Alkaline Trio - Krystalline Lyrics






Never said what I was thinking the night you turned up at my door
I could tell that you'd been drinking, as we went crashing to the floor
You came from Santa Monica with teardrops in your eyes
We passed out in the shadows of a lonely Thursday night

We kissed away our memories and fucked away the pain
We went out for some coffee then we did it all again

My Krystalline
Ohhh, I want you Krystalline
Ohhh, I want you Krystalline

Couldn't tell what you were thinking the night I turned up at the bar
I told you I quit drinking and you laughed 'til you saw stars
I came to Santa Monica with flowers in my hand
I grabbed you by the lips with mine and slowly pulled you in

We kissed away our memories and fucked away the pain
You called in sick to work and then we did it all again

My Krystalline
Ohhh, I want you Krystalline
Ohhh, I want you Krystalline
Ohhh, I want you Krystalline
Ohhh, I want you Krystalline

Alkaline Trio Krystalline Comments
  1. B.... F....

    Krystalline is a Greek girls name literally meaning "ice".

    Ice is also a street name for the illicit drug Crystal Meth, which is the purest and most potent form of methamphetamine. It can be smoked using a glass pipe.

    The lyric in this song "I grabbed you by the lips with mine and slowly pulled you in..." makes me think that this song could be an ode to Crystal Meth. I'm not suggesting that Matt Skiba has ever used methamphetamine, but I think it's an interesting concept for a song.

  2. R.... ....

    i just wanna tell the universe that i have a Krystaline and i still miss her

  3. G.... D....

    No heart to speak of emotion

  4. U.... ....

    Wow..........

  5. S.... B....

    This album is great, but I love this song so damn much

  6. s.... ....

    can yall stop making great music?

  7. M.... B....

    i love this so much i cant

  8. K.... C....

    This song makes me long for a lover that doesn't exist. 💔

  9. M.... D....

    Not a great ending to the album which is a shame, I mean the songs alright but a bit cringey in parts

  10. N.... ....

    Jesus Matt, who hurt you?

  11. D.... T....

    Ommmooooo!!!!! I'm speechless!!!!!

  12. J.... P....

    Alkaline trio was one of my favorites growing up. But damn, everything sounds almost exactly the same in this one. Hooking up with Blink 182 seems to have watered down your creativity. This really makes me sad.

  13. e.... ....

    Okay someone explain to me why Skiba doesn't write songs like this for Blink??!

    e.... ....

    elijoker Probably because Mark and Feldmann have more control than he does

  14. S.... ....

    Deffs some Blink 182 influence . But i love it.

  15. J.... C....

    I love both blink and alkaline trio, but god damn this album blows blinks last one out of the water, wish they would let skiba let loose like this

  16. C.... H....

    Best song on the album!

  17. M.... G....

    Reminds me of Angel of Deaf

  18. C.... M....

    Never said what I was thinking
    the night you turned up at my door
    I could tell that you'd been drinking
    as we went crashing to the floor
    you came from Santa Monica
    with tear drops in your eyes
    we passed out in the shadows
    of a lonely Thursday night
    We kissed away our memories
    Fucked away the pain
    we went out for some coffee
    then we did it all again

    My Krystalline
    Oh I want you Krystalline (x2)

    Couldn't tell what you were thinking
    the night I turned up at the bar
    I told you I quit drinking
    and you laughed til you saw stars
    I came to Santa Monica
    with flowers in my hand
    I grabbed you by the lips with mine
    and slowly pulled you in
    we kissed away our memories
    and fucked away the pain
    you called in sick to work
    and then we did it all again

    My Krystalline
    Oh I want you Krystalline.....

  19. d.... ....

    LA AMEEEE

  20. 1.... ....

    I fucking love this song.

    The whole album is fire. My only criticism is there's not enough acoustic. Lol

  21. J.... P....

    matt has the best shouting voice, still got it on the Krstalline high parts

  22. J.... P....

    reminds me of Angel of Deaf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muXqo9GzPmA

  23. T.... S....

    Skiba's singing is better than ever, man!

  24. c.... p....

    Still hitting those high notes! Can you imagine being in that room when he was recording vox for this?!

  25. A.... R....

    Wow 😍 made my day

  26. j.... ....

    this is about chris delia

  27. N.... T....

    Very mentally)))

  28. K.... J....

    Why so short? 😂

  29. B.... C....

    Emma walked like an angel
    Emma fell like rain

    Wait... this is a different song? Oh...

    B.... C....

    Bryce Castle good mourning is my favorite album but this one is amazing too!!

