The Trip
The LOVE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lately life’s been hazy, nothing from my wish list
Thinking every single lady wants my digits
Thinking I’m like 8 feet standing over midgets
But hey, I’m still trying to fit in
I’m chemically imbalanced like my mind can't stand on toe-tips
Magnifying every time the thing that is just isn’t
Suddenly I’m back to basics worrying 'bout my image
Worrying 'bout my image
Worrying 'bout my image
Look
Imagine you spent years and years trying to love yourself
And someone comes along, invalidates the trust you felt
Questioning just what my purpose is
Thought I figured it out, still feeling worthless
But just the other day I’m feeling great like I’m the king
Serotonin rushin when I hit the numbing stick
How was I so stupid thinking I was something when
Nothing really matters only thing that’s comforting
All the time she's wasting chasing this here sadist
Had to wait for her to break and realize I’m not the guy
Realize I'm not the guy
Realize I'm not the guy
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me (Aye)
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
And it’s so dark inside my head I want it bright again
Feeling dull and so alone cuz I’m in light of friends
They just flow, they’re having fun and I just watch and laugh
From a distance seems like life is just a running gag
(Running gag)
Can’t sleep, crack of light under the door
So many feelings my mind just can’t ignore
And even though I try to stay high, I hit the floor
Nothing in my life is worth fighting for anymore
Will it last forever?
I sleep alone with terrors
The burn I’m living with was simmering
Like cinnamon and dinner mints
I'm burning quick, the L was thin
Hit a lick and plead the fifth
Cop a deal and eat the meal
And push the button hit reset
Push the button hit r
Quick fix and heat would let up
Throw chips and beat the dealer
Hoping baby we could chill and maybe even freak together
Roped in and she could feel that we aint meant to be forever
But heat defeats the lesson
But she won’t be offensive
And evil's bringing a sequel if he gets jealous
All the time she's wasting chasing this here sadist
Had to wait for her to break and realize I’m not the guy
Realize I'm not the guy
Realize I'm not the guy
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me (Aye)
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call
"The Trip" by The LOVE explores themes of self-doubt, insecurity, and the search for validation. The lyrics reflect the singer's inner turmoil and their constant struggle to fit in and feel accepted. They express feelings of stress and confusion, as well as a distorted perception of reality. The singer questions their purpose and grapples with a sense of worthlessness despite their efforts to love themselves. The lyrics also touch on the fleeting moments of happiness, when the singer feels a surge of confidence and exhilaration, only to be brought back down by their own negative thoughts.

It delves into the internal battles of feeling like an outsider, craving connection, and constantly questioning one's self-worth. The lyrics highlight the singer's self-destructive tendencies, seeking solace in substances and temporary highs to escape the darkness inside their head.
The repetitive chorus, "Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me," signifies the longing for external validation and the desire for someone to see their worth. The singer yearns for a person who can appreciate them for who they are and break the cycle of self-doubt they find themselves trapped in.
Overall, "The Trip" delves deep into the complexities of mental health, self-image, and the search for acceptance. It exposes the vulnerability and fragility of the human psyche, while also reflecting the universal longing for connection and understanding.

