zion and Minamo, Jabingy is the motto
The bass gon' fuck you up, you like it tough than arigato
Bu bu bouncin' always Indy, So bump me in your bizi
Bu bu bump me in your bizi, Do Your head start feeling dizzy?
The legs are feelin' jelly, we can't not be ready
The super duper trooper with bazooka bass so heavy
Ba ba bazooka bass so heavy
This chevy gon' dip, step into my mothership, take another trip
I'm feelin' lost in the crowd, and I don't wanna lose touch
Like it's about to go down down, well you can never get enough
Now everything's...
Poppin' bars, kitchen white, mix the lean with the sprite
Gettin' brain, different pipe, get the change
Now Everything's...
Poppin' bars, kitchen white, mix the lean with the sprite
Gettin' brain, different pipe, get the change
Raise your hand, touch the sun, megaton phenomenon
Here it come, drop the bomb, fire up another one
What it do, thought you knew, what the BOOMER do to you?
Crush the feelin' with my cool, meet me at the Okazoo
I'm sittin on the suburb, my bitch seeing double
I'm whippin' in my crack, Burning rubber in the gutter
I'm standing on the speakers, I'm bustin' on FO FO
I'm getting deeper, deeper, deeper ,deeper....
I'm feelin' lost in the crowd, and I don't wanna lose touch
Like it's about to go down down, well you can never get enough
Now everything's...
Poppin' bars, kitchen white, mix the lean with the sprite
Gettin' brain, different pipe, get the change
Now Everything's...
Poppin' bars, kitchen white, mix the lean with the sprite
Gettin' brain, different pipe, get the change
