“Crystalline Green” is about smoking weed (marijuana) on the beach while the sun is setting. It’s an electronic slow-burner (pun intended) with a chorus consisting of a multi layered vocal melody.
[Verse 1]
Here we come, driving down
Deep and wide, settle down
On the beach, get the sun
Coming down, wet and warm
[Verse 2]
Turn it down, settle down
On the beach, get the sun
On the down, jealous day
You can lounge, turn it down
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna waste it playing
Spend all our day in a dream
Crystalline green, watch it rolling
Feeling the weight of the sun
[Non-Lyrical Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Here we come, driving down
Deep and wild, blue and green
Breathing in, come alive
Here we come, all the stars
[Pre-Chorus]
Let it slip through my fingers
Little rings float in your eyes
Try to forget who you are now
Stare into space, watch the sky
[Non-Lyrical Chorus]
[Non-Lyrical Outro]
