Cover art for Fainting Spells lyrics by Crystal Castles

This song is about religion.

"I'll make you forget with the taste of lambskin" You'll forget your real-life problems by letting religion take them away, the taste of lambskin is a biblical reference.

"The bounty is yours it tastes like medicine" It's saying that by believing in heaven (the bounty) you're believing in something that's not really there, just to medicate your problems.

"We evaporate without condensation" When we die, we float up and we don't reform anywhere. We don't condensate back into rain droplets in the clouds, we don't reform as angels in heaven.

"But heaven is still your only expectation" Speaks for itself.
