The group's first album, the self-titled Dirty Vegas, contained a mix of electronic/club instrumentals and similar tracks with vocals by Steve Smith. This album was influenced by The Crystal Method and The Chemical Brothers, but with a slightly more laid-back approach. Songs like Throwing Shapes or The Brazilian would sound at home on an album by either of these two contemporaries.
Their second studio album, One, moved away from club music, and featured a style reminiscent of an adult contemporary album; none of the tracks went on to become hits. Some fans were put off by the drastic departure from their first album, while other fans welcomed the change.
The band reports that their third studio outting should strike a balance between the two, leaning toward the club style again.
Little White Doves
Dirty Vegas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be a victim almost every night.
And no one knows, or really cares
What your drinking, or the clothes we wear.
Hello, hello
To the pirate stations
Hello, hello
Hello, hello
To all the generation
Yeah,
We come like little white doves, little white doves.
Little white doves, little white doves, baby.
Little white doves, little white doves. yeah.
The lyrics to Dirty Vegas's song "Little White Doves" speak to the feeling of isolation and loneliness despite being surrounded by others. The first verse specifically addresses the experience of being a victim and feeling unnoticed by those around you. The line "What your drinking, or the clothes we wear" highlights the surface level judgments that people often make about each other rather than focusing on deeper struggles.
The chorus, however, presents a sense of unity and solidarity. The "hello" greetings that are repeated emphasize a reaching out to others, specifically calling out to "pirate stations" and "ivy nations" as well as "all the generation." The image of little white doves further emphasizes a message of peace and hope.
Overall, the song seems to be expressing a desire for connection and understanding in a world where it can be easy to feel alone and misunderstood. The repeated "hello" messages feel like a call to action, urging people to reach out to each other and create a sense of community.

I remember what it's like
I recall the feeling
To be a victim almost every night.
Of being taken advantage of or mistreated on a nearly nightly basis
And no one knows, or really cares
And feeling as though nobody is concerned or even aware
What your drinking, or the clothes we wear.
Of the substance being consumed or the attire being worn
Hello, hello
Greetings are given
To the pirate stations
To those operating outside of the legal norm and taking risks
Hello, hello
Greetings are given
To the ivy nations
To those living in luxury and privilege, typically in an academic environment
Hello, hello
Greetings are given
To all the generation
To everyone in the current era
Yeah,
Affirmation is made
We come like little white doves, little white doves.
We arrive peacefully and innocently
Little white doves, little white doves, baby.
Reiteration of our peaceful arrival
Little white doves, little white doves. yeah.
Continuing to emphasize our peaceful and innocent presence
