Loop
Chip Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On a loop, shoelaces
Stoop kid why don't you ever leave your stoop?
Two faces, to every coin and story
I stay in my place kicking the day's groin two stories
Addicted to bein' a dipshit for the fame and glory
Most livin' in a loop of that pain and worry
I try to tell y'all in the plainest story
Actin' blameless can't tame this shadow within
Boxin' myself, got the gloves to my chin
Thinkin' life's tough when it's lookin' so grim
There's no love for him
To go for the dunk you gotta rise above the rim so I size my jump to take off enough for the win
My soul's had enough of this sin
Survivin' in modern day Babylon
I travel on, a seed in the wind
Keepin' belief in my grin
Humbled by the sunlight and the words that some write
Simple phrases relating to symbols and phases
Language so nimble yet graceless
In a way I feel I can face this day after day until it takes me to new places
Wearin' out these shoelaces
Carin' about whose faces are in my vicinity from now until infinity
And when we breath it will be a loop of togethernessin order to weather thisand any storm
Feelin' renewed feel as if I have been reborn
Tallest of trees from the smallest acorn
We all have been scorned
Now we know not what we do
Unconsciousness
I feel I am almost onto this mystery of the missing consciousness
Conscientious of there being no consequence
We look for a savior ignoring our own conscience
Confound it, I think found something concrete in this nonsense
Time to become cognizant of the clock ticks
Even though no matter what we do we can never stop it
So I sit back, pack up a pipe and take pot hits
Then a feeling comes over me like, "I got this"
Nauseous with the thoughts that I'm not rich
Becoming obnoxious when I think to many thoughts which don't allow me to be a human being
Being human
What am I doin?
Screwing up by doin' too much or am I cueing up to do more from not doing enough?
It's true and it sucks
I'm through with the rush
Patience is a virtue
So I'm takin' a steady pace with no cares of a hare in this turtle's chase
Towards the finish line in a hurdled race
Sometimes it's a bit sour milk with a curdled taste
Other days it is sweetness with such flavor thinkin' "nothin' can beat this"
Life is sour
Life is a sweet dish
Lemons and peaches
Just remember the sweetness
Forget the sour because there will be more in the next hour
Blessed our are souls for being a part from the whole to experience it full
To play every part, every role
Even when life takes it's toll we have the choice to let love take control
Yo, let go and let love take control

Take control of your mind

Take control of your heart

Take control of your soul




Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let go, let love take control

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chip's song "Loop" touch on various themes of self-reflection, personal growth, and the complexities of life. The repeating motif of shoelaces on a loop symbolizes the everyday routines and habits that keep us stuck in a cycle. Chip questions why some people seem content to stay in their comfort zones, represented metaphorically by the "stoop." He acknowledges the duality of human nature, recognizing that everyone has two sides or faces.


The artist expresses a craving for fame and glory but admits to being addicted to making foolish choices for attention. Chip observes that many people are trapped in a loop of pain and worry, unable to break free from their struggles. Despite trying to convey his message plainly, he feels a shadow within himself that he cannot control. The lyrics imply that sometimes we inadvertently limit ourselves, boxing ourselves in with our own self-imposed restrictions.


Chip uses basketball imagery to illustrate the pursuit of success. To achieve greatness, he uses the metaphor of jumping high enough to win the dunk. However, he acknowledges that there is no love for him and that he feels weighed down by sin. He sees himself as a seed in the wind, traveling through life with faith and optimism. Despite facing challenges, he remains humble and appreciates the simple joys, such as sunlight and meaningful words.


The lyrics then delve into addressing the human tendency to seek salvation from external sources rather than reflecting on our own conscience. Chip feels he is on the cusp of understanding the mystery of consciousness and acknowledges the lack of consequences that society often ignores. He realizes that time passes relentlessly, and despite our efforts, we cannot stop it. In an attempt to cope with these thoughts, he turns to marijuana, which provides him a brief feeling of confidence.


The following section explores the artist's introspection and inner conflict. He questions whether he is doing too much or not enough, illustrating the delicate balance between ambition and overexertion. Chip acknowledges the importance of patience and takes a steady pace in life's race, accepting that there will be moments of hardship and disappointment. He compares life to both sour and sweet experiences, constantly reminding himself to focus on the sweetness and blessings rather than dwelling on the sour moments.


The closing lines of the song emphasize the power of love and the need to relinquish control. Chip encourages listeners to let love guide their minds, hearts, and souls. By surrendering control, he suggests finding peace and contentment. Ultimately, the lyrics highlight the importance of self-reflection, embracing both the challenges and joys of life, and letting love be the guiding force.
