The Crystal Method Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey man, are you out there?
Hey man, are you out there?
Hey man, are you out there?
So, How's ya doin
Wooo
Hey man, are you out there?
Hey man, are you out there?
The lyrics of The Crystal Method's song Bad Stone are mainly composed of three repeated phrases - Hey man, what do we got, Hey man, are you out there?, and So, How's ya doin. These lyrics may depict the feeling of loneliness and a desperate need for a connection with someone. The repeated phrase of "Hey man, are you out there?" suggests that the singer is searching for someone to talk to and inquiring if anyone is listening to their cries.
The lines "So, How's ya doin" could be interpreted as an attempt to initiate a conversation or perhaps an expression of concern for the other person's well-being. In essence, the lyrics of Bad Stone seem to convey the message of feeling disconnected and seeking a human connection.
