Travis Scott Is A Flame-Inducing Tooth Fairy In 'Wake Up' Video

We sleep day-to-day, and for eight hours (for those lucky enough to get that long) our consciousnesses are separated from these earthly bags of flesh. Being that we're immersed in the realm of dreams, our bodies can't move and we don't know what occurs to them while we're lounging. So what actually happens to our bodies while we sleep? Travis Scott's new video for "Wake Up" finds him navigating through a residence of sleeping people, watching them in peace. Jonah Hill directs the weird video that only gets creepier as it goes on, in true Scott fashion.


In "Wake Up" – from Scott's 2018 album Astroworld – for some inexplicable reason, each person at Scott's mansion is fast asleep. They lay on the floor with their mouths open. Drool crawls down their cheeks to floor, all of the while, Scott looks around, flabbergasted. He strolls by way of the home and finds dozens of people soon after what looks like some sort of party. Since no one can visualize him, he breaks out an atypical superpower; he can fly while folks are sleep. We never mentioned he was human. Scott's more like a fairy, on the hunt for teeth under a pillow. He floats around the home and keeps watch over each person, looking around at belongings and typically just waiting for people to wake up. Sounds simple, right? Obviously it isn't. Water droplets float airborne around Scott and for some reason, the residence itself catches fire. There's also an explosion in the distant background in a forest that never arises again. The world is literally ending around these snoozing somebodies and Scott is content with being a fairy-like creature, shedding droplets. Neat stuff.


Jonah Hill recently directed the video for Vampire Weekend's "Sunflower." Moreover, he also directed Danny Brown's "Ain't It Funny."


Travis Scott is set to perform at Lil Wayne's WeezyAna Fest in September along with at Rolling Loud NYC in October. He recently collaborated with Ed Sheeran for "Antisocial" and appeared in the wild video that feels like 12 mini-movies in one.
