Travis Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah (watch me heal)
Statues in the next room
Billions in escrow (ah)Bulletproof the whole thing
Ignore the dress code
Step into the ballroom
So hard to let go (ah)
Things that never give life
I can see the echoes
Ridin' through the thunder
Tryna see the summer (it's the echoes that I wait for)
(It's the echoes that I'm made for)
Recognize the restaurant
Reckon gotta let go
Breakin' through the echoes (made for)
Breathin' through the echo (walk)
It's only echoes I escape for (walk, walk)
Only echoes on the return (walk, walk)
Walkin' on the numbers (walk, walk)
Stay the night
It's the let go (walk)
The let go (walk)
The let go (walk)
The let go (walk)
That I wait for (walk)
I'll wait for (walk)
I'll wait for you (walk)
Watch you, watch you, watch you get the medical
Listen at your waist to stay hospitable
Infected with your vaccine, they stay critical
Let me vibe with the green eyes (-dom-dom-dom-dom)
The starry nights, they start to fade (come on)
At times, for miles I see your face, yeah
I drive, I drive alone, you wait
Your time, your time, your time, you take
You take
Drivin' reckless through a storm and
'Cause you a breakfast in the mornin'
My nights is abnormal, advice ain't informal
I didn't try to warn before they went and swarmed you
The height we made is paranormal
We shake and wake up to paranoia
Won't let it destroy you, won't let it annoy you
I'm tryna enjoy you in front of the foyer
We can't seem to break through out the logical (ah)
To see it in the day, you gotta free your soul (I'm breakin' through the echoes)
You wanna reign supreme and never let them go
We filmin' live from the kingdom-dom-dom-dom (ah)
Only echoes that I wait for (ah)
Only echo on the return
Walkin' on the numbers (walk, walk)
I find (walk, walk)
It's the echoes that I wait for (walk, walk)
It's the echoes on the return (walk, walk)
Stay the night
It's the let go (walk)
The let go (walk)
The let go (walk)
The let go (walk)
That I wait for (walk)
I'll wait for (walk)
I'll wait for (walk)
I'll wait for you (walk)

