Universe
Eric's Trip Lyrics

The lyrics to Eric's Trip's song Universe capture the feeling of being entranced by someone to the point where their mere thoughts turn everything blue and surround you with a mystifying aura. The singer's world revolves around this person, although they feel slightly trapped and in between the desires of the object of their adoration. The imagery of twisted legs and denied feet suggests a sense of physical paralysis, and the notion of a loveboat between the ears implies both a narrative and aural experience of being fully consumed.

The song's title suggests a cosmic sense of enormity and being swallowed by the vastitude of space, which mirrors the feeling of overwhelming infatuation depicted in the lyrics. The repetition of the line "everything I choose to do now all belongs to you" reinforces the idea that the singer's agency and identity are subsumed by the other person, which can feel both exhilarating and suffocating. The final line of "you love her" seems to be a fragmented thought or realization that comes out of the haze of the rest of the song, perhaps indicating that the singer is not reciprocated or that their love is one-sided. Overall, Universe captures the disorienting and all-consuming aspects of being in love.
