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.

As you are found
An I get weak
But you stay sound
Check I'm high
You hold down
Sooner or later he was bound to come out
I've had my time
An all of your patience
Had a place in my mind
Took for granted all that you know
Yeah I got this feeling I don't wanna let go
So come on, come on, come on now
Been down this road before
Wasting all this time
That we'll never get back
Now, what are you waiting for?
Now, I'm ready to take it all
Save me now
Or I'm never gonna get back
An I'm livin without you now
An I'm just a begger without you
So save me now
Or I'm never gonna get back
You gave me love
I gave you help
It has its uses but I never could tell
You dived in
I shared my skin
Yeah I got this feeling
I don't wanna give in
So come on, come on, come on now
Been down this road before now
Wasting all this time
That we'll never get back
Now, what are you waiting for?
Coz I'm ready to take it all
Save me now
Or I'm, I'm never gonna get back
An I'm livin without you now
An I'm just a beggar without you
So save me now
Or I'm never gonna get back
An I'm starin at temptation
So come on and save me now
An I'm looking for salvation
So come on and save me now
An I'm starin at temptation
So come on and save me now
Coz I've been wild
I've had my time
For all of your patience
Had a place in my mind
Took for granted all that you know
Coz I got this feeling that I don't wanna let go
Now, what are you waiting for?
Coz I'm ready to take it all
Save me now
Or I'm, I'm never gonna get back
An I'm livin without you now
An I'm just a beggar without you
So save me now

Line by Line Meaning
An I was lost
I was lost and helpless
As you are found
While you were capable and strong
An I get weak
I become vulnerable and powerless
But you stay sound
But you remain resilient and reliable
Check I'm high
I'm under the influence of drugs
You hold down
You remain stable and grounded
Sooner or later he was bound to come out
It was inevitable that my true self would emerge
Coz I've been wild
Because I've been reckless and irresponsible
I've had my time
I've lived my life freely without regard for consequences
An all of your patience
And all of your understanding and tolerance
Had a place in my mind
Was appreciated and valued by me
Took for granted all that you know
I underestimated your knowledge and expertise
Yeah I got this feeling I don't wanna let go
I have a strong desire that I don't want to lose
So come on, come on, come on now
Urging someone to take action
Been down this road before
Experienced a similar situation before
Wasting all this time
Spending time uselessly
That we'll never get back
That we can never recover or regain
Now, what are you waiting for?
Asking why someone is delaying or hesitating
Now, I'm ready to take it all
Now I am prepared to face everything
Or I'm never gonna get back
Or else I'll never be the same again
An I'm livin without you now
And now I'm surviving without you
An I'm just a begger without you
And now I'm desperate and helpless without you
You gave me love
You showered me with affection and care
I gave you help
And I offered you support and assistance
It has its uses but I never could tell
It was beneficial but I couldn't see it
You dived in
You took a risk and committed yourself
I shared my skin
I opened up and revealed my true self
An I'm starin at temptation
And I'm facing a seductive or alluring force
So come on and save me now
I need someone to rescue me immediately
An I'm looking for salvation
And I'm searching for deliverance or redemption
Coz I got this feeling
Because I have a strong intuition or hunch
Save me now
Rescue me immediately
Or I'm never gonna get back
Or else I'll never recover or return to my former self
Coz I got this feeling
Because I have this intense sensation or emotion
Save me now
Rescue me immediately
Or I'm never gonna get back
Or else I'll never be the same again
Yeah I got this feeling
Yes, I have this overwhelming sensation
I don't wanna let go
I don't want to lose or give up on it
