Unlocking the Bulletproof Heart

A marathon of love gone haywire, revelations of a love-intoxicated mind, the art of apologizing: when trips turn to falls, the hidden tapestry: weaving through love’s complex patterns.

And that’s a whole lotta love, ain’t tryna waste it Like we be runnin’ a mile to never make it That’s just too bitter for worse, don’t wanna taste it That’s just too bitter for worse, don’t wanna face it

But I think that I’m done trippin’, I’m trip-trippin’ I’ve been sippin’, that’s how I control This feelin’, you keep givin’ You keep on hittin’ it ooh, oh Maybe it’s your love, it’s too good to be true Baby boy, your love, got me trippin’ on you You know your love is big enough, make me trip up on you Yeah, it’s big enough, got me trippin’ on you, trip-trippin’ on you

My bad, my bad for, trippin’ on you (trippin’ on you) My bad, my bad for, trippin’ on you (trippin’ on you)

Boy, you know we cool when I ain’t waitin’ But I act a fool when I don’t get it And I’m steady bruisin’ just to save this But I tripped on your love, now I’m addicted

That’s some kind of love, baby (drip, drip) That’s the type of love, make me (trip, trip, trippin’ on you) It’s big enough, make me (drip, drip) It’s big enough, got me (trip, trip, trippin’ on you)

I’m done trippin’, I’m trip-trippin’ I’ve been sippin’, that’s how I control This feelin’, you keep givin’ You keep on hittin’ it ooh, oh Maybe it’s your love, it’s too good to be true Baby boy, your love, got me trippin’ on you You know your love is big enough, make me trip up on you Yeah, it’s big enough, got me trippin’ on you, trip-trippin’ on you

Full Lyrics

Ella Mai’s silken-voiced confession in ‘Trip’ treads the delicate lines of vulnerability and self-awareness as she delves into the intoxicating, often treacherous, waters of love. The song, a candid exploration of love’s ability to disarm our defenses, speaks volumes about the contemporary love experience—where the fear of getting hurt often battles with the yearning to dive deep into emotional connection.

Through her sultry delivery and eloquent lyrics, Mai navigates the complexities of admitting faults, the pain of causing hurt to someone close, and the sublime yet startling sensation of being so entrenched in love that it causes one to metaphorically ‘trip’. Let’s unspool the tapestry of ‘Trip’, understanding its layers and finding out what makes it resonate with listeners around the globe.

The song opens with a plea for emotional safety, a profound admittance from Mai that love can be a battlefield where one must protect not just their heart but also the heart of the one they love. This imagery of dodging bullets and avoiding bloodshed conveys a message far deeper than the surface-level romantic snags—Mai is attuned to the weight loving someone carries and the instinct to safeguard against potential heartache.

These lines aren’t just poetic musings; they’re echoes of a generation wary of vulnerability. Mai encapsulates a modern dilemma: the struggle to maintain emotional armor, all while craving an authentic connection that could just as easily lead to emotional injury.

Mai doesn’t shy away from admitting that love can feel like ‘runnin’ a mile to never make it,’ underscoring a sentiment familiar to many— the exhausting pursuit of an ideal relationship that seems unattainable. There’s a palpable frustration woven into these words, a recognition of the effort that love demands and the fear of whether it’s ultimately futile.

Here, the song strikes a chord with anyone who’s ever experienced the paradox of love where dedication and effort do not always lead to the desired outcome. Mai captures the emotional fatigue that accompanies such a journey, painting a picture of a race where the finish line keeps moving.

The intoxication theme runs throughout ‘Trip,’ with Mai using ‘sippin” as a metaphor for indulging in the overwhelming effect of her partner’s love. It’s a conscious admission that the headiness of love sometimes requires a form of control or moderation. The intoxication of love is a trope as old as time, but Mai brings fresh perspective, acknowledging that too much of this potent emotional cocktail requires some level of temperance.

This metaphor extends beyond the lyrics into the very structure of the music—its smooth R&B rhythms serving as both the cause of and antidote to the ‘trip.’ Mai’s voice, the melodic ‘sip,’ renders the listener euphoric, simulating the very sensation she’s depicting.

In what can be described as the chorus’ plea, ‘My bad, my bad for, trippin’ on you’ resonates as an earnest apology not just for the mistakes made but also for the overindulgence in the overwhelming nature of a passionate love. In a culture that struggles with accountability, Mai’s straightforwardness offers a refreshing look at taking responsibility for one’s emotional missteps.

