Slipstream
Jason Lytle The Crystal Method Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well we heard you got caught in the slipstream
Then you found your way back to the bad dream
Well it's a good thing you are still breathing
Well I'd say it's time to be leaving

Someone
Come here
Come

Well we heard you got lost in the back scene
But we all know nothing's as it seems
Yeah we heard you got caught in the slipstream
And it's the last time you were seen

Someone
Come here
Come

It's a good day to fly today
There's a halo above your head
It's a good day to fly today
There's a halo above your head

It's a good day to fly today
There's a halo above your head
Yeah it's a good day to fade away
Oh yeah oh yeah yeah

Here comes

Someone
Come here
Come

Cause I don't want to know
And now we'll never know
Oh where, oh where to AirCon go

Someone




Come here
Come

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Slipstream" by Jason Lytle The Crystal Method speak to the feeling of being caught in a cycle of despair and bad habits, and the desire to escape it. The singer of the song appears to be someone who has struggled with addiction or other destructive behaviors, and has found themselves caught in a "slipstream" of negative energy that they can't escape from. However, there is hope in the lyrics as well - the chorus speaks to the idea that it's a good day to "fly", to rise above one's problems and find a new perspective.


The lyrics are somewhat cryptic, but there are a few possible interpretations. The line "we all know nothing's as it seems" suggests that perhaps the singer has been judged unfairly or misunderstood, and that their situation is more complicated than it appears on the surface. The line "oh where, oh where to AirCon go" is also intriguing - it may refer to a specific person or place that the singer is looking for or trying to escape from.


Overall, the song is an exploration of the human experience of being trapped in negative patterns, but also the possibility of finding a way out and "flying" to a better place.

This song was basically my soundtrack to 2009. I'd fallen off the wagen with booze after a few years off and was drunk all the time. I actually rode my CBR125 from Edmonton on QEII to see the Crystal Method in Calgary. The bike would do about 105 in a full tuck on my own but all the truck traffic does about 112. I had to get into the slipstream of some rig truck with a doghouse to keep up. This song will always remind me of being in the slipstream of that truck for 3 hours in a full tuck

@540killer

"its a good day to fly today" bruh I wish he said "its a good day to fly away". the current way is too redundant :I

@HolySwordofLight

when did this song come out? i am curious because i recognized the picture on that suitcase as the album cover to one of their recently released albums and wonder if the group recycled the image, or i the video was edited to look like it was from the 70's.
