The Trap is a song written by Zubin Sedghi. The song was originally known as The Gap and debuted as The Trap at Great Scott in Allston, MA on March 3rd 2010, the first show of their tour with Jukebox The Ghost and Skybox.
Song Meanings
When asked in a email in 2021, Zubin wrote back "I wrote it thinking about the natural vs digital world (and the ubiquity and inevitability of technology) and how it leaves so much to be desired and also thinking about string theory and generally how science also tends to fall short with regard to what it feels like exist."
Trivia
- This was the first song Zubin wrote that Tally Hall performed.
Lyrics
Whispered leaves on swaying trees & Mysteries define Summer nights of endless light Remind us of the line that's Yours & Mine Thoughts of green & breezes mean I'm growing from a stem Missing dirt on my T-shirt You'll move a little closer but the moving isn't over if it's Them & you & me Stringing electricity & the rest of it is waiting under When it overflows Taking us where no one knows We remember when we fell into the trap Midnight air is unprepared for Thoughts we would condemn Silence of the stars above In any other weather We would try to stay together but it's Them & you & me Stringing electricity & the rest of it is waiting under When it overflows Taking us where no one knows We remember when we fell into the trap Mother & Fathers without Will doubt Brother to brother another Hold out Imagine a world if the numbers would take some time out Me without you & you without I want to break out of this abstracting pattern of layers but it's On
The Gap Lyrics
Whispered leaves on swaying trees And mysteries suggest Summer nights of endless light Remembering the black The white and past Thoughts of green and breezes mean I'm growing from a stem Finding dirt on our T-shirts You'll move a little closer, but the moving isn't over and its Them and you and me, stringing electricity Wanting more than wishing for the past Feelings overflow, keeping on where no one knows Mostly it's moving too fast Midnight air is unprepared for Thoughts we would condemn Missing love and stars above in Any other weather we would try to stay together but its Them and you and me, stringing electricity Wanting more than wishing for the past Feelings overflow, keeping on where no one knows Mostly it's moving too fast Losing myself digitally Losing myself digitally, resurge for everything that's Them and you and me, stringing electricity Wanting more than falling for the trap Feelings overflow, keeping on where no one knows Mostly it's moving too quickly improving the gap
