Every time that you get undressed
I hear symphonies in my head 1
I wrote this song just looking at you oh, oh
Yet the drums they swing low
And the trumpets they go
And the trumpets they go
Yeah the trumpets they go 2
Da da, da ra ra da, da, da
Da, ra, ra, ra, da, da
Da da, da ra ra da, da, da
Da, ra, ra, ra, da, da
They go 3
(Verse 1)
Is it weird that I hear
Violins whenever you’re gone 4
Whenever you’re gone
Is it weird that your ass
Remind me of a Kanye West song?
Kanye West song 5
Is it weird that I hear
Trumpets when you’re turning me on?
Turning me on 6
Is it weird that your bra
Remind me of a Katy Perry song? 7
(Hook)
(Verse 2)
Is it weird that I hear
Angels every time that you moan?
Time that you moan 8
Is it weird that your eyes
Remind me of a Coldplay song?
Coldplay song
Is it weird that I hear
Trumpets when you’re turning me on?
Turning me on 9
(Hook)
8Jason says that seeing his girl undress makes his world go round and he starts to have illusions or symphonies of the movements that they can make.
This is one of the moments in which Jason has been inspired by seeing his girl strip off her clothes. As they start coming off, the music starts. The drums going low could be the normal build up before they burst to reflect the activity that they just starting on, which will end up in a climax.
It seems the most prominent instrument that he can hear is the trumpet. The trumpet is used on many occasions to herald the entry of someone of importance to an event or important events. It is a part of the brass family and produces a melodic sound and in the hands of an expert, one can accomplish a lot on this instrument. Similarly, when she undresses, it could lead to other things like making love.
Jason uses a violin to show the intensity of their emotions when they are together and when they apart. When apart, the symphonies relax into a gentle and harmonic violin sound, a violin can also produce minor sounds, which at best sometimes sound very sad, a state that is probably what he feels when they are apart.
This is a reference to a specific song by Kanye West, it could be ‘Mercy’ in which Big Sean describes the size of a girls behind, “Whoa, make the ground move, that’s an ass quake, Built a house up on it, that’s an ass state, Roll my blunt on it, that’s an ass tray.”
He wonders if he is fine because of all the music that his girl inspires in him. He seems to think that music that is a little more soothing such that of a violin is what should be turning him on, instead of a crazy unpredictable trumpet, which just goes to shows the intensity of his feelings for her.
This could be a reference to the ‘California girls’ song by Katy Perry, which Jason says that one his girl’s bras reminds him of.
Jason considers himself a stud and nothing makes him happier that hearing his girl moan in ecstasy, a sound which he compares to that of angels.
Jason’s last reference is to a Coldplay song, meaning that this has to be one of their love songs such as ‘Paradise,’ ‘Violet Hill,’ ‘Yellow,’ ‘Green Eyes’ and ‘Shiver’ amongst others.

Either this is about Mr. Derulo being really turned on, or he has synesthesia. Take your pick.

“Is it weird that your eyes
Remind me of a Coldplay song?
Coldplay song”
Her eyes could remind him of one of Coldplay’s songs called ‘A sky full of stars.’ Even though Trumpets was released before it. He could of seen it in upcoming songs and decided to promote it.
