Coined by artist Jerry Cantrell on his sophomore album under the same name, a Degradation Trip is often interpreted as a reverse victory lap. Instead of looking back on what you have done with pride, it is more akin to wallowing in your own regret as a way to punish yourself into doing better in the future.
In the case of Jerry Cantrell, it comes as a looking back at his time in the band Alice In Chains before the tragic death of lead singer Layne Staley. What he would have done different, and what he would have said different, and looking at his own life to reflect on if he is going down the same path.
Guy 1: "Hey man, you alright?"
Guy 2: "Yeah, just kind of reflecting on mistakes. A Degradation Trip if you will."
1) Being Clumsy, losing grip on the ground.
2) Effects that happen to someone on acid, or on a large amount of dextromethorphan (orphan tears).
1) "Why are you tripping over everything?"
2) "oHhhHHH.. iM TRiPPing.. ugHHghhhh..."
Tripping is when you're chasing your friends in a game of tag when one of your shoes accidentally hits a rock while their foot is trying to extend up in the air in a running motion, as we all run. When your friends shoe/foot hits the rock the foot will no longer be able to go up any higher into the air to run, therefore, they will fall as their body is still in a running motion but the motion will not finish. As a result, they fall to the ground, i.e, trip
Note: please keep in mind that when someone says tripping, it may not always mean what is listed above, as tripping is also the ghetto way of saying "i messed up"
