Whiteout Lyrics

Cover art for Whiteout lyrics by Warpaint

I feel like the singer has just discovered she has romantic feelings towards a really close and true friend. The guy has really low self-esteem and the singer is trying to comfort him in the beginning which gradually turns into something else, something more, almost a head-on confession by the end. The song has a clear conceptual arc both musically and lyrically and it gets from A to B by the end which I always appreciate.

I find the song very intriguing, groovy and ultimately sexy, probably their best since the Exquisite Corpse days. Nice job, Warpaint!
