Still coming back for that one line: "No your addiction is not a crime, it's just a smaller part of who, you want to become in the end." Freaking love Tristam's lyrics's and style :)
I seriously think it's important you all understand the meaning behind the song and the video. It's pure genius, and pours some much needed light on topics that don't get enough attention. Hats off to Tristam
What the song means (Not my explanation, but thought it needed to be shared) To me the song is about how everyone has urges or desires that they shouldn't act on because its frowned upon or just wrong, and he says "Just a little time" as in "you might grow out of it" Your addiction's not a crime" You can't help it. You cant choose not to desire something "It's just a smaller part of you" You can't let it define you (whatever it may be) Basically to me, the song is just about accepting the "bad" things about yourself and just carry on because no one is perfect
Everybody craves for a cigarette, as they are addicted to it. In this music video, it shows nice young people healthy, and talented. After the craving for the drug, people are just untalented tar in the end.
cameron calderon It's not just cigarette cravings, its all types of cravings, even ones that you may get looked down on or ones that are just wrong, its about telling you "don't worry", its not a crime, its just a cycle everyone goes through, you can be fixed.
Well, you do got people falling apart in what looks like black smog, cigarettes is a focus towards a lot of people. Although the black stuff could always mean something else... Like Ebola... Yeah defiantly wrong there, lool.
cameron calderon The black smog type stuff is the corruption spreading on there body, the things they are doing wrong, the cravings they have and want to do, makes more of the stuff, once they find out how to move on, run away from the addiction, which they do in the video, things will be a lot better, if you choose to carry on the addiction, it will consume you like it did at the end of this video :)
Lyrics: As he watches through the door His smile pulls in more and more Wicked thoughts shape wicked ways While we all crave, while we all crave When the man yells at his son When he finds the smoking gun Don't you worry, little one For we all crave, we all crave Just a little time No, your addiction's not a crime It's just a smaller part of who You want to become in the end When the snow is on her mind Rows and rows and lines and lines In the haze of your fixation We all crave for you, we all crave And can kill the wildest thing When you murder, it's a sin In the midst of your conviction We all crave for you, we all crave Just a little time No, your addiction's not a crime It's just a smaller part of who You want to become in the end
This is what I love about tristam. He doesn't just say those meaningful lyrics, he portrays them. WOW! Tristam is my fav artist for these amazing songs with hidden messages
+Menma “tђє lєฬ๔ кเภو” Aidou No, but I get moved by the vocal harmonics. I would feel the same emotions if it was in another language is what I am saying.
Never realized this til now, “when the snow is on her mind, rows and rows, and lines and lines” refers to cocaine. Seeing snow is a nickname for the drug, and you set up the powder in rows and lines. Can’t believe I never heard this.
Several years later, I could not be more proud of what Tristam has done. I am proud of you, friend. You helped a BIG number of people out of depression. Including me. Thank you.
Why do all Tristam music videos have to consist of people running lol. I like this video, considering Monstercat still has their streak of extremely odd music videos. His singing is really amazing in this one. The half naked old man will never be unseen. They must have seen some side ball while shooting this. Great song and video overall. EDIT: I now fully understand the meaning of this music video and its incredible. :D
Frankie Ray Lol I apologize for calling you old xD Never expected you to actually reply to me. But yeah your acting in this one is spot on. I must subscribe to you now :P
+FanaticFox thank you fox I did not take the old thing Seriously lol I take nothing serious I do appreciate the compliment. it was a hard shoot for me. painful. having to go to the depth of my rejection pain. fear and addiction. self loathing and rage. there was allot of stuff that was not used. with the tv thing. however I believe they captured the essence of what they were looking for in this character that has reached the bottom of everything. I appreciate your recognition of that. there are many comments I love the banter about what this project is talking about. everyone finds there own truth in it. that's beautiful. there are many messages here. I really hope it goes world wide so the message at its core is discovered. Tristam is very talented and clever
I'm watching this repeatedly trying to figure out the story of the music video, and I think I'm on to something... The video is all about people's imperfections and their inability to handle them. Craving, murder, addiction. I don't know who did what but from what I can tell, the dancer is anorexic, the football player uses steroids and the old man either is addicted to some kind of drug (judging by his home/personal appearance) or he murdered someone. The black paint symbolizes their "crave" consuming them, because they refuse to find a way out, and they all die pretending to be stable. The only one who finds the way out is the girl in the dress, who, when she sees the paint forming on her, washes it off. This would suggest she went to find help for whatever her problem was. The other four attempted to live with something that would undoubtedly pull them to their deaths without seeking some sort of help, and paid the ultimate price. The song talks all about how you can't feel guilty about something you've done that you know is wrong, because everyone has "craved." The idea is to give the message of not feeling embarrassment about something that people must know, and especially not to live with it.
