My big step brother used to jam these guys before they got big, and this is the song I remembered hearing the most coming from his room. We had so much more in common than we knew back then, both of us turned out to be skaters, musicians, stoners for a little while when we were teenagers at least, and huge 311 fans for life. We were only step bros for a couple of years, but damage done 😎
Lol i'm also a 311 superfan, drummer and i started skating again since stopping as a teen. Never was a stoner though but always been into the "stoner culture" in other ways...
yep...I used to listen to this album everyday on a long commute to work. just put me in a good headspace instead of being in the here and now while sitting in traffic. great lyrics...always felt this song should have been a bigger hit than it was. love it to this day ..still listen while working out
I wish them and sublime would've toured together. That would've been a badass show to catch. Well, they still can since Brad's son is now the lead singer.
Best music video they ever made, hands down. The way they integrated Chad, Tim and PNut into the video, the imagery, and Nick and SA not making me feel so bad about my attempts at dance moves...just all of it. Love it haha girl is gorgeous too. Transistor was my musical awakening, grassroots was my mind's awakening and the rest is just history. I hope this band resolves it's inner conflicts and gives us more magic in a live setting for years to come. The world needs 311.

You know there are certain songs out there that just resonate. The emotions that flow through my body and my soul listening to this song puts my mind at a certain state of calmness relaxing and happiness true music 311 thank you guys so much for bringing such unique harmonies to the mind. Love you guys for life thank you for everyone that put their heart and soul into this band and the creation of this video.
I saw these cats 20 years ago twice in New Orleans for 311 day. Man they were great they played 3+ hours. Just awesome. Hard to believe 20 years has passed. God Bless.
This is the album that propelled me into a lifelong fan of 311.... Transistor is the best album in my opinion, that may be because 'transistor' was the first album of 311 i ever bought...but for me, this album is in my top 10 of all time, for sure
That was pretty cool/I've never seen it before. I still don't understand why transistor was slightly misunderstood at the time. It was a good direction for the band.
Used to blast this song and "CD" driving to Ft Myers Beach and Sanibel Beaches every weekend from Cape Coral. All the old spots destroyed now from the Hurricane. 😢
the numbers didn't show on this song and album back then because people were filesharing it. now that we have atoned and pay for streaming the truth comes out. this cassette defined my junior year in college. these guys have outlasted a lot of other bands. can't nobody do it like 311.
Our souls being trapped in the material world…. And the forces that control society want us to stay here.. but the girl knows there’s more and she wants to ascend into higher consciousness to break free from this earth prison.
They represent the influence of Saturn which is related to time and rigid rules. Time is an integral part of our imprisonment in this earthly dimension. Without it people couldn't be restrained and tortured as well as they currently are. The perception of time as a lineal irreversible flow makes us easily controllable, together with many illusionary layers of what is sold to us as "reality" we fail to find the exit. The old men are also depicted in the fantasy story "Momo" where they are also described as the "grey gentlemen" or "men in grey". It's not really a fantasy story it rather shows us true facettes of the world we live in which is a very limiting and evil place that is ruled by entities that use humans for energy and create the world they desire because they can't do it by themselves.
311 is a very important number for the elite. In the rona declaration case it's also fitting to Revelation 3:11. They definately are into the occult most of their cover art and lyrics suggest that.
It's about our world that is the black cube matrix and the woman who wants to escape it (of course mushrooms help with realizing that this world is a fake prison dimension, that's why they are shown in the video).
"Prisoner" Whoa oh prisoner My pretty oh oh prisoner A black ocean is the sky above Tiny lights bob what star you from Trapped in material plane She wants to fly and they think she's insane But she knows what she know Give that girl wings and that's all she wrote Twilight zone [2x] I'm floating in the dark alone and Is there any love out here let me know A laser lights pinpoints the top of my dome Then through my body As if Scotty's beaming up a wayward soul Mutant races in an ancient universe Dark shadows humans rhymin' in a raggae verse It's gone if you blink I can see it as soon as you think it Dancehalls crystal balls On sidewalk malls Psychic people outdoors reading palms I believe that you know more To survive the dimension if four Oh prisoner My pretty oh oh prisoner Look at the way she's searching Trapped in a world that's hurting So bad it makes her cry But I won't let her say good bye Twilight zone [2x] I'm floating in the dark alone and [2x] Is there any love out here let me know No way [2x] Thankful for 311

This song is criminally underrated.
The whole album was.
Every music video on UA-cam is underrated.
Agreed. This entire album is. Should be a top 10 album of allllll fkn time
311 is criminally underrated!
One of their best imo
This band is so underrated! I loved this and the blue album.
Malesa Odom The lead singer once owned an island. Not overrated! 😂

