Eraserheads - Trip To Jerusalem

Music video by Eraserheads performing Trip To Jerusalem. (C) 1996 BMG Records Pilipinas Inc.

[@Armon1990]

This is my favorite Eraserheads song simply because it's the most mysterious. The wordplay is beautiful but the meaning is deeply hidden. The best theory that I came up with though is the fact that this song is an allegory for the most notorious ongoing territorial dispute in human history - Ownership of the Holy Land... Palestine (If you're not familiar with it, there are tons of resources on the internet). Long story short, Palestine was divided between 2 disputing parties - The State of Palestine (mostly Islamic) and The State of Israel (mostly Jewish). Anyway, the best parts of the song that somehow suggest this are: "Sometimes you win Sometimes you fail" - The endless Palestinian-Israeli conflict "Choose holy blood Choose holy grail" - A reference to the most famous Jewish-born Palestinian in human history (si Jesus, malamang). "And now at last Just two of us" - Self-Explanatory "Only one chair Who will sit there? Is it the king? Or is it the heir? It never ends" - I get goosebumps in this part. Especially due to the fact that what happened to the disputing parties is EXACTLY what happens to the last 2 contestants in a game of Musical Chairs. The suspiciously RED chair in the music video also possibly represents the land that they're fighting for... albeit, bloodstained. Crazy huh? We may never know what it really means... but that's the most fun part of listening to Eraserheads songs. They tend to have more depth than you would initially think.

Open your door Dance on the floor Hey what's your name? Let's play a game Let it begin Your head will spin I am the champ Come see me stomp It never ends It never ends It never ends Oh tell me do you wanna fly? Fly high way up in the sky Or maybe you don't even have to try All you have to do is follow that star But when the star doesn't shine You won't be able to find your way And the wiseman will still remain The king of trip to Jerusalem Sometimes you win Sometimes you fail Choose holy blood Lose holy grail Just when you think you've gone so far You'll find yourself, back to the start It never ends It never ends It never ends Oh tell me do you wanna fly? Fly high way up in the sky Or maybe you don't even have to try All you have to do is follow that star But when the star doesn't shine You won't be able to find your way There won't be any other chance to be The king of trip to Jerusalem The music plays like a heavenly choir Lovely chairs are there if you get tired Don't listen to a word he says He's just trying to distract you Do your own thing Stick with what you are Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah Open your door Dance on the floor And now at last, just two of us Only one chair, who will sit there? Is it the king? or is it the heir? It never ends It never ends It never ends Oh tell me do you wanna fly? Fly high way up in the sky Or maybe you don't even have to try All you have to do is follow that star But when the star doesn't shine You won't be able to find your way The only thing that we can do is pray On a trip to Jerusalem On a trip to Jerusalem On a trip to Jerusalem On a trip to Jerusalem

Marcus' guitar Fender Jag-Stang was totally a piece of the 90s as it was designed by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain as a mix of two Fender Models : Mustang and the Jaguar. It was reissued in 2021 as part of the celebration of Nirvana's Nevermind 30th anniversary of its release. The 2021 reissue was used by Marcus in the 2022 concert.
