Lupin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your voice gets soft and slow
The words pour out your
mouth like smoke
I wear it like
Bleu De Chanel Cologne
I know it fades so fast
but I can be your diplomat
I guess I'll try my best
but my mind is in the clouds
We disagree but
in time you'll see
You should have
stuck around
For seven years we ran
from the future
that we planned
A past we couldn't
understand
A present that looked
better in the rearview
Here we are
I still think of you
I still think of you
Gone so far
I still think of you
I still think of you
(ah may)
It lasted longer
than you had expected
(ah may)
But shorter than
I thought it'd be
(ah may)
I always fuck things up
when I'm pretending
(ah may)
I always fuck things up
it's killing me
It's killing me
Here we are
I still think of you
I still think of you
Gone so far
I still think of you
I still think of you
It lasted longer
than you had expected
(ah may)
But shorter than
I thought it'd be
(ah may)
I always fuck things up
when I'm pretending
(ah may)
I always fuck things up
It's killing me
It's killing me
The lyrics of Lupin's song "May" depict a complicated relationship between two individuals who are struggling to come to terms with their feelings for each other. The song opens with the singer acknowledging that one of the ways the person he is addressing gets high is by spending time with him. Their conversations are heavy and meaningful, and they seem to let their guard down whenever they are together. The singer compares the experience to the fading scent of a cologne, which he knows will disappear soon but still wears it, hinting that he is prepared to invest in something that may not last.
The singer admits that while he will try his best to understand the other person, his mind is constantly in the clouds, indicating that he may not always be emotionally present. The two individuals seem to disagree frequently, but he believes that with time, they will come to a resolution. The song then moves to their shared history, where they have been running away from the future, confused about the past and disillusioned by the present. Despite all of this, the singer can't stop thinking about the other person, suggesting that their connection is more profound than they realize.
As the song progresses, the singer confesses that things have not gone entirely smooth between them. He recognizes that he sometimes messes things up by pretending to be someone he is not, and this disingenuous nature is beginning to affect him emotionally. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the idea that despite everything, the singer still thinks of the other person and is struggling to come to terms with their connection.
Overall, "May" is a poignant representation of how complicated relationships can be. The song captures the self-doubt, misunderstandings, and emotional turmoil that individuals go through when they first realize their feelings for someone. The lyrics are raw and relatable, making it easy for people to connect with the message the song conveys.
Line by Line Meaning
You get high with me I know
I can see that you feel good around me
Your voice gets soft and slow
I notice your voice change when you're with me
The words pour out your mouth like smoke
You open up and speak freely when you're with me
I wear it like Bleu De Chanel Cologne
I cherish the way you make me feel when you're around
I know it fades so fast but I can be your diplomat
I understand the transience of this feeling, but I can be your shelter in such moments
Just call I'll come right back
You can always count on me to be there for you
I guess I'll try my best but my mind is in the clouds
I will make an effort, but I am distracted by my thoughts
We disagree but in time you'll see
We may have different opinions now, but you'll eventually come to understand me
You should have stuck around
I wish you had stayed by my side
For seven years we ran from the future that we planned
We avoided facing the future we had envisioned for ourselves for seven years
A past we couldn't understand
We struggled to comprehend our past experiences
A present that looked better in the rearview
The present seems better when viewed from the past
Here we are I still think of you
Even after all this time, I still think of you
Gone so far I still think of you
Despite how much time has passed, I still think about you
(ah may) It lasted longer than you had expected
The time we spent together lasted longer than you thought it would
(ah may) But shorter than I thought it'd be
But for me, it was shorter than I had anticipated
(ah may) I always f*** things up when I'm pretending
I tend to mess things up when I'm being insincere
(ah may) It's killing me
It's very painful for me

Jake is literally one of the most visionary artists of our time. Hippo Campus, Baby Boys, now Lupin. Not even to mention all of the other artists he’s helped produce. Can’t wait for more! This was an amazing first taste of what’s to come 😃
SuperAvacodo
This feels like a happy secret that I don’t want anyone else to know about
BrokenShadows
That’s a bit selfish we should spread the word so the creator gets repaid for his hard work
Incky
We all knew Jake was gonna go full psychedelic mode on our ass at some point

If still woozy and baby boys had a baby, I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! I think this song was made for me.

The last “I still think of you” stretches out more than the rest and then goes to “it lasted longer than you had expected” LIKE TELL ME THAT ISNT GENIUS!!!
Wyatt Mullins
This song sounds like its a cross between Prince, and Tame Impala. Needless to say that it feckin grooves!! I remember seeing HIPPO CAMPUS on their Landmark album, and they always have had that reputation of sounding the exact same on their albums as they do live! Much love to you Jake!!! Keep up that fantastic work!!!
