Stop Tripping Out
Louie Short Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s not a crime to think it
But it’s not right
And it’ll never be right
No it’s not right to say that
Don’t make it into a thing Nobody want’s to hurt you It’s not real
And it’ll never be real
At least not really
If I knew what to tell you
I would have said it by now
Let’s get one thing right
They don’t all care about you
But they’re alright
It’ll be alright
And they wanna hang out
Well alright
Don’t get me wrong when I say
That I’d fuckin' die without you
Cause I’ll still die
But at your side
I hope that’s true
Don’t trip over it
If I knew what to tell you
I would have said it by now
The song "Stop Tripping Out" by Louie Short delves into the struggles of overthinking and insecurity in relationships. The lyrics suggest that while it's natural to have thoughts and doubts, it's not healthy to obsess over them or let them consume one's life. The opening lines emphasize that it's not a crime to have these thoughts, but it's important to recognize that they are not reality and will never lead to a positive outcome. The phrase "don't make it into a thing" suggests that it's easy to blow things out of proportion and create unnecessary problems.
The chorus of the song conveys a message of reassurance and hope. It implies that despite the doubts and uncertainties, it will be alright in the end. The line "They don't all care about you, but they're alright" may indicate that not everyone will prioritize or understand one's concerns, but it doesn't mean they don't appreciate or value the relationship. The lyrics also express a deep attachment and dependence on the other person, acknowledging that life might be difficult without them, but ultimately, both individuals will continue to exist, maybe even at each other's side.
The repeated phrase "Don't trip over it, If I knew what to tell you, I would have said it by now" highlights the struggle to find the right words to alleviate the other person's worries. It implies a desire to provide comfort and support, but acknowledges the difficulty of finding the perfect response. This song captures the emotional complexity of navigating relationships, particularly when grappling with internal doubts and fears.
