Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You the one I call when I'm stressed
This the time of the year I feel alone
This the time of the year you treat me wrong
Yeah, this the late night, you know the deal (deal)
On a late night, nowhere to chill
Yeah, I'm on the west, yeah, I'm on the west side
Off the drugs, know I'm not the best guy
You done had all of the rappers, I'm the one, yeah
Ain't gon' lie, I remember how it feels, yeah
Ain't gon' lie, I'ma tell you this for real
(What) split a pack of the woods down
Ride with me, yeah, you wish you could now
Always come and go and never fail
It was never love, I could tell now
She pop 'em up, Blue Chanel just to get it up
Parking lot full of foreign hoes on the regular
With their painted toes in their heels
Let's go find a place that's far from here, for real
Far from here
Nights like this, nights like this
I wish I could do the impossible
I wish I could do the impossible
Nights like this, nights like this, I wish
I could do the impossible, I could do the impossible
Yeah you the one, you know me the best
You the one I call when I'm stressed
This the time of year when I'm alone
This the time of the year we get our own
I can't lie when I'm out on the west
Yeah, the west, yeah, yeah, the west side
And lately, I ain't been feeling the best
'Cause you the best, yeah, you my best high
Now you know what you're dealing with
Now you know what's wrong, what the feeling is
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rastas rolling in Benz up in here
Bandits poppin' them bars up
Man nuh run up the bands
That make them gun claps in here
No fear, no fear, you rock, I hear
I'm gon' let you know that the man is for real
Yeah, for real
Far from here
Nights like this, nights like this
I wish I could do the impossible
I wish I could do the impossible
Nights like this, nights like this, I wish
I could do the impossible
I could do the impossible
Yeah
I wish I could do the impossible
I wish I could do the impossible
I could do the impossible
"Impossible" by Travis Scott is a song that examines the singer's desire for an unattainable love. He begins by acknowledging that the person he is addressing in the song, presumably his lover, knows him the best and is the one he calls when he's stressed. However, during this time of year, he feels alone, and their relationship becomes strained. Despite this, he longs for his former lover and the special connection they once had. He expresses his desire for something that seems impossible, which is to make the relationship work out again.
As the song progresses, Travis Scott continues to demonstrate his yearning for the impossible. He states that he is nowhere to chill on a late night on the west side, where he is not feeling his best. The singer reflects on his relationship and the fact that he is not the best guy, but he always gets it done. The lyric "I remember how it feels" highlights that he is fondly remembering his relationship and thinks it was a genuine connection, while hoping for the possibility of rekindling the spark they once had.
Despite his poignant lyrics in "Impossible," Travis also paints a picture of a luxurious lifestyle. He talks about the Blue Chanel perfume and foreign women with painted toes in heels in a parking lot. Nevertheless, he still yearns for something that he considers impossible, which may be his past love. In the chorus, he emphasizes that nights like this, he wishes he could do the impossible and make his relationship work out again.
