Don't Even Trip Lyrics

I think you're old enough to know it better
But I'm old enough to remember
(Don't even trip)
I won't use that stupid word forever
(Cross your heart and hope to die)

Don't even trip
Don't get too big for your britches
(Don't even trip)
All these bones been jumping out of your closet
(Get out of your closet)
So blasé, don't turn and look the other way
(You wanna be a star) You wanna be a star
You're oh so near yet oh so far
(Don't even trip)

You'll be flyin' south before the winter
On that long, long trip of the sinner
(Don't even trip, don't even trip, don't even trip)
Don't be throwing stones at the mirror
(Look in peace and close your eyes)

Don't even trip
Don't get too big for your breaches
(Don't even trip)
All these bones been jumping out of your closet
(Get out of your closet)
So blasé, don't turn and look the other way
(You gotta have it all) You gotta have it all
You're oh so near yet oh so far

And I know that assholes grow on trees
But I'm here to trim the leaves
And I'm afraid that you're still my friend
And you're just a piece of shit
But I can overlook it today
'Cause you're still my friend

(Don't even trip)
Drop that gun, you ain't my fucking hero
(Don't even trip, don't even trip, don't even trip)
You think it's cool to be a fucking zero?
(Don't even trip, don't even trip, don't even trip)
Can't believe I called you 'mi amigo'
(Take a deep breath and you'll be fine)

Speak up now
And one of you is a hundred loud
When you preach
They'll join you on the roofs and streets
(Like Crystal clear) Crystal clear
I'm hanging like a chandelier
Watching over you
I'll move you from song to tears

And I know that assholes grow on trees
But I'm going to trim the leaves
And I can say that you're still my friend
And you're still a piece of shit
But I can overlook it today
'Cause you're still my friend

And I know that assholes grow on trees
But I'm here to trim the leaves
And I'm afraid, are you still my friend?
And you're still a piece of shit
But I can look the other way
'cause you're still my friend

(Don't even trip)

Awesome song, with a catching chorous

I agree, mint song. Mike is hardcore 24/7

The character had a falling out with his dad (or friend), tries to rationalize what happened and why, and tries to make peace.

the line that's listed here as "daddy you're still my friend" sounds quite clearly to me like "that you're still my friend."

i think the song is from the POV of someone who's been screwed over by a friend and realizes that the person's a complete jerkoff, but is willing to let it slide one last time. there's a warning right there in the song title - don't even trip. you screw up once, even in the smallest little way, and it's all over.

Anyone think this could be directed towards Trey Spruance?

facelift, if that song is directed towards Trey Spruance then it's a complete joke. The lyrics in Peeping Tom are brilliant cause they fit on every listener, plus Mike Patton doesn't really take himself seriously.

Anyway, this song is about old friends and a really big warning towards one of them. The main character realizes the other one is nothing but a fuck and asks himself if they're still friends. Probably yes.

This song has a serious dose of Patton's humor which is damn weird and I totally love it.

I was just thinking that because lately i've been reading on various forums from people talking about rumors surrounding the breakup of Bungle and some are who supposedly close to some of the members. The most common reason that came up was some pretty serious fights between Mike and Trey.

Upon first listen, I immediately thought, "Trey." And what many people forget is that the meanings of songs are usually more specific in the beginning. Or they may stay that way, and the artist himself or herself may alter the "meaning" for the general public. After all, the second person is "still [his] friend." What kind of friend throws another under the bus with a song, especially a tongue in cheek trip hop song?

its most def "that your my friend" and not "daddy your my friend"

i think this song is from the POV of god or at least a spirit that has been with the person he is singing to for a long long time. i think he is trying to give him words of inspiration even though he calls him a piece of shit, he calls him that because he knows what mankind is, pretty shitty at times. but the words of inspiration come from saying "drop that gun you aint my fucking hero, think its cool to be a fuckin zero" cause he wants the subject to be an influence in people's lives but its not the right way to go, and then, "speak up now, and one of you is a hundred loud, when you preach they'll join you on the roofs and streets" he is saying, use your words instead of weapons, and the people will listen to him, as if he was a born leader. i kind of think the long was set up for a person with dilusions of grandeur and what his "voices" in his head are telling him, but this time, those voices might be right.
