The boys have wasted no time following up with their sophomore release Soaked (LP and cassette out June 2nd on OIM Records), introducing a more diverse and groovy approach to their shimmering dream-pop sound. The album was recorded at Skyline Studios in Oakland with producer Jeff Saltzman (Hot Fuss, Green Day) and mixed by Eric Broucek (The Drums, Cut Copy, DFA Records). Where dirty guitars and speedy garage rock anthems once held the reigns, Soaked brings forth a colorful array of tones and instrumentation over compositions filled with sweeping emotion, achieving a higher level of production value and pop sensibility. It is apparent how the band’s sound has grown while still retaining loyalty to their classic, melody-centric songwriting.
After tirelessly gigging up and down the west coast and opening for acts such as Alvvays, Daywave, Mild High Club & Surfer Blood, Hot Flash’s growing reputation for energetic live performances has brought audiences together from across Northern California to sing, dance, and have fun together. The group will embark on their first national tour with the release of the album this April. See the story unfold in a city near you.
Bye Bye Baby
Hot Flash Heat Wave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I really thought we had a spark
Then you treat me like a villain while you're creepin' in the dark
Maybe you're the criminal
Bye bye, baby
I really hate to see you go
But the way you treated me last night had me lyin' on the floor
Bye bye, baby
And when you shot me down, felt like you dropped me with a gun
Feelings change just like the weather
And when it rains, it really pours
The more we try to hold on tighter, the more we start to feel ignored
I think that I'll be on my way
Bye bye, baby
I really hate to see you go
But the way you treated me last night had me lyin' on the floor
Bye bye, baby
You know I thought you were the one
And when you shot me down, felt like you dropped me with a gun
Yeah with a gun
Bye bye, baby
I really hate to see you go
But the way you treated me last night had me lyin' on the floor
Bye bye, baby
You know I thought you were the one
And when you shot me down, felt like you dropped me with a gun

Try to tell you how I'm feelin'
I attempted to express my emotions to you
I really thought we had a spark
I believed there was a connection between us
Then you treat me like a villain while you're creepin' in the dark
You behave as if I am the antagonist while concealing questionable behavior
Maybe you're the criminal
It is possible that you are the one at fault
Bye bye, baby
Farewell
I really hate to see you go
I feel some sadness about the separation
But the way you treated me last night had me lyin' on the floor
Your actions caused me to suffer greatly
You know I thought you were the one
I believed you were the ideal partner for me
And when you shot me down, felt like you dropped me with a gun
Your rejection caused emotional pain comparable to physical injury
Feelings change just like the weather
Emotions fluctuate unpredictably
And when it rains, it really pours
Difficulty tends to manifest in multiples
The more we try to hold on tighter, the more we start to feel ignored
Attempts to cling closer to each other can result in increased distance
I think that I'll be on my way
I intend to depart
Yeah with a gun
As if I had been shot
