The Trip
Inka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is a trip, a game that we play
Looking for meaning, drifting away
Music's my language, and all I can say
Is that you are the one who takes me away
Takes me away, takes me away, takes me away,
Takes me away, takes me away
(Finnish)
Takes me away
(Finnish)
Takes me away
(Finnish)
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Takes me away
The lyrics to Inka's song "The Trip" are a reflection of the abstract and ethereal nature of human consciousness. A seemingly never-ending journey that we're all on, searching for meaning in the world around us, and trying to make sense of our own existence. The lyrics are a reflection of this, as Inka describes the journey as a "trip" - a game that we play. The journey is never-ending and we're constantly searching for answers.
Inka goes on to describe how music is her language, as it is for many people. Music has the power to convey emotions that words often cannot, and it transcends language barriers. Inka expresses that the person she's with is the one who takes her away from the mundane world into a more ethereal and abstract reality. The repetition of "takes me away" in the chorus emphasizes the desire to escape reality and enter into a more surreal world - one that can only be accessed through the power of music.
The song is a beautiful expression of the importance of self-discovery and the role that music plays in our lives. It's an introspective reflection on the abstract nature of human existence and a reminder to enjoy the journey, even if we don't know where it's taking us.
