The world of Rock has a bright new star."

Trespassing
Adam Lambert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I came across this sign
Sayin' "who are you and where are you from?"
We don't like when visitors come.
'No trespassing' that's what it said
At least that's what I could read.
No trespassing? yeah, my ass!
Wait till ya get a load of me!
That the ether I had tapped into could be reality
It was great, that's when I climbed that optimistic vine
Once I hit that mountain peak I began to lose my mind
I don't need no sympathy. I won't cry and whine.
Life's my light and liberty
And I'll shine when I wanna shine.
Make their faces crack
There's no turning back.
Let's go!
Well I was walkin' for some time
When I came across this sign
Sayin' "who are you and where are you from? "
We don't like when visitors come.
'No trespassing' that's what it said
At least that's what I could read.
No trespassing? yeah, my ass!
Wait till ya get a load of me!
I ain't got B-S in my bag
That's the one thing you can believe
My heart is gold, my body is lax
Come on baby, can't you see?
Well I was walkin' for some time
When I came across this sign
Sayin' "who are you and where are you from?"
We don't like when visitors come.
'No trespassing' that's what it said
At least that's what I could read.
No trespassing? yeah, my ass!
Wait till ya get a load of me!
Wait till ya get a load of me!
The first verse of Adam Lambert's song Trespassing sets the scene of the singer encountering a sign that reads, "No Trespassing". However, the singer reads it as a challenge and proclaims confidently, "Wait till ya get a load of me!". This could be interpreted as the singer's defiance and rejection of social norms and expectations. The second verse continues the theme of exploring new territories and being unapologetically oneself without regard for others' judgments or opinions. The singer alludes to a spiritual experience and realizing that the realm he had accessed could be a reality. He also sings about the exhilaration of reaching new heights and losing oneself in the moment.
The chorus highlights the singer's autonomy and self-reliance, with the lyrics "I don't need no sympathy. I won't cry and whine. Life's my light and liberty, and I'll shine when I wanna shine." The repetition of the line "No trespassing? yeah, my ass!" reinforces the message of the song: the singer refuses to be stopped or slowed down by boundaries or obstacles.
Overall, "Trespassing" is a song about being unapologetically oneself and not letting society or others dictate who you are or how you live. It promotes individuality, self-expression, and freedom.
