Starting out as a hip-hop producer at the age of 13, Dapperton made the switch to his current sound after a serious hospitalisation and the failure of his laptop.
Pairing infectious, nostalgia-laden tunes with high-concept filmclips, lauded for their high-concept cinematic execution, has proven to be a recipe for success. Blowing up through 2017, with two EPs dropped, and fans and the press alike taking notice, Dapperton's future looks bright.
Im Just Snacking
Gus Dapperton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, coin and cash for
Poise and panache for
Some broken bachelor, no
She don't want none
Oh, gold and gilded
So all them children
View her with brilliant foes
Pardon for part in my sight
They see with a similar eye
Honey, I'm whole so what are we snacking for?
Oh, I'm just a whore, boy, it's only natural
Well, I bet we'd look pretty outside
He won't build in
Thrones of vermillion
Whose woes is filled with
Pseudo civilians, no
She won't take up
Colorful patrons
Whose motif plays on
False admiration, no
Pardon for part in my sight
They see with a similar eye
Honey, I'm whole so what are we snacking for?
Oh, I'm just a whore, boy, it's only natural
Honey, I'm whole so what are we snacking for?
Oh I'm just a whore, boy, it's only natural
Well, I bet we'd look pretty outside
Well, I bet we'd look pretty outside, oh
Well, I bet we'd look pretty outside
In the lyrics of "I'm Just Snacking" by Gus Dapperton, the song talks about rejecting materialistic values and societal expectations in favor of embracing authenticity and staying true to oneself. The song highlights the contrast between individuals who prioritize external appearances and wealth versus those who value inner fulfillment and genuine connections.
The first verse introduces a character who is reluctant to conform to societal norms and doesn't seek validation through material possessions. The lyrics suggest that this individual is viewed negatively by others who prioritize wealth and status, symbolized by terms like "coin and cash" and "gold and gilded." There is a sense of defiance and independence in rejecting the expectations placed upon them.
The chorus further underscores the theme of self-acceptance and defiance against societal labels. The singer questions why they should conform to superficial ideals or engage in behaviors that go against their true nature. The use of the word "whore" can be interpreted metaphorically, representing the pressure to sell oneself for external validation or acceptance. The repetition of the phrase "Honey, I'm whole" reinforces the idea of self-assurance and not needing external approval.
The second verse continues to contrast the singer's values with those who prioritize appearances and superficial relationships. The lyrics criticize the shallowness of those who seek superficial admiration and pretend to be something they are not. The singer is portrayed as someone who values authenticity and genuine connections over superficiality and insincere relationships.
Overall, "I'm Just Snacking" celebrates self-empowerment, authenticity, and staying true to oneself in a world that often values material wealth and superficial appearances. The repetition of the line "Well, I bet we'd look pretty outside" could be interpreted as a reflection on how focusing on inner beauty and authenticity ultimately shines brighter than external appearances. It encourages listeners to embrace their true selves, resist societal pressures, and find beauty and worth from within.

Imagine if he was doing music during the 80s this guy would be a legend by now.
@ms3fr296
Jenkz 2timez this song and the video have such a 80s style vibe to it. even his clothes and hair are so old school feeling
@bryce5134
If he was in the 80s he'd probably try to replicate the style of the 50s. Some people are just drawn to things that aren't in the mainstream simply for that reason
@katjerouac
No he wouldn't
@jxzn9144
but his music is influenced by the 80s..
@stevenglansburg856
These are the new classics, brother.
