Taking a Walk

Trippie Redd's song 'Taking a Walk' delves into themes of despair, betrayal, and the constant battle with inner demons. The repeated mention of 'suicide doors' serves as a metaphor for the artist's feelings of being on the edge, both literally and figuratively. Suicide doors, which open backward, symbolize a sense of danger and the unconventional, mirroring Trippie Redd's tumultuous mental state. The line 'So they think I wanna die, yeah' suggests that the artist feels misunderstood and judged by those around him, who misinterpret his actions and lifestyle as a death wish.

The lyrics also touch on themes of betrayal and mistrust, particularly in relationships. The phrase 'rule number one, never trust no bitch' reflects a hardened attitude towards trust, likely stemming from past experiences of being let down or deceived. This sentiment is further emphasized by the imagery of leaving a note on the suicide door, a stark and dramatic gesture that underscores the depth of his emotional turmoil. The juxtaposition of wealth and despair is evident in lines like 'Bet my coffin would be nice, yeah / Stood that bitch up with some ice, yeah,' where material success is contrasted with a morbid outlook on life.

Additionally, the song highlights the artist's coping mechanisms, such as using money ('throwing bands') and substances ('get this green then smoke this green') to numb the pain. These actions, however, seem to offer only temporary relief, as the underlying issues of feeling unwanted and played with persist. The repetition of 'The coupe doors are suicide' throughout the song reinforces the cyclical nature of his struggles, suggesting that despite his efforts to escape, he remains trapped in a loop of despair and mistrust.
