The song "Trippy Gum" by Hinds is about a night of wild partying and disregarding the consequences. The narrator enters a bar and drinks gin with people she doesn't know, and asks when the last train is so that she doesn't have to leave yet. She becomes intoxicated and sees an "alien" on the roof, and her face is "sticked to the ground." The lyrics suggest that the narrator is aware of the irresponsible nature of her behavior, as she asks "was I high?" and someone else to "help me" in the final line. The use of the word "trippy" suggests the surreal and disorienting nature of the night, while "gum" may refer to the narrator needing to clean herself up after vomiting in a cab. Overall, the song captures the recklessness and hedonism of a night spent ignoring responsibility and embracing excess.
