On That Trip
Silent Descent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My boat's a normal sight, spent more than usual, taken care.
Walk to the door and spin a story for the price,
Unexpecting of who was about to lay before our eyes.
You walk through us knowing what we all think; 'Do you come here often?'
But it's you that sits and starts talking to me, Oh what I'd do to you!
See, you, so beautiful elusive.
When the glass is gone and my head's just filled with air,
Why do I relent for you?
Eyes start to wander, but that's the original goal.
Walk to another guy, attempt to light his soul.
Look back over and grin to reassure,
I'm tempted to grin right over and force you to the floor.
Pressing your hips into mine I pour on my hands,
Oh how I'd love to laminate your eyes.
Show me a good time but you're surrounded by fans,
Only thirty Euro.
Because you taste so good. Let me in, I will not be silenced.
The lyrics of Silent Descent's "On That Trip" describe a night out where the singer is drawn to an elusive and beautiful stranger who catches their eye as they walk into a venue. The song opens with a sense of expectation as they've prepared for this night out and are ready to have a good time. The singer then becomes fixated on the stranger, drawn in by their beauty, but also their confidence as they move through the venue with ease, instantly charming everyone around them. As the night progresses, the singer becomes increasingly focused on winning the stranger's attention, even as they move on to other people.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of desperation and obsession that builds in the singer's mind. They want this beautiful stranger to themselves, but they don't know how to make it happen. They try to charm them, follow them around the room, and even imagine pressing their hips into theirs. The reference to spending "thirty Euro" implies that the exchange is superficial, further emphasizing the singer's desire but lack of connection with the stranger.
Overall, "On That Trip" is a song about the intense emotions of a chance encounter with a stranger in a crowd. It captures the sense of being drawn in by someone's confidence and beauty, while also acknowledging the challenge of making a connection in a noisy and crowded environment. The singer's obsession with the stranger is both intense and fleeting, and the song leaves the listener to wonder if anything will come of this chance encounter.
Line by Line Meaning
It's a Thursday night and we've got brushes to spare.
We have enough resources to enjoy the night
My boat's a normal sight, spent more than usual, taken care.
I have made necessary preparations for tonight
Walk to the door and spin a story for the price,
We try to impress to get accepted or gain access to the place
Unexpecting of who was about to lay before our eyes.
We didn't expect to meet someone as interesting as you
You walk through us knowing what we all think; 'Do you come here often?'
You're aware of our curiosity towards you
But it's you that sits and starts talking to me, Oh what I'd do to you!
I am captivated by you and imagine doing things to you
See, you, so beautiful elusive.
You're elusive but very beautiful
I'll have you before the night is out.
I'm determined to make you mine by the end of the night
When the glass is gone and my head's just filled with air,
When I'm drunk and my senses are impaired
Why do I relent for you?
Why am I drawn to you despite my initial reluctance?
Eyes start to wander, but that's the original goal.
I look at other people but my intention is to find someone to hook up with
Walk to another guy, attempt to light his soul.
I try to flirt with another guy to make you jealous
Look back over and grin to reassure,
I flash a smile to make you believe that I'm still interested in you
I'm tempted to grin right over and force you to the floor.
I'm filled with desire and want to be intimate with you immediately
Pressing your hips into mine I pour on my hands,
I'm touching you sensually and intimately
Oh how I'd love to laminate your eyes.
I want to make you feel intoxicated and overwhelmed with pleasure
Show me a good time but you're surrounded by fans,
Even though you have many admirers, I want to make sure you have a good time with me
Only thirty Euro.
You're not interested in me even though I'm offering you money
Because you taste so good. Let me in, I will not be silenced.
I'm attracted to you and I will do whatever it takes to be with you
