The Trip
ART-SCHOOL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm all buckled up in my ten-ton rocket.
I've got your picture in my spacesuit pocket.
I hope that I don't explode...
I didn't think that I'd leave Earth this soon,
I'd rather be spending more time with you.
But there's something I want you to know:

One trip around the sun.
One more and I'll be done.

When I come back home I'll give you a spacesuit
And we'll head up over the clouds, just me and you.
My cabin walls start to shake.
Time to double check all the gauges in here.
Don't want to die up in the atmosphere.
The laws of physics will break.

Hold my hand, we're gonna blow this place.
We're going to take a chance out in outer space.
We'll leave the world behind, we'll leave the world behind.

I dream about how you and I will one day get together and we'll plan our big escape.
We'll start a home out on Mars.
Alien babies are the hot new trend.
I guess we'll have to have twenty five of them.
Nothing will keep us apart.

Hold my hand, we're gonna blow this place.
We're going to take a chance out in outer space.
We'll leave the world behind, we'll leave the world behind.

The G forces start to pull my face apart, and all I see are stars.

There's so many things to say, but the ink floats off the page.
And the rocket has no phone. I can't wait until I get home to you.

Hold my hand, we're gonna blow this place.
We're going to take a chance out in outer space.




We'll leave the world behind, we'll leave the world behind

Overall Meaning

In the song "The Trip" by ART-SCHOOL, the lyrics depict an individual who is embarking on a journey into space. The opening lines, "I'm all buckled up in my ten-ton rocket. I've got your picture in my spacesuit pocket," suggest that the singer is preparing for the trip while carrying a picture of someone they care about. There is a sense of anticipation and a fear of the unknown, as expressed in the lines, "I hope that I don't explode... I didn't think that I'd leave Earth this soon, I'd rather be spending more time with you."


The chorus, "One trip around the sun. One more and I'll be done," signifies a completion of a significant period or milestone in the singer's journey. It could be interpreted as the completion of a personal goal or a metaphorical representation of the passage of time.


The second verse introduces the idea of returning home after the space trip. The singer plans to give their loved one a spacesuit and experiences the excitement of exploring the skies together. However, there is also a sense of danger and uncertainty, as reflected in the lines, "My cabin walls start to shake. Time to double check all the gauges in here. Don't want to die up in the atmosphere. The laws of physics will break."


The pre-chorus and chorus express a strong desire for the singer and their loved one to escape the confines of their current world. They dream of starting a new life on Mars and the idea of having extraterrestrial children. This section may symbolize their longing for a fresh start, away from societal norms and expectations.


The song concludes with a sense of detachment from earthly life as the singer experiences the intense pull of the G-forces and becomes mesmerized by the sight of stars. The lyrics, "There's so many things to say, but the ink floats off the page. And the rocket has no phone. I can't wait until I get home to you," convey a sense of longing and isolation, as the singer is unable to communicate with their loved one during the journey.


Overall, "The Trip" by ART-SCHOOL explores themes of adventure, escape, and the yearning for connection. It portrays the singer's journey into space as a metaphor for seeking something beyond the conventional and embracing the unknown, while also acknowledging the sacrifices and challenges that come with such endeavors.
