In the first part of the track, assisted by the melancholy and gloomy vocals provided by Sampha, Travis particularly touches on the lack of love in his life despite it being filled with materialistic values which tend to make people happy.
However, in the second part of the track, Travis flips the warm, somber rhythm to a faster trap cadence in which it could be perceived that he’s bragging, however, behind that, Travis speaks about his personal view of life, particularly noting that he desires his childhood more than ever.
Surprisingly, Travis references the ASTROWORLD Festival crowd crush in the lines, "I replay them nights, and right by my side, all I see is a city of people that ride wit' me. If they just knew what Scotty would do to jump off the stage and save him a child"
MY EYES
Travis Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll be there forever
To watch our life (to watch our life together)
You just like going to Heaven (my heart)
Oh, your vanity
I'm fallin', and I'm drownin'
But you're takin' me
Stacks spreaded on my seat
Ten thousand on my eyes
Rollie Pollie on my wrist
Gotta make a flight, big day, slummin' on FaceTime
Fifty K, wonderin' why I'm stormin' off, no race
Emboldened by the bliss
I was sworn in by a kiss
Late from the country cadence
No peacemaker, I sweep up cases
Goin' on a walk with a new suit armor
New suit dead, Bottega, that's on it
Give me the heat from the sleep, then I harm her
Cupid creep in, sleep with a hammer
Three time to get me T-T-T'd
Still same phone, AT&T
Still givin' news very vividly
Beefin' up, fuck a beef
Smokin' on some vicious type of reefer (huh)
I need no beef, no cheese (yeah)
Even when I eat, they cheat (uh)
Every time we meet, naïve
When I stare in your eyes
Still be there forever
To watch our life (to watch out life together)
You just like going to Heav- (my heart)
One thousand on my feet
Stacks spreaded on my seat
Ten thousand on my eyes (eyes)
Yeah, it's mad how it gets so deep
It's mad how I gets so hot
It's mad how you get me by (by)
It's me, it's me, it's me, it's-
Look in my eyes, tell me a tale
Do you see the road, a map to my soul?
Look, tell me the signs whenever the smoke clear out of my face
Am I picture-perfect, or do I look fried?
All of that green and yellow, that drip from your eyes is tellin'
Tell you demise, I went to my side
To push back the ceilin', and push back the feelings, I had to decide
I replay them nights
And right by my side all I see is a sea of people that ride with me
If they just knew what Scotty would do to jump off the stage and save him a child
The things I created became the most weighted
I gotta find balance and keep me inspired
Yeah, yeah
That shit wild, instead I'm a hero
I took it from zero, LaFlame Usain
I run it from miles, this shit wasn't luck
They got me fucked up, I put you on bust and take you around
A couple of guys inside of that school, I gave 'em the tools to get it off ground
They say they the ones when they make the errors
Can't look in the mirror, that shit wild
I stand on the stage, I give 'em the rage
No turnin' it down, can't tame it, can't follow it
We do it in streets, we do it for keeps
We do it for rights, got fifty-two weeks
This shit ain't for pleasure, I'm comin' to tweak
This shit is forever and infinity
Number eight, yeah, we write it and wrap it around
I take me beat and I turn into a beast
Bought the crib on a hill, made it harder to reach
Bought a couple more whips 'cause I needed more speed
Bought a couple more watches, I needed more time
Didn't buy the condo, it was smarter to lease
And I bought some more ice 'cause I brought in the heat
Made a cast of my dick, so she never gon' cheat
If I gave you a day in my life or a day in my eyes, don't blink
The lyrics to Travis Scott's song "MY EYES" depict the intense connection between two lovers. When the singer looks into the eyes of their partner, they believe that person will be with them forever, witnessing their shared life together. The mentioning of going to heaven suggests that the singer sees their partner as someone heavenly or divine. Despite feeling consumed and overwhelmed by their love ("I'm fallin', and I'm drownin'"), the partner is also taking the singer on a journey. The lyrics imply that this relationship is both beautiful and challenging, with the singer willingly allowing themselves to be swept away.
