•The meaning of the song's title has been debated endlessly by fans. Although the Beatles had tried LSD (or tripped) by the time this song was written, the song is not so much about drugs than dilletantism or being a poser. A "day trip," in British parlance, is a short holiday, so the pun "day tripper," in the LSD context, would refer to someone who works only part-time at being cool or hip.