Dedicated fan since 1997--when I was 10 yrs old.
Been to as many shows as came to my area...
I've been carrying the torch alone for so long....
Keep the faith bro
Listen to this song at 3am in the morning in a hot tub. Look up at the dark nightmarish blue sky and hear the echoes from Nick and Dougs voices
I love that they structured this song around the 1980's "Stalag Riddim" electronic reggae beat.
Vinny M shit is it??? Damn you’re right. O bam bam, one time bam bam. Sista Nancy!!!!
Mind blown...how did I never realize this? I fucking love the 311 community
Are we all aware of how extremely ahead of their time they really were? Like these lyrics are 🔥🔥🔥
What does that mean to be ahead of their time? Is that really even possible?
@@mcmacshalfilya yes obviously 🙄
@@meiling6937 Judging by your photo, your beauty is ahead of most. If not ALL
I was going to say ahead of its time. But that didn't really make sense in this case.
yep...I used to listen to this album everyday on a long commute to work. just put me in a good headspace instead of being in the here and now while sitting in traffic. great lyrics...always felt this song should have been a bigger hit than it was. love it to this day ..still listen while working out
I'm floating in the dark alone.....
This is my favorite song from this whole album
311 is the bad mood murderer.
Amen
Yes they are!
I wish them and sublime would've toured together. That would've been a badass show to catch. Well, they still can since Brad's son is now the lead singer.
NOPE!!! Shinbone CLIMATE GRINDER and window DOWN #ExecutiveOrder12949 #FuckingBillyBadass!!!!
@@rogueprince1341too bad. I liked Rome better
Love 311. Such an amazing album. Still rock this shit

"Whoa oh prisoner
My pretty oh oh prisoner
A black ocean is the sky above
Tiny lights bob what star you from
Trapped in material plane
She wants to fly and they think she's insane
But she knows what she know
Give that girl wings and that's all she wrote
Twilight zone [2x]
I'm floating in the dark alone and
Is there any love out here let me know
A laser lights pinpoints the top of my dome
Then through my body
As if Scotty's beaming up a wayward soul
Mutant races in an ancient universe
Dark shadows humans rhymin' in a raggae verse
It's gone if you blink
I can see it as soon as you think it
Dancehalls crystal balls
On sidewalk malls
Psychic people outdoors reading palms
I believe that you know more
To survive the dimension is four
Oh prisoner
My pretty oh oh prisoner
Look at the way she's searching
Trapped in a world that's hurting
So bad it makes her cry
But I won't let her say good bye
Twilight zone [2x]
I'm floating in the dark alone and [2x]
Is there any love out here let me know
No way [2x]"
Yeah but Shinbone CLIMATE GRINDER and window DOWN #ExecutiveOrder12949 #FuckingBillyBadass have "THE PLAN!!"
The bass line in this song could be a nod to Sister Nancy's Bam Bam.
Well played boys
You know there are certain songs out there that just resonate. The emotions that flow through my body and my soul listening to this song puts my mind at a certain state of calmness relaxing and happiness true music 311 thank you guys so much for bringing such unique harmonies to the mind. Love you guys for life thank you for everyone that put their heart and soul into this band and the creation of this video.
Thank You 311! may your music live on for eternity!
One of the best songs ever made, no I’m not over exaggerating. ❤️ pure intelligence.
Seeing these guys 2 times over the next 5 days! Can't get enough of them right now. Their music holds up!
Which shows did you end up going to?
Transistor was such an amazing album. I was like 9byears old when my older sister bought it and we played it to death
Great vocal melodies, great riffs! What more could you ask for? Probably one of the top 5 bands of the 90s.
Very underrated my favorite 311 song almost except for the whole f****** transistor album
This song has saved me too many times to count
Here I am again 🥺😭💔
I saw these cats 20 years ago twice in New Orleans for 311 day. Man they were great they played 3+ hours. Just awesome. Hard to believe 20 years has passed. God Bless.

311 forever
I'm high asf and I can't stop replaying this song omg it's so good 🤟🏼💯🎸🔥 Incubus/Faith No More vibes
The intro almost looks like a Tool music video.
I've always thought the same thing.
Yeah, it looks kinda similar to the intro of the music video for Sober.
I absolutely love this song 😊
That was pretty cool/I've never seen it before. I still don't understand why transistor was slightly misunderstood at the time. It was a good direction for the band.
Used to blast this song and "CD" driving to Ft Myers Beach and Sanibel Beaches every weekend from Cape Coral. All the old spots destroyed now from the Hurricane. 😢
A little gem of alternative Rock-Pop.
I freaking love Nick’s voice !
Martinez vocals are delightful
Happy 21st birthday!!! Still my favorite song!!!

