Cover art for Nitrous Gas lyrics by Frightened Rabbit

Breathing in enough "laughing gas" without oxygen seems like it could kill you...Which is pretty interesting in relation to this song. He will either laugh half-heartedly or die trying to pretend. He doesn't want to listen to an uplifting (although possibly untrue) song of a gospel singer. He wants to listen to the heartbreakers. Although they are depressing, they seem true.
