This song gives me a feeling of buoyancy, like a trip or floating. Acid was beginning to play an active role in their music and they began to sing about the experience. Day Tripper is a jargon term for somebody who failed to entirely embrace the hippy existence, for the Beatles they involved the life but kept it concealed and only showed the well turned-out image side of themselves.
