the term "tap that like a maple tree" means that you want to "tap that" (slap that, touch that, get that...etc) as you would tap a maple tree for syrup (goodness). used to express desire towards a person, place, thing, goat...etc.
((an attractive person walks by))
you say to yourself, your friend, or the lonely-looking street cone, "damn, i wanna tap that like a maple tree!!"
in a state of confusion and/or purposelessess that aids your emotions and/or current situation, some say it helps you see the path. others may prefer to live looking at the short term as their long term situation is bleak/dire
