Tripping Along
Orbiting and Ripping: Desires Amid Chaos
Lyrics
We were tripping tripping tripping tripping tripping along
We were moving along in a carefree manner, possibly in a state of confusion or excitement.
While you're orbiting, might I?
As you revolve around, may I?
While you're orbiting, might I?
Repetition emphasizing the request to be involved while someone is orbiting.
Lick you sticky sticky sticky sticky sticky and sweep
Metaphorical language, possibly suggesting intimacy or affection.
They're all turning a blind eye
Others are ignoring or disregarding something important.
They're all turning a blind eye
Reinforcement of the idea that people are turning a blind eye.
But oh what I'd do just to lie with you die in your arms
Expressing a strong desire to be close to someone, even to the point of death.
What wouldn't I give just to live with that sense of alarm?
Expressing a willingness to make sacrifices for the intensity of a relationship.
But your relatives gathered all clamber about for your mind
Family members are seeking control over the person's thoughts.
And they're tearing and swearing to leave you all naked and blind
Family opposition is harsh and intends to leave the person vulnerable.
So we keep a-ripping ripping ripping ripping rips in the sheets
Continuing the metaphor, causing damage or disruption in the relationship.
'Till it's all coming undone
Things are unraveling or falling apart.
'Till it's all coming undone
Reinforcement of the idea that everything is unraveling.
And we're drippy drippy drippy drippy, what messes are we?
Describing a messy and uncertain situation.
And I'm due for a line out
Anticipation or expectation of a pause or break.
And I'm due for a light out
Expectation of a moment of darkness or cessation.
But just as I'm cusping on slumber and dumbing my eyes
About to fall asleep, and suddenly something strange or unexpected occurs.
What spin-twisting vision comes listing and jelly alike?
Describing a surreal or distorted vision that is both confusing and fluid.
And bothering toddles all over this beautiful light
Small disturbances or troubles across the beautiful expanse of life.
This fickle young sister's away in the dimming of night
A reference to a fickle and elusive sibling disappearing in the night.
La de da de da de da da da
Repetitive nonsensical sounds, possibly symbolizing confusion or chaos.
