SIRENS
Travis Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the stars are all there
But when I look for you, you're never there
Explorer, are you out there? There, there, there
We had to spread out the word (mm)
I was too damn determined, rap game, it needed refurbish
I was on top with no service, watch as they all playin' verses
She wanna fuck with a purpose, I gotta juggle my urges
Got a couple departments, closet built like a department
Double up cup of the Bourbon how I give all of my sermons
Yeah, we still (still) do things down to detail
Diva and the Devil, both them bad as He-ell
They get quiet when he yell (he yell)
Can't silent my people
You locked in the prequel, meet me at the festie-viel ('viel)
Festie-vial ('vial)
(Foo, foo, foo, foo, foo, foo, foo, foo)
Now I got your attention (look out), it's wide and beatin' (look out)
Vile this evenin' (look out), you never leavin' (look-look-look-look-look-look)
Clock out, we sneak in (look-look-look-look-look)
All the demons need a reason (o-o-o-out)
Up from 2 AM to two in the afternoon (look out)
It's a festival right in my room (look out)
Soon as the sun up, you know that we doom (look out)
Mariposa, we out to Cancun (look out)
We gon' hustle more just before we out the room (look out)
Back outside, it ain't no time for Zooms (look out)
One point two, that's a whole lot of more "Vroom" (look out)
Three point two, that's a whole lot of whole lotta (look out)
It's live, remember days that I couldn't get by
Not outside, they come with it inside
Now your venue, we gotta resize
I can't give all this credit to Colgate
By the way I be rentin' the smile (look out, look out)
I know sometimes I be in denial (look out, look out)
I know sometimes I be in the wild (look out, look out)
How I rockin' the, rockin' the-, ah
I thought we were going to utopia?
What makes you say this isn't utopia?
I mean, I don't know, isn't it supposed to be some perfect destination?
This is just your hotel room
Yeah, it looks perfect to me
In Travis Scott's song "SIRENS," the lyrics depict a sense of longing and searching for connection amidst fame and success. The opening lines establish a contrast between the vastness of the sky and the absence of a desired presence. The singer expresses a desire to find someone or something, referred to as an "Explorer," but acknowledges their constant absence.
The following verses delve into Travis Scott's rap career and the challenges he faced along the way. He mentions his determination to revive the rap game and his ascent to the top without any assistance or support. The line "watch as they all playin' verses" could be a reference to other artists attempting to imitate his style. He acknowledges the presence of critics and the need to navigate his own desires and responsibilities.
The song also touches upon the duality within oneself, represented by the juxtaposition of a diva and the devil. Scott asserts that his people cannot be silenced, possibly alluding to his loyal fanbase or the collective voice of his community. He invites listeners to meet him at a festival, painting a picture of a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
In the later part of the song, Scott's lyrics become more introspective. He speaks of renting a smile, possibly suggesting that his outward appearances and expressions are not always a true reflection of his inner emotions. He acknowledges moments of denial and wildness in his life, alluding to personal struggles and recklessness. Despite this, he finds solace and contentment in the present moment, even if it is just his hotel room.
Overall, "SIRENS" captures Travis Scott's introspection on his journey to success, the challenges he faced, and the search for meaning and connection in the midst of fame.

Every night, I look up in the sky

Festie-vial ('vial)
An energetic and exhilarating atmosphere reminiscent of a festival
(Foo, foo, foo, foo, foo, foo, foo, foo)
Vocalized sounds that convey excitement and enthusiasm
Now I got your attention (look out), it's wide and beatin' (look out)
Currently, I have captured your focus, and it is intense and pulsating
Vile this evenin' (look out), you never leavin' (look-look-look-look-look-look)
This evening feels wicked and malevolent, and you are trapped, unable to escape
Clock out, we sneak in (look-look-look-look-look)
Punch out of your regular routine, and let us engage in surreptitious activities
All the demons need a reason (o-o-o-out)
Every malevolent force requires a justification for their actions
Up from 2 AM to two in the afternoon (look out)
From the early hours of the morning until midday, we remain vigilant and active
It's a festival right in my room (look out)
My room becomes a vibrant and celebratory space, akin to a festival
Soon as the sun up, you know that we doom (look out)
As soon as the sun rises, you are aware of our impending chaos and destruction
Mariposa, we out to Cancun (look out)
Mariposa, let's escape to Cancun, leaving our worries behind
We gon' hustle more just before we out the room (look out)
We will exert extra effort and work diligently right before leaving this space
Back outside, it ain't no time for Zooms (look out)
Once we venture outdoors, there is no moment to waste on virtual meetings

With an increased speed of 1.2, there is a significant surge in energy and momentum
Three point two, that's a whole lot of whole lotta (look out)
At a speed of 3.2, there is an abundance of intense and overwhelming sensations
It's live, remember days that I couldn't get by
This experience is exhilarating, reminiscent of challenging times I once faced
Not outside, they come with it inside
The chaos and challenges are not limited to the external world, they also invade our inner space
Now your venue, we gotta resize
The environment you dwell in requires adjustment and adaptation
I can't give all this credit to Colgate
I cannot attribute all of my success and charisma solely to a toothpaste brand
By the way I be rentin' the smile (look out, look out)
The way I radiate joy and happiness reminds others of a rented object, which demands attention
I know sometimes I be in denial (look out, look out)
I am aware that at times I refuse to accept or acknowledge certain truths
I know sometimes I be in the wild (look out, look out)
I understand that occasionally I behave or act in a reckless and uninhibited manner
How I rockin' the, rockin' the-, ah
I confidently and effortlessly dominate the scene, leaving a lasting impact
I thought we were going to utopia?
Wasn't our objective to reach an ideal and harmonious society?
What makes you say this isn't utopia?
What indication do you have to claim that our current situation is not perfect?
I mean, I don't know, isn't it supposed to be some perfect destination?
To my understanding, shouldn't it be an immaculate and flawless place to arrive at?
This is just your hotel room
In reality, this setting is merely your temporary accommodation
Yeah, it looks perfect to me
Despite the impermanence and limitations, I find this environment exceptionally ideal