When Mahoney and Pnut switched hairstyles 😁
From the album Transistor
the numbers didn't show on this song and album back then because people were filesharing it. now that we have atoned and pay for streaming the truth comes out. this cassette defined my junior year in college. these guys have outlasted a lot of other bands. can't nobody do it like 311.
Yeah but Shinbone CLIMATE GRINDER and window DOWN #ExecutiveOrder12949 #FuckingBillyBadass have "THE PLAN!!"
Why isn't this the version I know?! Lyrics are missing?! Nonetheless, nostalgia at its finest.
💚💛❤️
BryonyGayle The Music video is shorter then the actual song
@@mastodon0124 No it isn't. The song is 2:51 on the album. This video is 2:53
This version is exactly the same as the album and any other recording.
Nick❤
This song is waaaay too short!!!!

This has been stick in my head for weeks, someone help
Found this band from my 4th hour teacher. Thank God for Math class lmao
SUp Dudes
Who else loves that Stalag 17 bassline??
😍😍😍
Does anyone knows the name of the actress in this video?
💖
no way no way
Black cube,,, prisoners,,, men in suits,,, are these guys into the saturn cube conspiracy theory?
Some of this looks like Klaxons - Golden Skans music video.
mutant races in an ancient universe.
last time i saw this there were a few million views lol
This video uses the "old people are scary" trope from a lot of 90s music videos. Filter's "Jurrasitol" is another good example.
in mushrooms we trust!
Remove the vocals, and this is a hidden track to the original Spyro The Dragon game.
Eminem looks cracked out at 0:47.
1:32 "Shinbone wants statehood"
What do you guys think this song is about?
Our souls being trapped in the material world…. And the forces that control society want us to stay here.. but the girl knows there’s more and she wants to ascend into higher consciousness to break free from this earth prison.
1:19 Chad! 🤟😁😁
🤙
593 views, thats sad
The first thing I thought
look at the upload date. For some reason a lot of 311's music videos were taken down.
now 4 months later, I see 18,680 views on this.
RE: heeseofficial: obviously the illuminati new world order took them down for popularizing expanded consciousness.
Baddest Band of ALL TIME, and I'm not someone new to music!!! Can't wait to see them in Atlanta. Wish I could hang out and chill with them!!!
Okay, what's with the old dudes?
They represent the influence of Saturn which is related to time and rigid rules. Time is an integral part of our imprisonment in this earthly dimension. Without it people couldn't be restrained and tortured as well as they currently are.

never pay life
311 march 11th the day they shut down the country for the coronavirus and we became prisoners. This band was in the occult.
You should write fanfic. It sounds like a cool story. If you're actually being serious then yikes lol
Investigate 311
311 is a very important number for the elite.
In the rona declaration case it's also fitting to Revelation 3:11.
They definately are into the occult most of their cover art and lyrics suggest that.
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:16 “Hey there bud you got time for some Jesus?”
pay attention
sensory deprivation tank
Me4 surviving the dimension
irie man
Dude this song is about tripping on mushrooms,just watch the first few secs of the video
It's about our world that is the black cube matrix and the woman who wants to escape it (of course mushrooms help with realizing that this world is a fake prison dimension, that's why they are shown in the video).
Used to record this song off the radio X96 onto cassette tapes in the 90's

"Prisoner"
Whoa oh prisoner
My pretty oh oh prisoner
A black ocean is the sky above
Tiny lights bob what star you from
Trapped in material plane
She wants to fly and they think she's insane
But she knows what she know
Give that girl wings and that's all she wrote
Twilight zone [2x]
I'm floating in the dark alone and
Is there any love out here let me know
A laser lights pinpoints the top of my dome
Then through my body
As if Scotty's beaming up a wayward soul
Mutant races in an ancient universe
Dark shadows humans rhymin' in a raggae verse
It's gone if you blink
I can see it as soon as you think it
Dancehalls crystal balls
On sidewalk malls
Psychic people outdoors reading palms
I believe that you know more
To survive the dimension if four
Oh prisoner
My pretty oh oh prisoner
Look at the way she's searching
Trapped in a world that's hurting
So bad it makes her cry
But I won't let her say good bye
Twilight zone [2x]
I'm floating in the dark alone and [2x]
Is there any love out here let me know
No way [2x]
Thankful for 311
