Born Too Slow
The Crystal Method Ft. John Garcia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
He's waiting on last calls
Well listen to Method Man
'Cause if you leave him the last line
Don't leave him the brown kind
Born just a little too slow
Just a little too slow
Oh your lights are burning too
Just a little too
Oh just a little too
'Cause if he picks up the wrong kind
You'll know you'll be turning blind
Gun at your head
Lay him down just the wrong way
You know that he's turning gray
Born just a little too slow
Oh your lights are burning too,
Burning too, burning too slow.
Oh your lights are burning too, just a little too.
Just a little too
Your lights are burning too
Just a little too
Oh your lights are burning too
Just a little to slow
'Cause if you leave him the last line
Don't leave him the brown kind
Well listen to Method Man
So if you're leavin' him callin'
You know you'll be fallin'
Lights are burning low
Your stars are burnin' gold
Lights are burning low.
Your stars are burnin' gold
Born just a little too
The lyrics to The Crystal Method's song Born Too Slow paint a vivid picture of a drug user who is on the brink of losing control. The verses describe someone who is waiting until the very last call to get their fix, and who is so desperate to stay high that they can't even be trusted to choose the right kind of drug. The use of the phrase "Born just a little too slow" suggests that this person is not able to keep up with the fast-paced world around them, and that their addiction has caused them to fall behind.
The chorus features the repetitive phrase "Oh your lights are burning too, just a little too," which seems to suggest that the person's body and mind are slowly burning out due to their drug use. The reference to "stars burning gold" in the final lines of the song suggests that this person may have been a bright, shining star at one point, but their addiction has led them down a dark path.
Overall, the lyrics to Born Too Slow serve as a cautionary tale about drug addiction and the dangers of becoming too dependent on substances. The Crystal Method use their unique blend of electronic and rock music to create a pulsing, urgent beat that helps to underscore the urgency of these lyrics.

Just like seventies goofballs
He's waiting on last calls
Well listen to method man
'Cause if you leave on the last line
Don't leave on the ground kind
Born just a little too slow
Just a little too slow
Just a little too
Oh, your lives are more than two
Just a little too
Oh, just a little too
'Cause if ya picture the wrong kind
You'll know you'll be turnin' blind
Got outta your head
Bangin' tail just the wrong way
You'll know that a turnin' grey
I'm just a little too slow
Oh, your lives are more than two, more than two, more than two
Slow
Oh, your lives are more than two
Just a little too
Just a little too
Your lives are more than two
Just a little too
Oh, your life's a born in two
Just a little too slow
'Cause if you leave on the last line
Don't leave on the ground kind
Well listen to method man
Cause if you leave him callin'
You'll know you'll be fallin'
Lights are bummin' low
Your shot off and bum and go
Lives are bummin' low
Your shot off and bum and go
Born just a little too

Well some of us had to work a few days a week in restaurants, hoping we could afford an underpowered civic with neons underneath it.

Or losing a race to this song...

Only to crash into a van and fly 20 km in the opposite direction and to find out that the only way to win is to restart....
