Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For taking the easy way out
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out now
She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out
And I found out
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there, now
She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out
And I found out
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Tried to please her
She only played one night stand
Tried to please her
She only played one night stand, now
She was a day tripper
Sunday driver, yeah
It took me so long to find out
And I found out
Day tripper, day tripper, yeah
Day tripper, day tripper, yeah
Day tripper, day tripper, yeah
The lyrics of Domingo Quiñones’s song “Day Tripper” tell the story of a man who falls for a woman who turns out to be a “day tripper.” A day tripper is someone who goes on day trips or takes one-way tickets, meaning they’re not committed to a long-term relationship. The singer confesses that he has a “good reason” for taking the “easy way out” because she’s not worth trying to please. We can infer that he has realized that she’s not the kind of person he wants to be with, romantically.
The song also describes how the woman leads the singer on, being a “big teaser.” She takes him halfway there, indicating that she’s not interested in a full-fledged relationship with him. She only plays “one-night stand(s),” which means she’s only interested in casual sex. The singer tries to please her, but it’s not enough for her. At the end of the song, he realizes that it took him a long time to figure out that she wasn’t worth it.
The song carries a moral lesson about love and relationships. It’s essential to be with someone who’s genuinely interested in a long-term relationship and not to waste your time pursuing someone who isn’t. It’s not worth it in the long run.
