And any thoughts of novelty value are quickly dispelled by the toasters’ mix of sureshot rapping and ethereal
chants, underpinned by the TCM’s trademark driving beats and scuzzed out bass, to create a winning combination, and an assured opening salvo in what will no doubt be another dynamic album campaign.
Drown in the Now
The Crystal Method Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh yea
Rock out! Rock when I rip it,
When I'm rollin' on clouds,
Shout loud, breathe in,
Won't you drown in the now?
When I'm rollin' on clouds,
Shout loud, breathe in,
Won't you drown in the now?
Rock when I rip it,
When I'm rollin' on clouds,
Shout loud, breathe in,
Won't you drown in the now?
Said I rock when I rip it
When I'm rollin' on clouds,
Shout loud, breathe in,
Won't you drown in the now?
Starship ripping through the night
Tripping through your sights
Pop up and shadow when I pine through the blind
Seen shades of rays as they move through the space
We lace, we up concrete streets
Streaks tall paintbrush strokes
Oh so gloriously
Story unfolds which one will be told
Some get sold, some just fold
Multi beings releasing parallel songs
Swells to break all the dry spells
Late bells ring crack shells (When they got us)
Righteousness love of life will prevail
Righteousness love of life will prevail
Righteousness love of life will prevail
Take the message that you send with these vibrations
From the hearts of the young consolidations
Some of the hearts gone numb
Improve the situation
With the vision of the king
I rely on mountains
With Assad and mic in my hand
I stand for the scene of sand
Mountains climb around them
Oh oh, eh eh eh eh oh oh, eh eh eh eh eh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, eh eh eh eh oh oh, eh eh eh eh eh oh oh oh oh
Rock when I rip it
When I'm rollin' on clouds,
Shout loud, breathe in,
Won't you drown in the now?
Move like the misses to kiss this style
When ya dance in the darkness the quiet shout
Rock when I rip it
When I'm rollin' on clouds,
Shout loud, breathe in,
Won't you drown in the now?
On the end, on the back, flip crystal tracks
Method relax fast forward play back
Electrofied
Elecro night
Eclectic undefined in the moonlight
Shine bright how you'd like
Broken faces empty spaces make okay
Let my mind open up to the skies and pray
Raindrops like spots windshield spray
Don't stop, don't yield knots in the stomach
Not one, when you drop in the storm
Rock out! Rock when I rip it
When I'm rollin' on clouds,
Shout loud, breathe in,
Won't you drown in the now?
Who is the eye between lies
I lie and just try to make it through the night and sigh
Rock when I rip it
When I'm rollin' on clouds,
Shout loud, breathe in,
Won't you drown in the now?
Conquest blessed like don't burn a nest
Drugged outta style from the old dragnet
Rock out! Rock when I rip it
When I'm rollin' on clouds,
Shout loud, breathe in,
Won't you drown in the now?
Everyone gets stung one runs
One air with precision drum
That they overridden
Rock when I rip it
When I'm rollin' on clouds,
Shout loud, breathe in,
Won't you drown in the now?
When I rip it
When I'm rollin' on clouds
Shout loud breathe in
When you drown in the now
Oh oh, eh eh eh eh oh oh, eh eh eh eh eh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, eh eh eh eh oh oh, eh eh eh eh eh oh oh oh oh
Said I rock when I rip it,
When I'm rollin' on clouds,
Shout loud, breathe in,
Won't you drown in the now?
Move like the misses to kiss this style
When ya dancing in the darkness, it's the quiet shout
On the end, hold back flip crystal tracks
The method relax the fast forward playback

Oh yea
Just an exclamation
Rock out! Rock when I rip it,
Let's rock out, let's rock when I kill the performance
When I'm rollin' on clouds,
When I'm feeling on top of the world
Shout loud, breathe in,
Shout as loud as you can and breathe in the energy around you
Won't you drown in the now?
Why not embrace the present moment to the fullest?
Back when I rip it,
Let's kill it like we used to
Starship ripping through the night
This line doesn't seem to have a meaningful explanation as the metaphor is not clear
Tripping through your sights
Moving through your vision
Pop up and shadow when I pine through the blind
It is unclear what this line is supposed to mean
Seen shades of rays as they move through the space
Seeing different facets of light as they move through the expanse
We lace, we up concrete streets
We are taking on the hard challenges of life and making the most of our environments
Streaks tall paintbrush strokes
Creating lasting works of art that capture the beauty of life
Oh so gloriously
In a way that is extraordinarily magnificent
Story unfolds which one will be told
The story of our lives is happening now and it is up to us to choose what to do with our lives
Some get sold, some just fold
Some make the most of life while others give up on their dreams
Multi beings releasing parallel songs
Different people and beings have different songs to sing in this life
Swells to break all the dry spells
The energy and beauty of life can break through even the toughest times
Late bells ring crack shells (When they got us)
It's not clear what this line is talking about
Righteousness love of life will prevail
An optimistic message of hope that love and goodness will win out in the end
Take the message that you send with these vibrations
Let the message of your actions and energy be positive and uplifting
From the hearts of the young consolidations
The feelings and thoughts of the younger generation are important
Some of the hearts gone numb
Some people have lost their passion and drive for life
Improve the situation
Let's work together to make the world a better place
With the vision of the king
With leadership and guidance from those who can inspire and motivate us
I rely on mountains
Drawing strength and inspiration from the natural world around us
With Assad and mic in my hand
With confidence and strength, ready to perform and inspire others
I stand for the scene of sand
I am here to represent and celebrate the beauty of life
Mountains climb around them
The majesty and beauty of mountains can inspire us to achieve even greater things
Move like the misses to kiss this style
Move to the rhythm and enjoy this style of music
When ya dance in the darkness the quiet shout
Even in the darkness, we can take time to appreciate the beauty and power of life
On the end, on the back, flip crystal tracks
Playing music and creating art in unconventional ways
Method relax fast forward play back
Pushing the boundaries of creativity and technological innovation
Electrofied
Electric and empowered
Elecro night
A night full of electric, high-energy experiences
Eclectic undefined in the moonlight
Exploring new, eclectic, and undefined types of music under the moonlight
Shine bright how you'd like
Let your inner light shine in any way you desire
Broken faces empty spaces make okay
Even though life can be tough, we can find peace and happiness in the emptiness and brokenness
Let my mind open up to the skies and pray
Find solace and hope in contemplative prayer and meditation
Raindrops like spots windshield spray
The beauty of rainfall can be both breathtaking and fleeting, like fleeting droplets spattering across a windshield
Don't stop, don't yield knots in the stomach
Even when things get tough, keep going and don't give up
Not one, when you drop in the storm
Keep pushing through even the hardest of times
Who is the eye between lies
Unclear what this line means
I lie and just try to make it through the night and sigh
Sometimes life is tough, and we can only try our best to get through each day
Conquest blessed like don't burn a nest
Find success in a way that doesn't cause harm and destruction to others
Drugged outta style from the old dragnet
It is unclear what this line means
Everyone gets stung one runs
We all have to deal with pain in our lives
One air with precision drum
The precision of life is like a drum that keeps us moving forward
That they overridden
Unclear what this line means
