Trip
Bliss 66 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's running through your veins
But you still want more
Looking for the wings that can make you fly
You want to hold the world
And kiss the sky
Well hey hey hey,
Well hey hey
[Chorus]
Everybody jump inside
Everybody touch the sky
Somebody's gone insane
Everybody's dancin' in the rain
You've got bloodshot eyes
And a heavy heart
Long sleeves covering
Your needle marks
Broken dreams
And an empty hope
How does it feel when you start to choke?
Well hey hey hey
Well hey hey
[Chorus]
Well hey hey hey
Well hey hey
Well hey hey hey
Now you wish that you'd never came
Cause now you know you'll never be the same
Now you wish that you'd never came
Cause now you're never gonna be the same
[Chorus: x2]
The rain
The rain
The rain
Bliss 66's song Trip is a commentary on drug addiction and its destructive impact. The song describes the addiction cycle, as the person starts losing control and becomes more and more desperate for the next fix. The lyrics "I see you start to trip to the 13th floor, It's running through your veins, but you still want more" describe the initial rush the person gets from the drug, but also the insatiable desire for more, which becomes the primary motivation for their actions. The reference to the 13th floor alludes to the idea that the person is going higher and higher until they inevitably hit rock bottom.
The chorus, "Everybody jump inside, everybody touch the sky, somebody's gone insane, everybody's dancing in the rain," is both an indictment of the addictive behavior and a representation of the drug culture, where users find solace in group experiences. The line "somebody's gone insane" suggests that this behavior is irrational and dangerous.
The second verse shifts the tone, as the song turns to the darker side of addiction. The lyrics "you've got bloodshot eyes and a heavy heart, long sleeves covering your needle marks," paint a picture of the physical damage caused by addiction. The "broken dreams and empty hope" refer to the emotional turmoil and feeling of despair that addicts experience.
Overall, the song is a cautionary tale that highlights the vicious cycle of addiction and its terrible consequences.
