Calibre ft. Chimpo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
fill sonic malatovs chill
ill sound kill off the copper tops
eyes grillin
not gorillas in the mist
drum coppin a karate suit
chillin in the bits
And this one's bad for ya posture
it'll cost ya
'cause every time ya bus it in a rave
you got half of the capacity
puttin' in a claim
High calibre face cold damaja
take over everythin
smile for the camera
street face rambler
in the rave, stumblin'
eyes dialate from you hear
the base rumblin'
bleep child sleep deprivate
meditate
hallucinate
chill, go bed and recooperate
And who knows when the party ends??
Cause just when you thinks it's all DONE.
We start again...
Let the subs talk first...
34 hertz with girls in short skirtz
guys in the back
with their eyes in their caps
all high as a kite
with their minds in the trap cause,
this one's not for a
fussy old man
a beat
dub-suit
two tape decks and a casio
but since one to cop bed sheets
ten years ahead while's ya
thinkin about your next tweet.
We're so dub-plate exclusive
You can't bring those out
in a hallogram like Snoopface.
Get stupid,
get dumb,
get braindead—
step up in a clash
and get the walls stained red.
Sound killin' out here
no chillin' cause ya dealin' w/a
villin' out 'ere
write off a soundboy when dem pack up
And just when you think its all DONE...
We start again.
The lyrics to Calibre ft. Chimpo's song Start Again revolve around the party culture of electronic dance music. The song opens with the imagery of bottle tops on sonic malatovs, creating a raucous and explosive party atmosphere. The lyrics then describe the experience of being at a rave, with the music's high-caliber sounds forcing the audience to lose control and move in crazed ways. The song's narrator acknowledges the consequences of such an experience on the body, advising listeners to meditate and recover after such a mind-numbing party.
Throughout the song, there are references to dub-plates, exclusive tracks made for DJs to play in their sets. These exclusive tracks also speak to the exclusivity of access and the in-group culture of rave parties. The lyrics' mention of a clash is a reference to sound systems battling each other, another feature of rave parties that harkens back to reggae and dub culture.
Overall, the song combines a pulsing beat with quirky rhymes to create an ode to electronic dance music culture. It showcases the appeal of rave music while also acknowledging its dangers and consequences.
