Clearly it’s about Cookie Monsters obsession with chocolate chip cookies. For real though Danny Carey is a human octopus!!

Cover art for Chocolate Chip Trip lyrics by Tool

I think "chocolate chip trip" is basically the child version of getting high. As a kid you probably craved any form of sugar or in this case a chocolate chip cookie. Though only accessing a cookie through good behavior from your parents it was a rarity. Once you did get your hands on that cookie you would bite into tasting the sweet chocolaty heaven giving you that child high.

Apparently the album is about childhood and growing up, and kids eat chocholate chip cookies. maybe?

Cover art for Chocolate Chip Trip lyrics by Tool

To me it represents the ever quickening fear and confusion of the passing years. From being a child loving chocolate chip cookies to a broken adult who is almost never sober. All the while, a looming sense of impending doom leans over the whole song. In the end, everything slowly fades away, like the consciousness of somebody old and hardened falling asleep for the last time. TLDR It represents the cycle of life. I would also like to note that it's 3:30 in the morning.

My Opinion

The only instrumental song among 7 on the CD version of the album. If they actually connect to the seven stages of life, this would be the one stage in which one is silently tripping, loosing connection. “Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.” This is the elder, slowly fading away.
