RED
Peres Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In Texas there is a bayou
Cross the bayou there is a highway
Down the highway there is a town called Houston
On Mars there is a red sky
And beneath it there are no blue eyes

Below me there is a table
And the table looks like ice
Through the screen door there is a bug light
On the wireless there is a ballgame
While on Mars there are no women
And as well there are no grey skies
On Mars there are no women
And as well there are no grey skies

At NASA they build rockets
And they need a place to go
While I know that someone once lived here
Now I cannot recall
Who

On Mars there is a red sky
And beneath it there are no blue eyes

In Texas there is a bayou
Cross the bayou there is a highway
Down the highway there is a town called Houston
On Mars there are no women
And as well there are no grey skies
Ever

Mars has no women
Mars has no women




Mars has no women
Ever

Overall Meaning

Peres's song Red is a beautifully poetic exploration of contrasting landscapes and the absence of certain things in those landscapes. The song begins with a reference to Texas, a state known for its bayous, followed by the highway that leads to the city of Houston, a bustling urban center with all its accompanying features, including women and grey skies. Then, the song shifts its focus to the barren planet Mars, where the red sky dominates and there are no women or grey skies.


The second verse of the song is more personal, with the singer describing their surroundings in detail. They are sitting at a table that looks like ice, and there is a bug light on the screen door. In contrast to the Earthly setting, the wireless radio is tuned into a ballgame. The singer again references Mars, highlighting the fact that there are no women or grey skies on the planet.


The chorus repeats the themes presented in the verses, emphasizing that Mars has no women and no grey skies, drawing attention to the stark contrast between the two worlds. The final verse brings NASA into the song, with a reference to rockets and a need for a destination, before returning again to Mars and the red sky.


Overall, Peres's Red is a beautiful, haunting song that explores the absence of certain things and the contrasts between different environments.

His mentality and confidence is on another level something that albon and Gasly didn’t have when they were in Red Bull that’s why I see that he will do great thing at Red Bull