Line by Line Meaning
When I stare in your eyes
When I look deeply into your eyes
You'll be there forever
Your presence will always remain with me
To watch our life (to watch our life together)
To witness and be a part of our shared journey
You just like going to Heaven (my heart)
Being with you feels heavenly, filling my heart with joy
Oh, your vanity
Oh, your self-centeredness
I'm fallin', and I'm drownin'
I'm deeply infatuated and overwhelmed by my feelings for you
But you're takin' me
Yet, you are leading me further into this intense connection
One thousand on my feet
I spent a thousand on my shoes
Stacks spreaded on my seat
Money spread out on my car seat
Ten thousand on my eyes
I spent ten thousand on sunglasses
Rollie Pollie on my wrist
I have a Rolex watch on my wrist
Gotta make a flight, big day, slummin' on FaceTime
I have a busy schedule, important day, using FaceTime to connect
Fifty K, wonderin' why I'm stormin' off, no race
Fifty thousand dollars, questioning why I'm suddenly leaving without a competition
Emboldened by the bliss
Feeling confident and empowered by happiness
I was sworn in by a kiss
I was deeply committed and devoted through a kiss
Late from the country cadence
Delayed due to the relaxed rural rhythm
No peacemaker, I sweep up cases
I don't bring peace, I handle conflicts and clean up messes
Goin' on a walk with a new suit on
Taking a stroll while wearing a new suit
New suit dead, Bottega, that's on it
The new suit is impressive, it's from the luxury brand Bottega Veneta
Give me the heat from the sleep, then I harm her
When I bring intensity from my slumber, I hurt her emotionally
Cupid creep in, sleep with a Hummer
Love sneaks in, overpowering with force
Three time to get me teen
Three attempts to make me feel like a teenager again
Still same phone, AT&T
I still have the same phone carrier, AT&T
Still givin' news very vividly
Still providing news with great clarity
Beef in there, fuck a beef
Conflict exists, but I don't care about it
Smokin' on some vegetari' (huh)
Smoking marijuana, a plant-based substance
I need no beef, no cheese (yeah)
I don't want any conflicts, no problems
Even when I eat, they cheat (uh)
Even in my success, others deceive me
Every time we meet naïve
Each time we encounter each other, we are innocent and trusting
Yeah, it's mad how it gets so deep
It's incredible how our connection becomes so intense
It's mad how I gets so hot
It's crazy how passionate I become
It's mad how you get me by (by)
It's astonishing how you captivate and affect me
Look in my eyes, tell me a tale
Gaze into my eyes and narrate a story
Do you see the road that's matchin' my soul?
Can you perceive the path that aligns with my deepest self?
Look, tell me the stats whenever the smoke clear out of my face
Inform me of the facts when the situation becomes clear and the distractions fade away
Am I picture-perfect, or do I look fried?
Do I appear flawless, or do I seem exhausted?
All of that green and yellow, that drip from your eyes is tellin'
The tears from your eyes, with their green and yellow hues, reveal
Tell you demise, I went to my side
Informing you of what led to your downfall, I retreated
To push back the ceilin', and push back the feelings, I had to decide
To challenge the limits and suppress the emotions, I had to make a choice
I replay them nights
I constantly revisit those nights
And right by my side all I see is a sea of people that ride with me
By my side, I witness a multitude of people who support and stand by me
If they just knew what Scotty would do to jump off the stage and save him a child
If only they knew the extent to which I, Scotty, would go to jump off the stage and rescue a child
The things I created became the most weighted
The things I have produced hold the most significance
I gotta find balance and keep me inspired
I need to find equilibrium and maintain my motivation
That shit wild, instead I'm a hero
That situation is crazy, but I become a hero
I took it from zero, LaFlame you sayin'
I turned it around completely, LaFlame, as you're affirming
I read it from miles, this shit wasn't love
I can understand it from miles away, this wasn't love
They got me fucked up, I put you on bust and take you around
They have misunderstood me, I push you to success and show you the world
A couple of guys inside of that school, I gave 'em the tools to get it up ground
I assisted a few individuals from that school, providing them the necessary resources to thrive
They say they the ones when they make the errors
They claim to be responsible yet continue to make mistakes
Can't look in the mirror, that shit wild
They refuse to confront their own reflection, it's absurd
I stand on the stage, I give 'em the rage, I'm turnin' it down, can't tan it, can't flower
I perform on stage, delivering intense emotions, but then I calm down, unable to maintain that level of excitement indefinitely
We do it in streets, we do it for keeps, we do it for rights
We engage in street culture, we do it for the long term, we do it for justice
Got fifty-two weeks
We have a whole year
This shit ain't for pleasure, I'm comin' to tweak
This isn't just for fun, I'm coming to make adjustments and improvements
This shit is forever and infinity
This is permanent and endless
Ayo, we write it and rap it around
Hey, we write and wrap ourselves in it
I take me beat and I turn into a beast
I take the instrumental and transform into an unstoppable force
Bought the crib on a hill, made it harder to reach
I purchased a house on a hill, making it more challenging to access
Bought a couple more whips 'cause I needed more speed
I acquired more luxury cars because I desired more speed
Bought a couple more watches, I needed more time
I obtained additional watches because I wanted more timepieces
They ain't buy the condo, it was part of the lease
They didn't purchase the condominium, it was included in the leasing agreement
And I bought some more ice 'cause I brought in the heat
I acquired more diamonds because I brought intense energy and success
Made her cancel my dick, so she never gon' cheat
I made her disinterested in other men, ensuring she won't betray me
If I gave you a day in my life or a day in my eyes, don't blink
If I allowed you to experience a day of my life or see through my perspective, don't miss it