Look
Listen
Imagine you spent years and years trying to love yourself
Envision the experience of dedicating numerous years to cultivating self-love
And someone comes along, invalidates the trust you felt
Then, someone arrives and undermines the confidence and faith you had in yourself
Questioning just what my purpose is
Doubting the meaning or significance of my existence
Thought I figured it out, still feeling worthless
Believed I had solved it, yet still experiencing a sense of worthlessness
But just the other day I’m feeling great like I’m the king
However, recently I felt amazing, as if I were the ruler
Serotonin rushin when I hit the numbing stick
Experiencing a surge of serotonin and relief when I consume a substance to numb my emotions
How was I so stupid thinking I was something when
Why was I foolish to believe I was significant, considering
Nothing really matters only thing that’s comforting
That nothing truly holds importance, except for the one thing that brings solace
All the time she's wasting chasing this here sadist
The entire duration she is squandering pursuing this cruel person
Had to wait for her to break and realize I’m not the guy
I had to wait until she reached her breaking point and acknowledged that I am not the right person for her
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Desiring that she will contact me tomorrow
And it’s so dark inside my head I want it bright again
The state inside my mind is extremely gloomy, and I yearn for brightness once more
Feeling dull and so alone cuz I'm in light of friends
Experiencing a sense of dullness and profound loneliness as I am surrounded by joyful friends
They just flow, they’re having fun and I just watch and laugh
They effortlessly enjoy themselves and have a good time, while I can only observe and pretend to be amused
From a distance seems like life is just a running gag
Observing from afar, life appears to be an ongoing joke or comedic routine
(Running gag)
(Recurring comical element)
Can’t sleep, crack of light under the door
Unable to sleep, a sliver of light seeps in from under the door
So many feelings my mind just can’t ignore
Numerous emotions that my mind cannot disregard
And even though I try to stay high, I hit the floor
Despite attempting to maintain a state of euphoria, I inevitably encounter disappointment or despair
Nothing in my life is worth fighting for anymore
There is nothing left in my life that is deserving of my efforts or struggles
Will it last forever?
Will this situation endure endlessly?
I sleep alone with terrors
I sleep in solitude, plagued by fears
The burn I’m living with was simmering
The pain I am enduring has been boiling slowly
Like cinnamon and dinner mints
Similar to the sensations of cinnamon and mints in a meal
I'm burning quick, the L was thin
I am quickly succumbing to the negative consequences, and my margin for error was slim
Hit a lick and plead the fifth
Successfully commit a theft and invoke my right to remain silent
Cop a deal and eat the meal
Negotiate a favorable agreement and enjoy the rewards
And push the button hit reset
And press the button to start over and reset the situation
Push the button hit r
Press the button to restart
Quick fix and heat would let up
A temporary solution that provides relief from the intensity
Throw chips and beat the dealer
Gamble and try to defeat the person in charge of distributing cards
Hoping baby we could chill and maybe even freak together
Desiring a relaxed and intimate encounter with a romantic partner
Roped in and she could feel that we aint meant to be forever
Ensnared in a relationship where she senses that we are not destined to be together indefinitely
But heat defeats the lesson
However, the intensity of the situation overpowers the learning experience
But she won’t be offensive
But she will not act aggressively or confrontationally
And evil's bringing a sequel if he gets jealous
And if he becomes jealous, wickedness will generate a subsequent event
All the time she's wasting chasing this here sadist
She is spending an excessive amount of time pursuing this person who enjoys causing pain
Had to wait for her to break and realize I’m not the guy
I had to be patient until she reached a point of breaking down and recognized that I am not the right person for her
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Desperately hoping that she will contact me tomorrow
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me (Aye)
Hoping, with a sense of urgency, that she will call me tomorrow
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Yearning for the possibility that she will reach out to me the following day
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Longing for the anticipation of her contacting me in the near future
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Wishing for the chance that she will make a phone call to me soon
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Praying and holding onto hope that she will reach out to me in the upcoming days
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Desiring that in the future, she will pick up the phone and dial my number
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Yearning for the possibility that she will initiate contact with me tomorrow
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Anticipating that she will take the initiative to call me the next day
Hoping that tomorrow she’ll call me
Having hope that she will make a phone call to me in the near future

ちょっとピンクのバラを
花束から抜いて
えりもとにさしてくれる
遊びなれた手つき

ちょっとだけなら恋も
あなたにまかせるわ
今夜だけあなたの

One little night dream
都会はひとときの飾りもの

ほんの夢ですぎてゆく

それでいい
Do love trip
そっと気ままに
グラスまわして夜が
キラキラかがやくわ
誘惑の色うつして
心まどわす
あなたかけひき上手
酔って乱れずに
おしゃべりも甘い声で
あきさせない
One little night dream
都会は恋さえも飾りもの
One little night dream
ほんの夢ですぎてゆく
それでいい
Do love trip
そっと気ままに

“LOVE TRIP"(1982) Takako Mamiya (Singer)
Released: November 25, 1982 by Kitty Records Japan
Lyrics: Etsuko Kisugi
Composition, Arrangement: Kazuo Shiina
Sound produced by: Genji Sawai
(English translation of the rough meaning of the Japanese lyrics)
You pulled a pink rose from its bouquet and placed it under my neck
Your gesture looked like a skillful hand plaything,
I'm willing to let you take over my love life for a little while
Just for tonight, I'll put me through your paces
(CHORUS)
One little night dream
The town's scenery is like a decoration for our time together
One little night dream
Just a few moments, passing like a dream
And I'm fine with that
Do love trip
I wish I could spend a sweet and carefree moment with you
(saxophone solo)
I'm spinning the glass
The lights of the night city glint and shine on it
Reflecting your seductive colors too, you dazzle my heart
You're very good at playing the game of love
Even when you're drunk, you're not even a little disturbed
You never tire me with your sweet voice when you talk.
(CHORUS)
One little night dream
The town's scenery is like a decoration for our time together
One little night dream
Just a few moments, passing like a dream
And I'm fine with that
Do love trip
I wish I could spend a sweet and carefree moment with you

Just discovering the City-Pop genre. This has so much of a late 70's to late 80's urban contemporary feel to it. Loving it!
