Trampoline
Highland Peak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jumpin' on a trampoline
Flippin′ in the air
I never land, just float there
As I'm lookin' up
Suddenly the sky erupts
Flames alight the trees
Now they′re right upon me
Wait, if I'm on fire
How am I so deep in love
When I dream of dying?
I never feel so loved
I′ve been having dreams (oh)
Splashin' in a summer stream (oh)
Trip and I fall in (oh)
I wanted it to happen (oh, oh)
My body turns to ice (oh)
Crushin′ weight of paradise (oh)
Solid block of gold (oh)
Lying in the cold
I feel right at home, oh
Wait, if I'm on fire
How am I so deep in love
When I dream of dying?
I never feel so loved
Wait, if I′m on fire
How am I so deep in love?
When I dream of dying
I never feel so loved
Wait, if I'm on fire
How am I so deep in love
When I dream of dying?
I never feel so loved
Wait, if I'm on fire
How am I so deep in love
When I dream of dying?
I never feel so loved
The lyrics of Highland Peak's "Trampoline" depict a surreal and dreamlike experience. The singer describes a series of dreams where they are jumping on a trampoline, flipping in the air, and never landing. Suddenly, the sky erupts into flames, and the fire spreads to the trees and falling leaves. Despite being engulfed in flames, the singer feels a deep sense of love that they have never felt before, even as they dream of dying.
In the second verse, the singer has another dream where they are splashing in a summer stream and trip and fall in. They are then crushed by the weight of paradise, turning their body to ice and becoming a solid block of gold lying in the cold. Despite the strange and surreal nature of the dreams, the singer feels right at home.
Overall, the lyrics of "Trampoline" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the ups and downs of life. The jumping on the trampoline represents the joys and highs, while the fires and crushing weight represent the difficulties and lows. Despite the challenges, the singer feels a deep sense of love and resilience, even in the face of death.
