MY EYES Lyrics

by TraviS Scott

"MY EYES" is a new single by Travis Scott, featuring Sampha and Bon Iver. Coming from his latest, unreleased album, "UTOPIA," the knit of the track becomes a rich, luxurious tapestry full of emotional deepness, materialistic musings, and existential contemplation. It's also a place in the sand, collaboratively important, that Travis Scott is a rare luminary with two equally rare talents trying to delve further into the spirit of having wealth, being famous, and really searching to truly connect. At its core, "MY EYES" is about opposites: material excess and the internal—perhaps subconscious—desire for something beyond the add-ons of material wealth. Co-written, produced, and including a feature from a supergroup of production—an incalculably esteemed team of Justin Vernon from Bon Iver—the lyrics of the song dig a bit into Scott's world of high-end living and the adulation his position in the world garners him. But it lies in cuts below this surface that there's an undercurrent of introspection and yearning for authenticity and real connections. The narrative of the song, however, gets complicated as it threads Scott's bragging confession about his success and wealth within the depth of an introspective look into the emotional and psychological cost of fame. Justin's contribution to the song comes from the pre-chorus; it puts another twist, suggesting a relationship or commitment to another person from whom he receives mixed doses of light and darkness in his life. Sampha's verse is another reminder that there is a support system, though, that keeps the protagonist—from everything he's feeling—grounded. "MY EYES" is a meditation on the seduction of fame and the deeply embedded sense of hopelessness that accompanies a life viewed through the eyes of the public. Even the song's name is cast around in the context of looking at wealth and, on a much more personal level, through the doors of Scott's world and the contradictions that define it.

MY EYES Song Lyrics

MY EYES by TraviS Scott

When I stare in your eyes
You'll be there forever
To watch our life (To watch our life together)
You just like going to Heaven (My heart)
Oh, where are you taking me? (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
I'm fallin', and I'm drownin'
But you're takin' me

One thousand on my feet
Stacks spreaded on my seat, ten thousand on my eyes (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
I'm brought in by the bliss
I was sworn in by the kiss
Late from the country cadence
No peacemaker, I sweep up cases
Goin' on a walk with a new suit on
But, 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 Hummer
Three time to get me teen
Still same phone, AT&T
Still givin' news very vividly
Beef in there, f**k a beef
Smokin' on some vegetari' (Huh)
I need no beef, no cheese (Yeah)
Even when I eat, they cheat (Uh)
Everytime we meet naive

When I stare in your eyes
You'll 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 get so hot
It's mad how you get me by (By)

Tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's me, it's me, it's me, it's me, it's me

Look in my eyes, tell me a tale
Do you see the road that's matchin' my soul?
Look, tell me the stats 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 tonic
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 wit' 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 (Hah)
Yeah, yeah
That sh*t wild, instead I'm a hero
I took it from zero, LaFlame you sayin'
I read it from miles, this sh*t wasn't love
They got me f**ked 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 up ground
They say they the ones when they make the errors
Can't look in the mirror, that sh*t wild
Stand on the stage, I give 'em the rage, I'm turnin' it down, can't tan it, can't flower
We do it on the streets, we do it for keeps, we do it for rights
Got fifty-two weeks
This sh*t ain't for pleasure, I'm comin' to tweak
This sh*t is forever, and it ain't feelin' me
Ridin' and rappin' 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
They ain't buy the condo, it was part of the 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
