The Trip
Still Corners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pack your bags, hit the open road
Our hearts just won't die
It's the trip, keeps us alive
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
So many miles
So many miles
So many miles
Away
They're following some dance of light
Tearing into the night
Watching you fall asleep
The sweetest dove in a dream
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
So many miles
So many miles
So many miles
Away
The song "The Trip" by Still Corners is a powerful anthem of adventure and escapism. The lyrics open with an invitation to hit the open road, suggesting a desire to escape and explore the world. The words "our hearts just won't die" suggest that the need for adventure and new experiences is crucial for the characters in the song to feel alive. These opening lines set a tone of freedom and liberation, which runs through the entire song.
The lyrics that follow describe the exhilaration of being on the road, with "so many miles, so many miles, so many miles away" suggesting the vastness of the world and the endless possibilities that come with travelling. The lines "they're following some dance of light, tearing into the night" evoke images of driving late into the night, chasing the lights of passing cars, and feeling a sense of invincibility and excitement. The final lines of the song describe watching someone fall asleep, which could be interpreted as a moment of calm or reflection after an intense journey.
Overall, "The Trip" is a song about the thrill of travel and the way it can bring a sense of freedom and joy to our lives. The lyrics capture the excitement and wonder of exploring the world, and the idea that embarking on a new adventure can be a way of escaping the everyday and finding a sense of purpose and excitement.

This is not an official video, its a fan-made video and it was edited by me (Wemerson Ferreira). Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷
@toddswartz3510
Its nicely done, so are you or someone you know shown in this video? Or is it just random footage....this song by the way kicks ass!!! Takes you away. Really is a trip!
@SummerFossils
@@toddswartz3510 it's a just a random footage that I found on YouTube.
@happyjack3573
Nicely done seeing as band members are from Britain and America and you have British and American films going on here. I believe the British one is a film called Kes, which is rather a sad film. Well done on this video, i stumbled upon this by chance. Great song great video

@@SummerFossils where did you find the footage of the four teenagers at the campground at the end? would love a link if possible, been looking for it for a long time!

My dad died 7 years ago (aged 83), and I'm afraid my mum is about dying now (90). They used to film us when we spent some vacations somewhere in France, in the 60's & 70's. That's what I think about when I watch this vid. That music fits our vids beautifully. Thank you for the music. Thanks to my parents for the fine trip we made together
