The Future Relics have officially dropped the “I’m Trippin’” music video, and it is more than a performance piece. It is a controlled descent into perception, pressure, gravity, and release.

Filmed in Calgary and brought to life inside Bow Valley College’s production studios, I’m Trippin’ captures the tension at the heart of the song itself: chaos pulling outward, gravity pulling back.

If you are searching for I’m Trippin’, Im Trippin, The Future Relics, or Calgary music video, this release marks a defining moment for the band.

The Concept Behind “I’m Trippin’”

At its core, I’m Trippin’ is about altered states. Not just chemically induced, but emotionally and culturally induced. The lyrics speak to overstimulation, shifting humanity, and the internal battle between losing control and staying grounded.

“These hallucinogenic properties are all the things that bother me and I'm about to lose control - But gravity is casually and constantly just grounding me back to where I was before”

That duality drives the video’s creative direction.

The visuals lean into psychedelic lighting, depth, and saturation. The performance stays tight and intentional. It is not randomness. It is tension.

Filmed in Calgary at Bow Valley College

The music video was shot at Bow Valley College in Calgary, Alberta, using a full studio lighting setup and professional production environment.

Key elements of the production included:

Vivid, immersive lighting design
A large cast and crew
Studio controlled performance sequences
High contrast visual styling

This was not a DIY basement shoot. It was a deliberate production designed to match the scale of the sound.

The Calgary creative scene continues to grow, and this project demonstrates what is possible when local musicians leverage professional facilities and collaborative talent.

The Sound of The Future Relics

The Future Relics blend psychedelic rock textures with layered melodies and driving rhythm sections. “I’m Trippin’” expands that sound into something more cinematic.

The line:

“A multitude of melodies is breaking free inside of me, traveling through space and time”

is not metaphorical in the arrangement. The song builds in waves, stacking melodic layers and rhythmic intensity to simulate that internal expansion.

Then comes the hook:

“Oooo ya I’m tripping right down the rabbit hole”

It is catchy. It is hypnotic. It anchors the song while everything else spirals.

Themes: Chaos, Control, and Cultural Shift

The second verse shifts from personal experience to collective tension:

“Humanity is passively and aggressively just changing the wave that builds the tide”

This is where the song stops being abstract and becomes commentary. The video mirrors this escalation through lighting shifts and performance intensity.

The message is not escapism. It is awareness. The trip is not avoidance. It is confrontation.