I think the old man addiction is linked to some sort of ideological extremism, by the way he is drawn by, and the way he cries to the TV. Then performs some kind of fighting moves one time, and some prayer/ritual on another. Plus the tar first appear on half of his face, then his hands, then his entire body. The corruption took part of his identity, then his actions, then his whole being. Anorexia for the dancer makes sense, since the tar first appears on her throat. Maybe she is also too much of a perfectionist with her dance and abuses her own body and the use of anesthetics, she keeps dancing till the end, the tar takes over her legs and arms, but she keeps dancing until it finishes her. The black guy is an enigma to me, maybe he is paranoid because he committed a crime? The tar first appears of both of his entire arms. His clothes give no hint to what activity he is most obsessed with, he is just shown coming out of what appears to be an abandoned house, then riding a bike on the streets. He is the only one who keeps always looking to his sides and his back though, like he is always watching out to not get caught. The girl in the mirror and the guy with the football gear are pretty obvious. The fact they are all addicted to drugs as an escapism from their problems is also a given.
INB4 people call tristam bad for no other reason besides wanting to disagree with the majority EDIT: Best and most profound music video i've ever seen on MC.
Can't believe Tristam is only 20. I bet God sent him here. Just imagine how much this guy has to deliver. I am blessed to be contemporary with him! ❤Monstercat ❤Tristam ❤Music ❤Emotion
ever since I heard Flight, Tristan has been my favorite of the monstercat family! the vine is amazing and this song is right up there with them! TRISTAM!!!! Don't ever stop!!!
For the people who don't understand, I will explain what happened in the video. (Spoilers) A group of unlikely strangers, stranded with an insatiable desire for something, an addiction. Deprived from their control of their own bodies, Trapped in their own madness, the survivors ran on pointlessly, terrified of what they were becoming. But they couldn't hide forever, not when night was falling, Not when their strength was faltering, Not when their addiction is so close to catching up with them. so with a grim final determination, they made a final charge for safety. For all the things they care about in their life, they sprinted, fighting amidst the danger, the chaos, the clinging touch of death, desperately hoping to find a way out... It sucks to say it, but not everybody made it through. Believe it not, there is such things as unhappy endings. (So there you go. My interpretation of the story. Feel free to find a better explanation, but I hope this gives you a better insight :D)
I refuse to still believe that to this day this still only has 1.7 million views. That is alot dont get me wrong, but there's music videos out there that are literally just people showing girls ass and boobs. While there's videos like this that are wholesome and spread an actual message. I still personally connect with this song on such a deep level, and tristam still stands as one of my favorite artists ever. Have a great day/night to all you people reading this, and whoever is struggling with something, as tristam said "Your addiction is not a crime, its just a smaller part of you, and it wont be what you become in the end." Much love monstercat fam
Kocham muzykę tworzoną przez Tristam'a. Wszystkie jego teksty piosenek nowszych i starszych są niesamowite. Kompozycja muzyki jest przepiękna i szybko wpada w ucho. A jego głos jest fenomenalny!
Black tar = addiction Girl struggles with an obsession of self-image. Old guy struggles with... drugs? Black guy struggles with...(I don't want to be racist but) crime? Football player struggles with an obsession of the game. Dancer struggles with obsession over dancing. The cut in the video to running is them being free from their addiction and finding help in each other. Eventually the addiction takes over everyone but the girl who has been able to become comfortable with who she is and how she looks, displaying that there is always a way out. If anyone noticed anything I didn't, let me know.
Clare Bear Truth is up there but imo this is his best song. I really like the melody and unlike what other people are saying, I actually don't find it repetitive and boring at all. My top 5 right now would have to be: Crave I Remember My Friend Once Again Truth
PrinC3W Crave doesn't do anything for me. For me, there's nothing in the song that particularly stands out. Besides the lyrics. But I understand why you like it so much.
+PrinC3W hay im the old ugly guy in the video. its a very profound piece. people that don't get it must not have lived much life. you however have a great eye. my last music vid was Michael Jacksons last. YOU ROCK MY WORLD. Tristam is so profound to tackle this subject matter. and own it. I have never listened to Tristam before im a fan for life. so talented
I love love love this song, everything about it: the lyrics are deep and impactful as ever, the beat is mind blowing if you want to jam to that base and drums you can let loose and go crazy, if you want to be lost to the melody and the tone.... the overall vibe it gives. It should have hundreds of million views I don't get it.
Tristam has a way with each song which makes you stop and think about what you are listening to, every time you listen to it, each time you will be able to find a different thing in the words or music which make you feel like it is a whole new song. Thank you, Tristam, for making music like this, it will always be the best to me.
I think it's interesting how all the people watching this that suffer from depression can connect to the deeper meaning almost immediately, and the people that don't only realize it after they see the help line.
