Tropane is the first Cross Orchid single to ever be released, and the last track to complete for the EP. It has a blistering blend of noise rock and synth punk.
The song is written in the perspective of someone strung out; tackles general misconceptions on drug abuse and its contradictions.
lyrics
Have you ever thought about not thinking about overthinking anything and everything all at once, overloaded by the constant dread of our existence?
Stuck in a lineup for your daily takeout drinking your bitter cocktail and spout about how substances got our society eroded while you cluelessly vex with consistence.
How vexing is your coexistence.
But I believe we’re all going to be okay drinking all of our problems away
Because see it makes us feel relaxed when our substances are all taxed.
But I believe we’re all going to be okay drinking all of our problems away
Because see it makes us feel relaxed when our substances are all taxed.
Have you wondered how a millionaire would attain feeling like a millionaire again?
Imagine your whole life sugar coated; some people use it to beat their condition.
I use it to hold myself back a little bit, now I can kick you on the fucking dick so hard it tears my tendon you bloated foot fetish fuck, so keep a distance. Keep a fucking distance buddy.
Hey, what’s that look for buddy? I look at you, you look at me, we’re on the same floor. Under full form.
It’s getting heavy, getting heavier, it’s getting heavy, getting heavy, getting heavy, down into my core. Release the storm.
Hey what’s that look for?! I look at you, you look at me,
We’re on the dance floor. Under full form. Full form.
It’s getting heavy, getting heavier, it’s getting heavy, getting heavy, getting heavy.
My jaw’s getting sore. Release the storm. Release the storm!
Hey what’s that look for?! I look at you, you look at me,
We’re on the dance floor. Under full form. Full form.
It’s getting heavy, getting heavier, it’s getting heavy, getting heavy, getting heavy
Hey what’s that look for?! Release the storm. Release the storm!
It’s getting heavy, getting heavier, it’s getting heavy, getting heavy, getting heavy.
Let me kick you for the score! Release the storm! Release the storm!
