Trouble In 421 Lyrics
the evening began as a positive swaret
and my abode was 4 2 0 g
but little did i know that in the very next apartment
there'd be trouble on the brew for me
ubiquitous i wish i could be
because the clock cuts short my own day
one hundred things to do before i rest my sore ass
upon the cushion that supports my array
can this be
trouble
so if i may slip you a tip
you'd best stay away from 4 2 1
trouble
so get high the green way
so get by the green way yes
i knocked upon their door
in hopes of bidding them their welcome
and instead i was caught by an eye
his pupil was wide open
kinda like a liquor barn at 3 00
it was indoubadoubly dose derived
it was then that they took me
and shined their light between my eyes
he said what are ya new
why are you here what's the catch
why not explain in clear why you're peakin around
i wish i could've just kept to my own
my hospitality has been too well spent and i've paid my rent
i should've kept my thoughts on who might've been inside
so that my mind could sit and delude my pride
i beg my common sense to keep my
neighbor out away from my front door
until i find a way
to hide myself from those in 4 2 1 one
one away from the good one
and my abode was 4 2 0 g
but little did i know that in the very next apartment
there'd be trouble on the brew for me
ubiquitous i wish i could be
because the clock cuts short my own day
one hundred things to do before i rest my sore ass
upon the cushion that supports my array
can this be
trouble
so if i may slip you a tip
you'd best stay away from 4 2 1
trouble
so get high the green way
so get by the green way yes
i knocked upon their door
in hopes of bidding them their welcome
and instead i was caught by an eye
his pupil was wide open
kinda like a liquor barn at 3 00
it was indoubadoubly dose derived
it was then that they took me
and shined their light between my eyes
he said what are ya new
why are you here what's the catch
why not explain in clear why you're peakin around
i wish i could've just kept to my own
my hospitality has been too well spent and i've paid my rent
i should've kept my thoughts on who might've been inside
so that my mind could sit and delude my pride
i beg my common sense to keep my
neighbor out away from my front door
until i find a way
to hide myself from those in 4 2 1 one
one away from the good one

what you all say makes lots of sence. i alway thought it was him trying harder drugs then smoking weed. getting high of of 4:21 rather the 4:20. "so get high the green way" is saying just smoke the ganja. dont do crack, its bad for you!
[Hilikus421]
I actually agree with spazmeat's first impression of this song. With the line that says "his pupil was wide open" it gives me the impression that harder drugs, in this case acid, just weren't for him. It's an easy step to see how 421 means the the next step after 420, or how acid or another "hard" drug is the next step after weed.
420 is like the Christmas for pot smoking - 20th April. Going to 421 is only a metaphor - not actually an apartment number. Is it about trying a harder drug? By the end of the song, he want's nothing more to do with it, and is happy with just pot.
If 421 is indeed about Brandon not liking harder drugs, it's safe to say he changed his mind before Nebula was written...
great song...obviously about smoking pot
great song...obviously about smoking pot
shit, son, i wished i lived in 4 2 0 G.
It's probably about how his old neighbours were law abiding citizens and were against Brandon smoking weed. So he had to keep his weed smoking a secret from those in apartment 421. lol
just realized...its about him moving into a new apartment and him talking to his new neighbors in apartment 421 and they became nosey after him talking with him so now he has to hide his smoking of pot...its about him wishing he never tried to know his neighbors
this song shows brandon boyds aptitude for writing good lyrics at an early age.(he uses many big words)
