Prior to being a recording artist, he was a record store owner and a club DJ at a nightclub in Salt Lake City as a way to make ends meet for him and his wife. After he and his wife moved to San Francisco he landed a job as a A&R man at OM records, where in addition to reviewing demos for the label he also submitted his own material, which would pay off big time for him. In 2001 he went from behind the desk to behind the turntables and the recording studio as an artist in his own right. In 2003 Kaskade released his first album, "It's You It's Me", which was well received by critics.
It would be his follow up, "In The Moment" in 2004, that would put Kaskade on the map. The first single off the set "Steppin' Out" would become a major hit on the Dance Radio Airplay that year as well as a top 10 hit on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. His biggest breakthrough would come the week of May 14, 2005, when his follow up, "Everything," would go all the way to #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
Day Trippin'
Kaskade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My head's spinning
Got me day trippin'
Up all night with you
Got me day trippin'
My head's spinning
Got me day trippin'
Day trippin' (day trippin', day trippin')
4 am, we were going
We were moving 'til the sun came up
6 am, left this morning
Now I can't stop thinking 'bout your love
I got it, I got it bad
I keep on flashing back
Don't even know where I'm at
I need something to get me through
'Til I can be with you
Dreaming, it's all déjà vu
Got me day trippin'
My head's spinning
Got me day trippin'
Up all night with you
Got me day trippin'
My head's spinning
Got me day trippin'
Lose my mind, up all night with you
Day trippin' (day trippin', day trippin')
1 PM, wanna call you
But I know I gotta catch my breath
Four, five, six, is it too soon?
Wanna get you in the dark again
I got it, I got it bad
I keep on flashing back
Don't even know where I'm at
I need something to get me through
'Til I can be with you
Dreaming, it's all déjà vu
Got me day trippin'
My head's spinning
Got me day trippin'
Up all night with you
Got me day trippin'
My head's spinning
Got me day trippin'
Lose my mind, up all night with you
The lyrics of Kaskade and Estelle's song "Day Trippin'" describe the feelings of someone who is completely infatuated with another person. The repetition of "Got me day trippin'" and "My head's spinning" emphasizes the disorienting nature of being consumed by such strong feelings. The verses describing the night spent with the person in question and the inability to stop thinking about them, even during the day, adds to the theme of all-consuming infatuation.
The chorus of the song, with its upbeat tempo and catchy tune, reflects the joyful energy that comes with these intense feelings. The lyrics "Up all night with you" and "Lose my mind, up all night with you" not only emphasize the excitement of the night, but also suggest that the excitement and energy is worth the physical and emotional exhaustion that comes with it.
Overall, "Day Trippin'" is a fun and playful song about the joys and thrills of falling head over heels for someone.
Line by Line Meaning
Got me day trippin'
I am experiencing intense emotions and feeling overwhelmed
My head's spinning
I am feeling dizzy and disorientated
Up all night with you
I have spent the whole night with you
Lose my mind, up all night with you
I am so captivated by being with you that I lose track of time and reality
4 am, we were going
We were actively engaging in something at four in the morning
We were moving 'til the sun came up
We were active until the sunrise
6 am, left this morning
We departed at six in the morning
Now I can't stop thinking 'bout your love
I am constantly thinking about loving you
I got it, I got it bad
I am in a state of intense desire for you
I keep on flashing back
I keep remembering moments with you
Don't even know where I'm at
I am so caught up in the moment that I lose track of my surroundings
I need something to get me through
I need something to help me cope
'Til I can be with you
Until I can be with you again
Dreaming, it's all déjà vu
My dreams are filled with memories of you
1 PM, wanna call you
I want to call you at one in the afternoon
But I know I gotta catch my breath
But I need some time to recover
Four, five, six, is it too soon?
Is it too soon to engage in something with you again at four, five, or six in the morning?
Wanna get you in the dark again
I desire to engage in something with you in the dark again
Day trippin' (day trippin', day trippin')
I am day tripping and experiencing intense emotions repeatedly

Good grief I love this one. Estelle's voice with Kaskade's old-school sound... it makes me happy to listen to.

I really love this song, is my favorite of the album, it reminds me a lot of kaskade's old style, also the voice of Estelle is nice as in all her songs. For me this whole album is excellent, sadly some people will hate on this just because is not edm. Anyways i'm really in love with this album and i hope to see kaskade making more of this, because is great to see how he is recovering some elements of his old style.
