Edwin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throw me a crumb throw me a bone, yeah
Street kid comes along
Let me through, he say's,
I'm higher than you, now
I feel like a star
I feel like a star
Kicking the can around
The air is high, my mouth dry, feeling mellow
Sweet thing come along
I say hello, she say's hello and did you know
I feel like a star
I feel like a star
It's never very far
I feel like a star
(you're never very far)
Fallin' down
Burning out
Shootin' through the sky watch the meteor fly
Gather 'round
Gather 'round
Watch me as I hit the ground
Trippin around down town
Throw me a crumb throw me a bone, yeah
I feel like a star
I feel like a star
It's never very far
I feel like a star
Yeah yeah yeah
Fallin' down
Burning out
Shootin' through the sky watch the meteor fly
Gather 'round
Gather 'round
Watch me as I hit the ground
Watch me as I hit the ground
The lyrics from Edwin's song "Trippin'" describes a feeling of euphoria. The singer is walking around downtown and feels like a star, saying "throw me a crumb, throw me a bone," meaning they feel like they are on top of the world, but they still want more. The singer meets a street kid who says that he is even higher than them, but they still feel like a star. Later on, a "sweet thing" comes along, and they exchange hellos. The singer feels like he is never far away from feeling like a star.
As the song continues, the singer feels like they are shooting through the sky like a meteor before they fall back down to the ground. They realize that the high they were feeling was only temporary and they come back down to reality. Despite this, they still feel like they are a star and want to be seen by those around them.
The song can be interpreted as a commentary on the idea of feeling invincible when we are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. We feel like we are on top of the world, but it's only temporary, and we eventually come back down to reality. The chorus, "I feel like a star, it's never very far," represents the idea that we can reach for the stars, but we always have to come back down.
