Glue Trip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For all my life I've been so close
And I don't know where to go
For all my life I've been so close
And I don't know where to go
For all my life I've been so close
And I don't know where to go
For all my life I've been so close
And I don't know where to go
For all my life I've been so close
My love was always by my side
And I don't know why
You don't like to be with me
In a sunny day
And I don't know why
You don't call me right now
Don't know why
You don't like to be with me
In a sunny day
My love was always by my side
And I don't know why
You don't like to be with me
In a sunny day
And I don't know why
You don't call me right now
Don't know why
You don't like to be with me
In a sunny day
My love was always by my side
And I don't know why
You don't like to be with me
In a sunny day
And I don't know why
You don't call me right now
Don't know why
You don't like to be with me
In a sunny day
My love was always by my side. x 4
The lyrics of Glue Trip's song "Elbow Pain" express the confusion and uncertainty of the singer about their current situation. The repeated lines "And I don't know where to go, For all my life I've been so close" convey the feeling of being lost and not knowing how to move forward, despite being close to a solution or goal.
The singer reflects on their love being always by their side, implying that they have someone who cares for them, yet they seem to be facing some type of rejection as the lyrics say "And I don't know why You don't like to be with me In a sunny day". This rejection adds to their confusion about their situation.
In the chorus, the singer repeats "Don't know why, You don't like to be with me In a sunny day" conveying a sense of sadness and disappointment from the rejection they are facing. Despite that, the repetition of the line "My love was always by my side" shows that the singer still holds onto the love they feel for the other person, and this is likely why they are struggling to move on, leading to their elbow pain.

This video really spoke to an experience I had in my first year of university.
0:00 - 1:09 is a man living his life normally, neither particularly positive or negative emotions in his mind.
1:09 - 1:59 is him encountering a mind expanding substance. After this, he is seen scrutinizing the hills in the distance. This represents his contemplation, not just of life, but the nature of self, and this is where the danger starts. People who suffer this variant of derealization often experience questions like "what is the process that is doing the awareness of my thinking?", and perceive that the self is looking at itself. The key is the "it" in "itself", in which the sense of self becomes depersonalized and begins to be perceived as a mere object, rather than a person.
The bird represents this unbalanced awareness that comes from contemplating just one side of these questions, relying exclusively on drugs to enhance one's intellectual reach without the grounding in meditative concentration and emotional control. He attempts to run back to normality, but loses the race, and begins falling into derealization. His body dissolving represents ego-death.
He wakes up from his drug trip, and is now sober. However, he is still in the grips of derealization, and the perception of the self that he developed on the drugs is now a waking reality. The third eye represents the higher awareness that he is trapped in, and his body being the universe represents his lost sense of boundaries between self and the world. He looks in the mirror, and is baffled by his appearance. People who have derealization sometimes don't recognize their face in the mirror. His actions after this reflect a deeply terrorized man trying to escape a higher form of suffering.
He pulls out the drug that started this mess. Now, the first time, the drug was rainbow before it was applied to the floor, and then it glowed. Now the drug is glowing before being applied. This could symbolize his past experience with the drug, and if to say, "now he knows what to expect". This attempt to re-enter the higher state of consciousness is his courageous attempt to confront the cause of his derealization, and find a way to reconcile this higher perception of reality in such a way that he can still experience, and identify with, ordinary human emotions and perceptions.
His lionesque appearance represents his confidence in his certainty of self. In the end, all of the ideas he had about the nature of self, thought, and feeling all added up back to normality, and he feels empowered by having conquered such an eldritch terror. He takes a drag from a joint, confident in his ability to cruise the higher state. His dissolving represents a more peaceful and enjoyable dissolution of the ego.
The lionesque appearence being a sign of confidence was actually an interpretation offered by a friend, and it started me on the rest of the paragraph,. My original idea was much darker; that he regressed into a more pleasure/pain driven state as a way to escape from his higher consciousness. Alas, that's what ended up happening to me, and while the higher form of suffering no longer troubles me, sometimes I feel like my whole life is a dream that I'm trying to wake up from. >.>

And I don't know where to go
For all my life I've been so close
And I don't know where to go
For all my life I've been so close
And I don't know where to go
For all my life I've been so close
And I don't know where to go
For all my life I've been so close
And I don't know where to go
For all my life I've been so close
My love was always by my side
And I don't know why
You don't like to be with me
In a sunny day
And I don't know why
You don't call me right now
Don't know why
You don't like to be with me
In a sunny day
My love was always by my side
And I don't know why
You don't like to be with me
In a sunny day
And I don't know why
You don't call me right now
Don't know why
You don't like to be with me

Don't know why
You don't like to be with me
In a sunny day