3 Things I realized about Tristam. 1. Tristam's latest 3 uploads are labelled Electro (on Monstercat) 2. This and Empire Of Sound are both his latest releases and they both have music videos 3. All of Tristam's music videos are electro Also that the outro of this sounds a lot like Empire Of Sound
I guess.. I actually do like the song.. but the video was really strange for me.. and (for me) not the good kind of strange.. like find that someone or move
Lyrics! As he watches through the door His smile pulls in more and more Wicked thoughts shape wicked ways While we all crave,while we all crave When the man yells at his son When he finds the smoking gun Dont you worry,Little one For we all crave,we all crave In just a little time No,your addiction is not a crime Its just a small part of who you want to become in the end When the snow is on her mind rows and rows, and lines and lines In the haze of your fixation we all crave,oh yeah,we all crave and you can kill the wildest thing When you murder its a sin idk after that lel
Its has been more than 3 years since i follow Tristam and he never disappoints, and its have been over 3 years since i have waited for a EP... guess i have to wait more
He dosent finish alot of his songs Because he only picks the best He takes forever to make a song It's worth the wait every time He is Braken ^^Spam by the people (he is not) Wow I guess there is really no reason
People dont realise the amazing meaning to this video. This needs to be a big hit, so more and more people see it and realise that there is a way out, but it isnt worth doing. Im not gonna end this comment with a bad pun, Im just going to leave on a good note. P.S We all Crave Tristams songs
+Twist3r Offical hay I play the old skinny guy in this. being a vet actor Dancer musician. I agree we rarely get a chance to create art and be involved with something so profound this is truly art. and I hope it just blows up and wins best song of the year. so this great message is listened to.

This is why Tristam is one of Monstercat's best.
Lyrics:
As he watches through the door
His smile pulls in more and more
Wicked thoughts shape wicked ways
While we all crave, while we all crave
When the man yells at his son
When he finds the smoking gun
Don't you worry, little one
For we all crave, we all crave
Just a little time
No, your addiction's not a crime
It's just a smaller part of who
You want to become in the end
When the snow is on her mind
Rows and rows and lines and lines
In the haze of your fixation
We all crave for you, we all crave
And can kill the wildest thing
When you murder, it's a sin
In the midst of your conviction
We all crave for you, we all crave
Just a little time
No, your addiction's not a crime
It's just a smaller part of who
You want to become in the end

For the people who don't understand, I will explain what happened in the video. (Spoilers)
A group of unlikely strangers, stranded with an insatiable desire for something, an addiction.
Deprived from their control of their own bodies,
Trapped in their own madness, the survivors ran on pointlessly,
terrified of what they were becoming.
But they couldn't hide forever,
not when night was falling,
Not when their strength was faltering,
Not when their addiction is so close to catching up with them.
so with a grim final determination, they made a final charge for safety.
For all the things they care about in their life, they sprinted,
fighting amidst the danger, the chaos, the clinging touch of death,
desperately hoping to find a way out...
It sucks to say it, but not everybody made it through.
Believe it not, there is such things as unhappy endings.

+PrinC3W hay im the old ugly guy in the video. its a very profound piece. people that don't get it must not have lived much life. you however have a great eye. my last music vid was Michael Jacksons last. YOU ROCK MY WORLD. Tristam is so profound to tackle this subject matter. and own it. I have never listened to Tristam before im a fan for life. so talented
this song is one that without fail no matter how hard i try will make me cry when i hear it. just speaks to me somewhere deep. true piece of art.
Tristam honestly needs to come out with a full length album 😩I'm dying for more
I love love love this song, everything about it: the lyrics are deep and impactful as ever, the beat is mind blowing if you want to jam to that base and drums you can let loose and go crazy, if you want to be lost to the melody and the tone.... the overall vibe it gives. It should have hundreds of million views I don't get it.
Amazing song, Great message :)
+Phartin Gayrix massage?
always
I swear, if it's future bass...
Luke Rapley it's not
what is the "message"?
Tristam has a way with each song which makes you stop and think about what you are listening to, every time you listen to it, each time you will be able to find a different thing in the words or music which make you feel like it is a whole new song. Thank you, Tristam, for making music like this, it will always be the best to me.
Splatoon 2 leaked footage
+Keaton Knippel Aahahaha Dude xd
+Keaton Knippel this comment was actually funny lol
I wonder when it's coming out
Cod 69 confirmed. Thanks David.
You mean Splatoon 4
Life changing
I think it's interesting how all the people watching this that suffer from depression can connect to the deeper meaning almost immediately, and the people that don't only realize it after they see the help line.
Tristam is love, Tristam is life.
Did you hear about Tristam's apartment I heard there was a Braken
+Emily Pizzitola That intruder is just a rogue.
Is this video talking about spiderman becoming black spiderman ?