Hey, now, you will report to me
Hey, now, you will report to me

Hey, now
Hey, now, you will report to me
The lyrics to Travis Scott's song "Delresto" delve into themes of love, escape, and self-discovery. The opening lines, "I believe, I believe in love," express a strong belief in the power and importance of love. The repetition of the phrase "watch me heal" suggests that the singer is seeking healing and growth through love.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of letting go and moving forward. The references to statues in the next room, billions in escrow, and bulletproofing the whole thing could symbolize a desire to protect oneself and one's emotions. However, the singer also acknowledges the difficulty of letting go and the echoes of things that no longer bring life.
The song continues with a metaphorical journey. "Ridin' through the thunder, tryna see the summer" implies a determination to find happiness amidst adversity. The echoes are highlighted as both waiting and made for, suggesting that they hold significance and meaning in the singer's life. The chorus emphasizes the act of walking and waiting for the echoes, reinforcing the theme of persistence and patience.
As for the second verse, it seems to touch on the complexities of relationships. The line "drivin' reckless through a storm and 'cause you a breakfast in the mornin'" juxtaposes risk-taking with moments of care and tenderness. The mention of abnormal nights and paranoia suggests a fraught emotional state, but the singer refuses to let it destroy or annoy them. Ultimately, they want to enjoy the moment in front of the foyer, indicating a desire to find peace and contentment.
Overall, "Delresto" explores themes of love, escape, and the struggle to let go while also emphasizing the need to persevere and seek personal growth and healing.
Line by Line Meaning
I believe, I believe in love
I have faith and trust in the power of love
Statues in the next room
There are immovable objects in close proximity
Billions in escrow (ah)
A large amount of money being held in trust
Bulletproof the whole thing
Make the entire situation impenetrable
Ignore the dress code
Disregard the rules of appearance
Step into the ballroom
Enter a lively and extravagant atmosphere
So hard to let go
Difficult to release and move on from
Things that never give life
Entities that don't bring fulfillment or joy
I can see the echoes
I perceive the reverberations and remnants
Ridin' through the thunder
Navigating through intense and turbulent situations
Tryna see the summer
Attempting to experience a period of warmth and happiness
(It's the echoes that I wait for)
(I eagerly anticipate the residual effects)
(It's the echoes that I'm made for)
(I am uniquely suited for the reverberations)
Recognize the restaurant
Familiarize oneself with the establishment
Recognize the let go
Acknowledge the act of releasing and moving on
Breakin' through the echoes (made for)
Overcoming the lingering effects (for which I am suited)
Breathin' through the echo (walk)
Inhaling the remnants and walking forward
It's only echoes I escape for (walk, walk)
I seek refuge and freedom solely in the reverberations
Only echoes on the return (walk, walk)
Only remnants upon my journey back
Walkin' on the numbers (walk, walk)
Progressing through the challenges and calculations
Stay the night
Remain with me until morning
The let go (walk)
The act of releasing and moving forward (walk)
That I wait for (walk)
That I eagerly anticipate and long for (walk)
I'll wait for you (walk)
I will patiently await your presence (walk)
Watch you, watch you, watch you get the medical
Observing you receive the necessary treatment
Listen at your waist to stay hospitable
Being attentive to your needs and accommodating
Infected with your vaccine, they still critical
Even though affected by your remedy, they remain in a critical condition
Only vibe with the green light (-dom-dom-dom-dom)
Only resonate with positive and favorable situations
The starry nights, they start to fade (come on)
The enchanting nights gradually lose their brilliance
At times, for miles I see your face, yeah
Sometimes, I envision your presence over great distances
I drive, I drive alone, you wait
I travel by myself while you patiently wait
Your time, you're tired, you're tired, babe
You are exhausted and weary, my dear
Drivin' reckless through a storm and
Driving recklessly through a turbulent situation
'Cause you a breakfast in the mornin'
Because you deserve a fulfilling meal in the morning
My nights is abnormal, advice ain't informal
My evenings are unconventional, and I offer advice with seriousness
I didn't try to warn before they went and swarmed you
I failed to caution you before they overwhelmed you
The height we made is paranormal
The level of success we achieved is extraordinary
We shake and wake up to paranoia
We experience anxiety and wake up to feelings of suspicion
Won't let it destroy you, won't let it annoy you
I refuse to allow it to ruin or frustrate you
I'm tryna enjoy it in front of the foyer
I am attempting to find pleasure in the entrance area
We can't seem to break through out the logical (ah)
We struggle to transcend the rational and logical aspects
To see it in the day, you gotta free your soul (I'm breakin' through the echoes)
To perceive it clearly, you must liberate your inner being (I am overcoming the remnants)
You wanna reign supreme and never let them go
You desire to maintain dominance and never relinquish control
We filmin' live from the kingdom-dom-dom-dom-dom (ah)
We are recording our experiences in real-time from the realm (ah)
It's the echoes that I wait for (ah)
I eagerly anticipate the reverberations (ah)
Only echoes on the return
Only remnants upon the journey back
Walkin' on the mountains (walk)
Advancing through the challenges and heights (walk)
I find (walk)
I discover and uncover (walk)
I'll wait for you (walk)
I will patiently await your presence (walk)
Hey, now, you will report to me
Hey, now, you must provide me with information
Hey, now
Hey, now
Hey, now, you will report to me (hey, now, you will report to me)
Hey, now, you must provide me with information (hey, now, you must provide me with information)

Travis Scott’s Music Videos have become so much better. I feel like I’m watching a movie with this quality
@SolarpunkSeed
Because it's directed by a legendary movie & TV director.. Nicolas Winding Refn. I highly love and recommend all his stuff!
