Trip The Darkness Lyrics

What a day...
I can barely keep my eyes wide open.
I don't wanna see straight.
What a day...
Feels like my breath is heavy again,
And I'm totally faded!

Come to me,
Come to me...
I am waiting for you...
Come to me,
I can't wait!

Follow me, follow me!
As I trip the darkness,
One more time!
Follow me, follow me!
I awake from madness,
Just in time!

What a day...
Seconds, minutes and hours spill over.
There's no time here in space,
What a day...
I see beauty in everything,
But the world is still fading away!

What a day...
I can barely keep my eyes wide open...
I don't wanna see straight,
What a day…
Seconds, minutes and hours spill over,
There's no time here in space!

Come to me, come to me,
Come to me...
Come to me, Come to me...
Come to me, Come to me...
I am waiting for you!!!

Follow me, follow me!
As I trip the darkness,
One more time!
Follow me, follow me!
I awake from madness,
Just in time!
Just in time…
(Just in time!!!)
I awake from madness,
One more time!!!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Pretty.

To me, this song is about a person who loves the effects of LSD but hates being addicted to it. This person regularly gets high on the substance (i.e. tripping the darkness) to avoid the pressures of life, but then always cuts himself short for fear of what might happen if he stays too long on the substance (i.e. awakening from madness just in time). Thus, the first and second stanzas describe this person being weary of life, and the chorus describes how the person is tempted into taking hallucinogens by his addiction, only to realize what he's doing and stop himself.

I used to play this back in my drinking days (6 months ago) when I used to get blitzed to forget about this shitty world. I knew the crap would still be there when I came out of it, but just getting away for a few hours seemed great. $5k and 6 months probation later, I'm rethinking my choices!