Lololol
+REDxf0x No, Its about Spiderman becoming Asian Spiderman
LOOOOOOOL
Ermano ke wea
That message at the end made me cry, we love you too, Tristam xx
I didn't think of it before but Kojima must be a fan of Tristam
How so?
_Xythe_ watch the trailer for death stranding
oh, now i see
ohhh help me I just cant get this song out of my head. it just keeps popping in. I love it. but its haunting me now lol
3 Things I realized about Tristam.
1. Tristam's latest 3 uploads are labelled Electro (on Monstercat)
2. This and Empire Of Sound are both his latest releases and they both have music videos
3. All of Tristam's music videos are electro
Also that the outro of this sounds a lot like Empire Of Sound
Damn i was a freshman when i heard this...
So much has changed.
lifes wild people Appreciate and cherish all good moments.
one of most underrated and monstercat best song/track ones ever release.
Hands down, best Tristam song.
Who is 2024 here?😊
In 4 days this song will be 5 years old..... damn time flies😂
This is beautiful. This is ingenious. This is what our society needs. Thanks, Tristam.
Beautiful song. Tristam, amazing as always
this is seriously my new favorite song ever.
whoag. . kissass lol
The Mexican Potato well it really is. i cant think of any other song i like more at the moment
I guess.. I actually do like the song.. but the video was really strange for me.. and (for me) not the good kind of strange.. like find that someone or move
The Mexican Potato yeah the music video was a little weird. woouldve been a lot better without the old man thats for sure
+The Babe Taster Why do your comments not appear on your Google+ page anymore?
Listening this again makes me cry right from the start.
I saw Tristam and I was like DAYUUUM
He's not in this
+Logan Lien He probably meant in his sub box.
I meant my sub box because I did not know it was going to be Tristam because I don't watch the podcasts.
+ColtFPSGAMING That's the same thing over at NCS when Tobu pops up!
Lyrics!
As he watches through the door
His smile pulls in more and more
Wicked thoughts shape wicked ways
While we all crave,while we all crave
When the man yells at his son
When he finds the smoking gun
Dont you worry,Little one
For we all crave,we all crave
In just a little time
No,your addiction is not a crime
Its just a small part of who you want to become in the end
When the snow is on her mind
rows and rows, and lines and lines
In the haze of your fixation
we all crave,oh yeah,we all crave
and you can kill the wildest thing
When you murder its a sin
idk after that lel
In the midst of your conviction, we all crave, we all crave. Just a little time, no your addictions not a crime (someone finish the rest lmao)
It's just a small part of you want to become
In the end
Its has been more than 3 years since i follow Tristam and he never disappoints, and its have been over 3 years since i have waited for a EP... guess i have to wait more
3:53 oh, hello there, Michael Bay.
Never disappoints! THE BEST THERE IS!
TRISTAM - A LIVING LEGEND
You could say...
We're craving for this song.
Directed by Michael Bay
+Das Cubing Lol I commented the exact same thing wow
+Das Cubing gonna leave those 42 +1s be.
it can't be, there's an inspirational message at the end
Bae*
LMAO
Reasons you shouldn't like Tristam: Shit there aren't any!
There are none he is to fantastic to not like to fab 5 evry one
He dosent finish alot of his songs
Because he only picks the best
He takes forever to make a song
It's worth the wait every time
He is Braken
^^Spam by the people (he is not)
Wow I guess there is really no reason
He's really full of himself. But nothing I can say about his music.
Hes a smoker but idc
How is he full of himself he seems like a pretty humble guy
Crave, The Truth, and Once again are my favourite Tristam tracks
2 years ago this song came out... today it is still amazing.
Who else was constantly refreshing the page to see when the song was going to be uploaded? I know there at least a few of you
I have got to say, honestly, This has got to be the best track Tristam has ever made
One of the best works on Monstercat.
This song and this video are true pieces of art.
let the hunger games begin..?
No.
Thats what i was thinking
xD more like a running documentary by michael bay
+jemoederwil datjenaarhuiskomt Most accurate description ever xD
Without words. Tristam, you are amazing...
People dont realise the amazing meaning to this video. This needs to be a big hit, so more and more people see it and realise that there is a way out, but it isnt worth doing.
Im not gonna end this comment with a bad pun, Im just going to leave on a good note.
P.S We all Crave Tristams songs
+KuhlKaktus I feel you man.
+KuhlKaktus No homo
+Twist3r Offical hay I play the old skinny guy in this. being a vet actor Dancer musician. I agree we rarely get a chance to create art and be involved with something so profound this is truly art. and I hope it just blows up and wins best song of the year. so this great message is listened to.
+Frankie Ray Preach dude.
I cried after I read the pun after you said bad puns😂
Just a smaller part of who, you'll want to become in the end.
