Henrique Cazes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got a good reason
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
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out

and I found out
Day tripper, day tripper, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Henrique Cazes's "Day Tripper" tell the story of a man who falls for a woman who he refers to as a "day tripper." This woman seems to be someone who is always on the move and not looking for anything too serious. The singer seems to be trying to win her over, but he realizes that she is not interested in anything more than a one night stand. He describes her as a "big teaser" who only takes him halfway there.

The repeated phrase "She was a day tripper, one way ticket, yeah" emphasizes that this woman is only interested in short term fun and is not looking for any kind of commitment. The singer seems to be struggling with accepting this and is attempting to please her, but ultimately realizes that it is not worth his time. The upbeat tempo and catchy melody of the song contrasts with the somewhat melancholic lyrics, creating a bittersweet sound that mirrors the singer's emotions.

Overall, "Day Tripper" is a commentary on the fleeting nature of some relationships and the difficulty in accepting that sometimes people are not looking for anything more than a brief fling.
