Tripping
Navigating Love's Maze: Tripping on Emotions with Eliza Spear
Lyrics
There I was thinking I would never step foot towards the thought of someone new
Reflecting on the hesitation towards opening up to someone new.
I'd get burned in the flame when building up a fire, so I ran from the spark and the fuel
Avoiding potential emotional hurt by staying away from the early stages of a relationship.
My hands locked up to not hold another
Intentionally preventing oneself from holding or connecting with another person.
My ears shut tight to not hear the callers
Choosing to ignore or block out external influences or opinions.
But your words came through in a language that only we knew
Discovering a unique and personal way of communication with a specific individual.
I'm tripping on myself, landing on you
Expressing self-confusion and vulnerability, falling for someone unexpectedly.
I'm not sure what I'm feeling, but I'm thinking it's true
Uncertain about emotions but considering them to be genuine.
Could it be that my eyes were wide in all the wrong places?
Questioning whether attention was given to the right aspects of life.
I'm tripping on my words, landing on luck
Experiencing difficulty in expressing oneself verbally but finding good fortune.
I'm not sure where we're heading, but it's better than what was
Optimistically looking forward to the unknown future in the relationship.
I thought my innocence was lost but I feel like a little kid
Feeling a sense of innocence and rejuvenation, akin to a child.
I vowed all the love I saw around was meant for just others to have
Previously believing that love was meant for others, not oneself.
I'd call past mistakes and times I was to blame as the reason for the darling I lacked
Attributing past mistakes as the reason for a perceived lack of love.
The rings I wore had no one's name but mine
Wearing rings without commitment to others, focusing on oneself.
My nails bit down but I'd swear I was fine
Attempting to appear fine despite internal struggles.
How fitting of you to show as I turned my back
Unexpectedly encountering someone important while turning away.
I'm tripping on myself, landing on you
Repeating the theme of self-confusion and vulnerability in the relationship.
I'm not sure what I'm feeling, but I'm thinking it's true
Uncertain emotions, yet a sense that they are genuine and significant.
Could it be that my eyes were wide in all the wrong places?
Reflecting on past instances where attention might have been misplaced.
I'm tripping on my words, landing on luck
Struggling with verbal expression but finding fortunate outcomes.
I'm not sure where we're heading, but it's better than what was
Optimistically anticipating a better future in the relationship compared to the past.
I thought my innocence was lost but I feel like a little kid
Reconnecting with a sense of innocence and childlike wonder.
I'm tripping on myself, it's you
Reiterating the theme of self-confusion, now specifically directed towards the person of interest.
I'm not sure what I'm feeling, but I know that it's true
Uncertain about emotions but confident in their authenticity.
Could it be that my eyes were wide in all the wrong places?
Questioning whether attention was given to the right aspects of life, similar to earlier lines.
I'm tripping on my words, landing on luck
Struggling with verbal expression but experiencing positive outcomes.
I'm not sure where we're heading, but it's better than what was
Anticipating a better future in the relationship compared to the past.
I thought my innocence was lost but I feel like a little kid
Rediscovering a sense of innocence and childlike feelings.
