example of 5150 drift style lyrics from the song "Unstable" by Oblyveus Cracker-
Three pills in the morning three more each night, still inside I feel so cold and dead I think the dosage aint right. But I do what they say so I stay here outside, cause the walls of the psych ward would eat me alive, 5150 drift I have nothing to hide, keeps me from melting, helps me survive. -
