Vapours Lyrics

oh i ventilate.
the vapours might take a sec,
the vapours might make you wet
well i hope i satiate

whom i entertain.
hoping you get dancing feet,
hoping that you like the beat
and i hope you don't complain.

it's the bassline in you mind!
it's a sexy way to cry!
you know i had my share of doubt
until i saw the vapours in your eyes!

so watch me ventilate
knock you off your feet where you stood
you keep dancing if you could
well i hope i'm understood.

tears rolling down your face.
the vapours all up in the place
guess i'm alive today at least
while i ventilate.

it's the bassline in your mind!
it's a sexy way to cry!
you know i had my share of doubt
until i saw the vapours in your eyes!

I really, really like the brass in this one. Vapours is a good album on the whole. As for what it's about? I think vapours refers to that weird feeling when you're not really crying but your eyes are glassy.

yep, it's that feeling =]

Yes, great brass.. I love this song's chorus. It's understated but.. powerful in a strange way.

I like this cool metaphor where ventilating is like singing and he's "ventilating" out "vapours" which are the manifestation of his songs, and then he can see the vapours (his singing) enter other people in a really physical way. great imagery.

singing in itself is a cool way to describe interacting and affecting other people which for me is a nice way to interpret the "guess i'm alive today at least" line.

i think it's about sex. it's pretty clever poetry.

It's about a vape session.