    B.... C....

    lol the guitar on "I cant believe" reminds me of "time to waste"

  30. J.... 2....

    Krystaline sounds like a follow up to sorry about that

    J.... 2....

    yea exactly

  31. J.... L....

    What's being said in the end?

    J.... L....

    Sounds like derek or dan asking if they're done

    J.... L....

    Thanks, it sounded like a voicemail to me.

  32. V.... S....

    Thank you guys, this had an enourmous impact on my, I dream of coming to a show and moshing and singing as hard as I can to show how much I aprecciate you music.

  33. E.... G....

    Total BS.This band need to evolve and stop just putting out the same songs over and over to make their new fans happy.

    E.... G....

    js mn u suck

    E.... G....

    The fans are happy dipshit

    E.... G....

    Ain't broke, dont try and fix it.

    E.... G....

    Why are you here?

  34. D.... D....

    I laughed so hard when I realized this is Matt's love song to cocaine.
    He had to have been laughing so hard when he wrote this

    D.... D....

    cocaine comes in dried paste form, not crystal

  35. M.... M....

    The shame was true, and now it cursed for sure..

  36. P.... ....

    @2:20

    Did Matt forget to finish writing the song?

  37. C.... H....

    Pre ordered the album, for sure my favorite song

  38. m.... ....

    he sounds so hurt oh my god

  39. S.... H....

    Super song!!! sounds like Sekrets little bit... Skiba melodiks :D

  40. S.... N....

    Found my fave.

  41. M.... M....

    instantly fell in love with this.

  42. J.... O....

    My favorite on the new album, by far.

    Agreed with Katie above.... reminds me of Blue. You can hear Matt's "Sekrets" influence too.

    J.... O....

    Yup! totally has a Sekrets feel. Love it.

    J.... O....

    Sekrets, yeah, but too much studio work to sound anything like Blue in the Face, imo.

  43. M.... ....

    oooohhh I WANT NICOTINE

  44. c.... h....

    THIS ALBUM IS PURE PERFECTION

  45. E.... F....

    okay I just finished listening to the album and I loved it hehehe

  46. M.... ....

    I've heard it all before.
    Is this what he really experienced ?

  47. M.... ....

    🖤🖤🖤

  48. A.... I....

    Absolutely love this song! New album is ace

  49. J.... V....

    Good song. Reminds me of “The Cure: Cut here”. ✨

    J.... V....

    This i can hear way more than any of the other comparisons being made.

    J.... V....

    ALK3 has sing it..

  50. C.... ....

    😭😭❤️❤️❤️

  51. W.... A....

    That guitar is taking a beating during this song and it’s awesome. So raw.

  52. V.... L....

    great song to end the album, matts emotional and clever lyrics mixed with spooky-mysterious elements like the sound effects, quintessential to alkaline trio...thank you boys for the record

  53. J.... D....

    When I wash my hands:

    OHHHHH I WANT YOU CRYSTAL CLEAN!

    J.... D....

    I am dying over this comment hahahahha

    J.... D....

    OHHHH WHERES THE LISTERINE

    J.... D....

    Jason Dodd ded 😂

  54. B.... C....

    Reminds me of dead on the floor but this is a real love song 😍

  55. s.... m....

    You dont know how much so many of us needed this ♡

    s.... m....

    it was worth the wait....trio is back and they gave us a fucking great record. In a way, i feel both matt and dan brought in some elements from their side projects like sekrets and emergency room, but also they knew how to elaborate on the dark themes that we know trio for and all love and cherish.. the fact that this is a love song mixed with horror and mystery makes it the perfect, quintessential trio song

    s.... m....

    I agree and I love every moment of it

    s.... m....

    You are just so f*****ng right ;)

    s.... m....

    Could not care more for this song, so touching

    s.... m....

    Yaasss! I was worried after the last album and Matt being in blink now. But this album is fire on every track

  56. c.... ....

    Yes finaly

  57. B.... ....

    Glycerine

  58. l.... p....

    Same Melody as Emma

    l.... p....

    Matt jokes in public that he writes the same progressions in every single song.

  59. K.... G....

    God I love it. Reminds me of Blue in the Face from Good Mourning. So raw and so Trio. Welcome back boys!! ❤🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤

    K.... G....

    i definitely got blue in the face vibes when i first heard this. blue in the face is my fav trio song ever.

    K.... G....

    reminds me of the cure's "cut here" acoustic cover they did a while ago

  60. B.... W....

    This song is such a fucking gem. I LOVE IT

  61. U.... ....

    I love the ethereal background in the track.
    This album is gonna be awesome.

  62. N.... M....

    Can't fucking wait to get this album

  63. J.... F....

    Them chills...
