Road Trippin'
Red Hot Chili Peppers退 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town
It's time to steal away
Let's go get lost
Anywhere in the U.S.A.
Let's go get lost
Blue you sit so pretty
West of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for
So much as come before those battles lost and won
This life is shining more forever in the sun
Now let us check our heads
And let us check the surf
Staying high and dry's
More trouble than it's worth
In the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for
In Big Sur we take some time to linger on
We three hunky dory's got our snake finger on
Now let us drink the stars
It's time to steal away
Let's go get lost
Right here in the U.S.A
Blue you sit so pretty
West of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for
"Road Trippin" is a song by Red Hot Chili Peppers that talks about a joyful adventure with two favorite allies where they move to new locations within the US. The song describes the freedom of movement with no specific destination and only filled with excitement and anticipation of what's ahead. The longing to escape individual battles and lose themselves to the surreal moments of an adventure in a bond of friendship. The lyrics center around the fact that life is transitory, and moments of pure happiness are worth taking a break from routine to have.
The chorus of the song, "Let's go get lost, anywhere in the U.S.A.," highlights the theme of the road trip being an escape from the mundane and taken up by the momentary pleasures of life. The first verse mentions the two favorite allies having packed their bags with snacks and supplies, creating the adventurous spirit in the journey. The second verse talks of the scenic route that they take, "West of the one," with oceanic beauty sitting pretty with an extraordinary view of the sun shining down on it. Here, the lyrics express a vision so stunning that it can only be explained as "Just a mirror for the sun."
The third verse is the epitome of what the song represents by holding on to joys, temporarily escaping from one's everyday routine, and holding on to the moments of sheer pleasure forever. The verse encourages the need to linger on to moments of beauty, such as Big Sur, where they can check their heads, check the surf, and marvel at the stars. The lyrics reinforce the idea that life is beautifully transitory and to appreciate and create memories with loved ones. The song portrays a bucolic world that even with all its imperfections is perfect the way it is, a world bound by friendship and bond in merriment.
