The lyrics of Tiësto's song "Maximal Crazy" are relatively uncomplicated, with most of the words in the song just saying "like this" or "like that." However, the lyrics are not intended to be the focus point of the song. Instead, Tiësto's minimalistic lyrics act as a small component of the dance track's vocal arsenal. In the song, the lyrics serve to emphasize the beat and to encourage listeners to dance. By repeating simple phrases like "like this" and "like that", Tiësto is effectively commanding his listeners to follow his beat and dance a specific way. Therefore, this song's focus is more on creating a high-energy atmosphere and encouraging movement through sound.
The lyrics in Tiësto's "Maximal Crazy" are not the main highlight of the song. Instead, the use of synth and drum beats are the main focus of the track in addition to the lyrics. The track's title and its lyrics suggest that its aim is to get people to dance at a higher energy level. The repetitive nature of the lyrics, combined with the hard-hitting bassline, makes it the kind of track that is well-suited for the dancefloor. Essentially, "Maximal Crazy" is a perfect club anthem.

His trance style made me a big fan of his. When he changed his style to electic house I didn't like it that much at first. But I gotta say now I'm hooked can't get enough of his new beats! This is probably the best track he's done so far. Sounds like fusion of trance and house. Awesome!!!
