Trippin' Out
Trippin' Out: A Journey Through Despair and Self-Reflection
Lyrics
By the time I was twenty five
Reflecting on the age of twenty-five, a significant point in the speaker's life.
I used to be so great and renowned
Recalling a past time when the speaker was highly esteemed and well-known.
Now two years later I am not even greater
Expressing a decline in greatness over the two years that followed the earlier success.
With my head laying on the floor
Describing a moment of despair with the speaker's head metaphorically on the floor.
Silver spoon in hand and nobody's around
Depicting loneliness with a silver spoon in hand and no one around.
I try to hold on but it's my time to go
Accepting the inevitability of departure or change in the speaker's life.
Cus' lately I've been killing myself
Revealing a struggle with self-destructive behavior, possibly addiction or harmful habits.
My lover came to me
Introducing the speaker's lover, a significant character in the narrative.
I'm leaving you she said
Stating the lover's decision to leave the speaker.
And it's two times better to be bold and forget her
Suggesting that it's better for the speaker to be bold and forget the lover.
But my hands are floating on the stove
Describing a distressing situation where the speaker's hands are on a hot stove.
Now I'm trippin' out I see shadows on the wall
Indicating a state of altered consciousness or mental disturbance ("trippin' out").
I turn but they're starting to crawl
Seeing shadows on the wall and perceiving them starting to crawl, possibly symbolizing inner demons or fears.
And in the corner are calling my name
Referring to voices in the corner that call the speaker's name, representing internal struggles.
By the time I was twenty five
Repeating the earlier reflection on being great and renowned at twenty-five.
I used to be so great and renowned
Reiterating the contrast between past and present greatness.
Now two years later I am not even greater
Emphasizing the ongoing decline in the speaker's status over two years.
With my head laying on the floor
Restating the image of the speaker's head on the floor, suggesting continued despair.
I don't wanna die
Expressing a desire to live and a plea for life.
Please
An urgent plea for survival.
I try to hold on but enough is enough
Affirming the struggle to hold on, but acknowledging that enough is enough.
Now take my body and throw it away
An acceptance of fate or a surrender, suggesting a willingness to let go of the body.
