Field Trip
Melanie Martinez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know I'm not one to take orders from ya
I'll drop another clue for you peek a boo, now do you get it
You always wonder why I just say "forget it"
'Cause talking to a brick wall gives me headaches, headaches

Spread your lies while I stretch
Spread my legs and do the splits
Yell at me on your screen
While I stand up to your being
You're not real, just like me
We were never our bodies
We're just dust, energy
Hot like melting icy cream

Tryna bring the mystical into the material
Bitch, I'm an eleven life path, I'm ethereal
I'm the definition of dichotomy, duality
Katarina in the womb for nine months, 'til she birthed me
Look at her she's a bridge and on her bridge, I'll take a shit
Fuck it up you get lit let's get deep if not I'll dip
I'll be riding solo on my field trip
Ooh, ooh, oh oh
Ooh, ooh, oh oh

I'm never gonna be what you had envisioned
You said "Blanquitas" feel more Latina than you, "Ahora lo entiendes"
You always say you're woke, it's your aesthetic
But is your empathy actually authentic, is it?

I am shy but I do speak only when I truly need
To say some shit that hopefully
Will reach the ears it's supposed to be
I try my best to show them me, my rising sign is all they see
Scorpio bitch with a sharp ass sting
I gotta Taurus Sun, Moon, Mercury

Tryna bring the mystical into the material
Bitch, I'm an eleven life path, I'm ethereal
I'm the definition of dichotomy, duality
Katarina in the womb for nine months, 'til she birthed me
Look at her she's a bridge and on her bridge, I'll take a shit
Fuck it up you get lit let's get deep if not I'll dip
I'll be riding solo on my field trip
Ooh, ooh, oh oh
Ooh, ooh, oh oh

Overall Meaning

In Melanie Martinez's song "Field Trip," she talks about her individuality and the difficulties she faces in fitting in with society's expectations. She starts off by letting others know that she doesn't take orders from anyone, hinting at her rebellious nature. Despite this, she drops hints for people to understand her point of view. She then goes on to say that she would rather not waste her time talking to people who refuse to understand her, as it gives her a headache. Martinez then goes on to talk about how people spread lies about her while she's out there being true to herself. She asserts that being true to yourself is essential since we are all just energy and dust.


She then brings up some of the challenges she faces in fitting in with societal expectations, particularly with regards to her ethnicity. She sarcastically points out how people believe light-skinned people feel more Latina than she does, revealing how difficult it is to fit into the mold of what a "Latina" is supposed to look and feel like. Melanie then goes on to express her introverted nature and how she only speaks up when needed. She highlights her zodiac sign (Scorpio) and her multiple Taurus placements, indicating how her astrological signs and characteristics influence her.


Throughout the song, Melanie asserts her uniqueness and that she will always be true to herself. She refuses to change or conform to others' expectations just to fit in. Instead, she embraces her individuality and goes on a "field trip," symbolizing a journey of self-discovery and acceptance.

Melanie is Hispanic. Although, people have accused her of not really being latina. So when she sings "you say blanquitas feel more latina than you, ahora lo entiendes", she's probably calling out those people and saying that basically people don't see her as an latina artist because of how she looks.

@jesy4867

But Hispanic doesn't mean Latinx... Which one is she?

@jesy4867

For anyone wondering, her parents are of Dominican and Puerto Rican descent meaning she is a Latina. But because Latinx is not a race she may probably be white.

@mariemashups3072

xelormx oh okay. That was just my theory. Thanks for telling me!!
