Tove Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Skin to skin
Seepin' in
Flickering, our eyes go wide
You giving me studded sight
Painting stars
In our hearts
I want you to lick my wounds
What's you line though?
That I'm fine, oh
Heard that before
But somehow it means more
Dreamer, trippin' on your highs
These vibes, I feel 'em, ooh
Dreamer, trippin' on your highs
Feelin' all the vibes, oh oh
Whisper pretty little things
Heart sings, I feel 'em, ooh
Dreamer, tripping on your highs
Feelin' all the vibes (oh oh)
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do you feel 'em too?
I feel ya, feel ya, feel ya
Feeling so high falling into you
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do you feel 'em too?
I feel ya, feel ya, feel ya
Feeling so high falling into you
Break away
All the things stopping me from letting go
Temperature is taking hold (oh!)
Heart beating faster and faster
I'll be your (you'll be my) brand new disaster
But I don't know
Seems like what you're looking for
What's you type, though?
Am I right? No
Heard that before
But still you want it more
Dreamer, trippin' on your highs
These vibes, I feel 'em, ooh
Dreamer, trippin' on your highs
Feelin' all the vibes, ooh
Whisper pretty little things
Heart sings, I feel 'em, ooh
Dreamer, tripping on your highs
Feelin' all the vibes
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do you feel 'em too?
I feel ya, feel ya, feel ya
Feeling so high falling into you
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? (Oh)
Do you feel 'em too?
I feel ya, feel ya, feel ya
Feeling so high falling into you
Oh
What's you type, though?
Am I right? No
Heard that before
But still you want it more
Dreamer, trippin' on your highs
These vibes, I feel 'em, ooh
Dreamer, trippin' on your highs
Feelin' all the vibes, ooh
Whisper pretty little things
Heart sings, I feel 'em, ooh
Dreamer, tripping on your highs
Feelin' all the vibes
Tell me
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do you feel 'em too?
I feel ya, feel ya, feel ya
Feeling so high falling into you
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do you feel 'em too?
I feel ya, feel ya, feel ya
Feeling so high falling into you
The song "Vibes" by Tove Lo Joe Janiak is inspired by the feeling of falling in love and getting lost in the moment, as if nothing else matters. The lyrics describe the physical and emotional connection between two people, as they become lost in each other's presence. "Skin to skin, Seepin' in, Flickering, our eyes go wide, You giving me studded sight, Painting stars, In our hearts, Yeah, you know I'm down for you, I want you to lick my wounds" paints a picture of being vulnerable with one's lover and the trust that is necessary for a deep relationship.
The chorus describes the intoxicating feeling that comes with falling in love, as if you're on a trip or high. "Dreamer, trippin' on your highs, These vibes, I feel 'em, ooh, Dreamer, trippin' on your highs, Feelin' all the vibes, oh oh" is a representation of the innate desire to lose oneself in the feeling of love, as well as the transformative effect it can have on a person.
The song ends with the artist questioning whether the other person feels the same, "Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?, Do you feel 'em too?". The repetition of this question illustrates the importance of mutual feelings in a relationship and the longing that comes with not knowing for sure.

Skin to skin
Close physical contact between us
Seepin' in
Our connection is permeating deeper into each other
Flickering, our eyes go wide
Our eyes widen with excitement as we look at each other
You giving me studded sight
You're showing me a beautiful visual display
Painting stars in our hearts
Our love is igniting a passionate feeling in us
Yeah, you know I'm down for you
I'm committed to you and your happiness
I want you to lick my wounds
I want you to heal my emotional scars and make me feel better
What's you line though?
What's your type or preference?
That I'm fine, oh
You tell me that I'm attractive or likable
Heard that before
I've been complimented like that before
But somehow it means more
Coming from you, it has a deeper effect on me
Dreamer, trippin' on your highs
I'm experiencing intense emotions while around you
These vibes, I feel 'em, ooh
The energy between us is powerful and electric
Whisper pretty little things
You're saying sweet things to me softly
Heart sings, I feel 'em, ooh

Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do you also feel this way?
Do you feel 'em too?
Are you also experiencing these intense emotions?
Feeling so high falling into you
I feel euphoric and intoxicated by my love for you
Break away
Let go of our inhibitions and surrender to the moment
All the things stopping me from letting go
My fears and doubts that are holding me back from fully loving you
Temperature is taking hold
My body is heating up from my desire for you
Heart beating faster and faster
My heart is pounding with excitement and anticipation
I'll be your (you'll be my) brand new disaster
We will be each other's wild and unpredictable adventure
But I don't know
I'm uncertain and hesitant
Seems like what you're looking for
I think I match what you want in a partner
Tell me
Please let me know
