Foals – Heavy Water Lyrics 14 years ago
Yeah, that does make much more sense. It's a reference to escapist drugs. The part "to pass the time away" still sticks with me though.

Harlem Shakes – Natural Man Lyrics 14 years ago
I'm hearing, instead of "took my gum", "to my gut".

And "zima saturday sunsets" I think is "seein' or see the, saturday sunsets"

Just a thought, but it does sound more like Zima in the second chorus. Which makes no sense, other than a refreshing beverage.

I think this song is a reference to escapist media:

Overused ideas or dreams in the media, "communicate cheap dreams of empty"

Ideas and dreams like vampires, "Vampires and their guns"

We ingest escapist literature and digital media, which would be similar to eating a "cloud" something empty and unfilling, just for fun, or to pass the time. "we all eat clouds to pass the time away"

Escapist, running away from reality and fighting some vampires. "to be away, we fight these vampires"
