In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Listen all you motherfuckers!
Listen all you motherfuckers!
That's the name of the game.
That's the name of the game.
That's the name of the game.
That's the name of the game.
Yo!
Top of the crown,
Rape the queen,
The fatal mistake in your cradle,
Can't shake the dreams of fire inside of your phonograph,
Battered with gas,
And give you room to breathe,
Through an adequate mask
Everybody in front,
Let me see ya pumpin' ya fists,
If you up in the back room,
When you rockin' with this.
Come on,
Keepin' ya speaker knockin',
Jumpin', bangin', bumpin', blazin',
Hot
Callin' all freaks,
Callin' all freaks now.
Yo, yo
Callin' all freaks,
Callin' all freaks now.

Rape the queen,
The fatal mistake in your cradle,
Can't shake the dreams of fire inside of your phonograph,
Battered with gas,
And give you room to breathe,
Through an adequate mask
Everybody in front,
Let me see ya pumpin' ya fists,
If you up in the back room,
When you rockin' with this.
Come on,
Keepin' ya speaker knockin',
Jumpin', bangin', bumpin', blazin',

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song is soooo PIMP!!! Ithink everyone should listen to this song, but thatz jus' my opinion!

Me too!
haha wow the video blows my mind
Yea this song worked well in Blade 2 and it is a good song to listen to still. A good freak song ;).
They play this in the beginning of Splinter Cell HOORAH
I have been a Crystal Method fan since their demo CD Keep Hope Alive. When they released Vegas, I was thrilled. They pump out the best industrial euphoria I have ever listened to. Now they have their sophomore album Tweekend! THIS WHOLE CD IS SWEET! This song is really good to listen to especially when your cruising around. Crystal Method has come a long way since '96. Their mix CD Community Service could have definitely been better however. Can't wait til they release their next CD. BTW manyamore, you are correct. It is row.
Hey...hey...it doesn't get any better than Vegas. 'Nuff said. That album kick this album's ass. However, this album is pretty cool too.
I wonder what the meaning is? It's too obscured by all the drugs they take...
