Synopsis

Filter and The Crystal Method perform inside a stark, industrial-looking facility while footage from the film Spawn flashes around them. The video follows a surreal government experiment in which the band members appear to undergo observation, testing, and increasingly disturbing visions. Scientific equipment, shadowy figures, violent imagery, and rapid editing create a hallucinatory atmosphere that matches the track's aggressive blend of industrial rock and electronic music. The music video connects the song to Spawn without attempting to retell the film's full story.

Factoids & Trivia

• The track was recorded specifically for the 1997 film Spawn and appears as the opening song on the soundtrack album. It is also heard during the movie's end credits.

• The song is a reworking of "Trip Like I Do," which originally appeared on The Crystal Method's debut album Vegas.

• Filter members Richard Patrick and Brian Liesegang co-wrote and co-produced the revised version with The Crystal Method.

• The video is notable for using footage from Spawn alongside newly filmed material. It is the soundtrack's clearest music-video connection to the movie.

• The song reached No. 29 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and No. 30 on the US Active Rock chart.

• The track later gained another high-profile placement through the theatrical trailer for The Matrix. It was also used in promotional material for the Enter the Matrix video game and the 2002 Spider-Man reveal trailer, despite not appearing in either film.

• The song's concept reportedly grew from messages left by a friend of Scott Kirkland, who was using ecstasy and repeatedly expressed the wish that Kirkland could experience the same trip.
