Trumpets
Jason Derülo feat. 2 Chainz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time that you get undressed
I hear symphonies in my head
I wrote this song just looking at you oh, oh
Yet the drums they swing low
And the trumpets they go
And the trumpets they go
Yeah the trumpets they go
Da da, da ra ra da, da, da
Da, ra, ra, ra, da, da
Da da, da ra ra da, da, da
Da, ra, ra, ra, da, da
They go

Is it weird that I hear
Violins whenever you’re gone
Whenever you’re gone
Is it weird that your ass
Remind me of a Kanye West song?
Kanye West song

Is it weird that I hear
Trumpets when you’re turning me on?
Turning me on
Is it weird that your bra
Remind me of a Katy Perry song?

Every time that you get undressed
I hear symphonies in my head
I wrote this song just looking at you ooh, oh
Yeah the drums they swing low
And the trumpets they go (and they playing for you girl)
And the trumpets they go (ha, yeah)
Yeah the trumpets they go
Yeah the trumpets they go (go, go go, go go, go, go go)
And they go

(Damn) Is it weird that I hear
Angels every time that you moan?
Time that you moan
Is it weird that your eyes
Remind me of a Coldplay song?
Coldplay song

Is it weird that I hear
Trumpets when you’re turning me on?
Turning me on
Is it weird that your bra
Remind me of a Katy Perry song?

Every time that you get undressed
I hear symphonies in my head
I wrote this song just looking at you oh
Oh yeah

Every time (every time) that you get undressed (every time that you get undressed)
I hear symphonies in my head (I hear symphonies in my head)
I wrote this song (I wrote this song) just looking at you oh, oh (just looking at you girl)
Yeah the drums they swing low
And the trumpets they go (ha, acapella on them)




They go (ha, yeah)
Come on, come on, come on, they go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jason Derulo’s “Trumpets” are quite imaginative, using musical instruments as a metaphor for the way the subject of the song affects the singer. When the person gets undressed, he hears symphonies in his head, and the drums swing low while the trumpets blare. He even hears violins when they’re apart but reminded of pop songs when they’re together. The repeated phrase “The trumpets they go” is a playful, catchy chorus that ties the song together.


The song is about being captivated by someone to the point that they consume your thoughts and senses. The use of different instruments in the lyrics helps to illustrate how this works - the drums represent the heartbeat, the violins the romantic longing, and the trumpets the excitement and passion. There’s a playful, lighthearted feel to the lyrics that reflect the feeling of being swept away by someone.