Moreover, it signals a deeper understanding that, in love, even the most innocent stumbles can cause pain. The repeated lyrics serve as a mea culpa that is both catchy and cathartic, encapsulating the transformative power of owning one’s actions in love.

Beneath the recurring motifs of sipping and tripping lays a hidden tapestry that is the song’s foundation. ‘Trip’ is not just about the high from the love’s intoxication or the mess that ensues; it’s about navigating complexities. Each verse is threaded with Ella Mai’s self-awareness and introspection, an examination of how a deep connection can dually be a source of elation and a cause for caution.

It’s this undercurrent of emotional intelligence that elevates ‘Trip’ from a mere love song to a relatable narrative of contemporary romance. It charts the journey of acknowledging one’s limitations, recognizing the risk inherent in letting someone close, and ultimately finding a balance between self-preservation and the embrace of love’s beautiful chaos.

Meaning of Trip by Ella Mai

"Trip" by Ella Mai is a song about being hesitant to fully invest in a relationship because of past hurt and the fear of getting hurt again. The artist expresses this through lyrics like "I put my feelings on safety, so I don't go shootin' where your heart be" and "That's just too bitter for worse, don't wanna taste it, that's just too bitter for worse, don't wanna face it".

The chorus reveals that the artist is torn between wanting to let go and allow herself to fall in love and being afraid to get hurt again, as seen in the lyrics "Maybe it's your love, it's too good to be true, baby boy, your love, got me trippin' on you, you know your love is big enough, make me trip up on you".

The post-chorus is an admission of fault and an apology for overreacting and misinterpreting the partner's actions. The song's overall message is about the push and pull of love and fully committing oneself while dealing with the fear and potential pain of heartbreak.

British R&B singer Ella Mai is back with another hit from her upcoming debut album. Her single “Boo’d Up” served as one of the top songs of the summer and tied for the longest-running No. 1 among songs by women on the  R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay  chart. Starting next month, Mai will open for Bruno Mars on his 24K Magic World Tour.

“Trip” features a smooth beat as Mai sings about how she’s through with getting tripped up over a guy whose love seems too good to be true. The recently released music video is visually stunning, with deep blues and purples that match the melancholy tone of the lyrics. 

Ella Mai’s eponymous debut album is set to release on Oct. 12.

Trip lyrics, 1 top rated.

A song about a woman trying not to fall in love but can’t help falling

2 TOP RATED

Shes gotten her feelings involved in what was supposed to only be a sexual situation! The sex is amazing and she admits she was wrong when she got her heart involved. Her bad! It's "big enough" and she acts "a fool" when she dont get it... trippin. That feelin he keeps givin...he keeps hitting it!

It sounds like the guy is really into the girl but the girl isn’t as into the guy — but she doesn’t want to tell him that and be responsible for making him bleed. The guy is offering to sacrifice himself for her but she never asked him to and she doesn’t want want to be blamed or for him to accuse her of hurting him, when he’s kind of doing it to himself. And she wants to let him go and tell him to move on, but she sees how good his love is and she keeps tripping on it because it’s so big and she can’t really get away from it. She starts getting addicted to all the attention he gives her, so when he’s not available, she gets impatient and acts like a fool, maybe throwing a tantrum, and they get in a fight. At the same time, the guy is getting bitter about her not loving him back and she’s starting to resent his love because he’s using it against her. So she sarcastically apologizes and says, “My bad.” She doesn’t want to face it anymore or be held responsible for not giving as much as he gives. She’s been sipping alcohol to deal with his bitterness and expectations of her, but now she’s finally decided to stop tripping on him and quit going back to his love and using him. She says they tried but can’t make it, and she doesn’t want him to waste his love on her when she can’t fully appreciate it.

Girls usually fall in love fir a guy who fucked them hard edoecislly for first time..#vergin coz sex for women is all about that stays in her head regardless of what ever a guy could have or be

Fallen for someone but being pushed away at the end....hence..trip..tripped...

First follow me on Instagram @bust_it4_bands She tripping... cause she getting the shit fucked outta her and she don’t know how to act.. whoever she fucking dick is big enough to have her tripping over it

Being head of heels for a guy who has you tripping over him (emotional and sexual attraction).

She has to deal with the guy falling in love with her even after she hid her feelings and tried to prevent it.

She doesn’t know how to handle a love so real and authentic so sometimes she’s Mia interpreted him and made mistakes in trippin so now she’s gonna fall back and just embrace the love that’s “too good to be true”

Tripping over a guy in heels

In love with a man

Being in heels and in love with a guy
