The Hamptons
TransViolet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said I've never heard of it
He said he's got a girlfriend
But she's gone for the weekend to Manhattan
She's got no tourniquet
She bleeds her parent's money
Splitting eight balls with Elliot
He's a plus one, he's a novelty
He's just something for all the rich girls to play with
Yeah, I'm not one to get violent
I'm a pacifist, still lowkey
But I'm imagining my brains on his carpet
In the Hamptons
In the Hamptons
Met her in Los Angeles, sitting on the pavement
She said her card was declined
And her ex girlfriend was stranded at the airport
And she just needed
Fifteen dollars for gas money
Cause this kid was lost without her
It's not her fault and you know
Her dad's a creep, he's a nightmare
He started hooking up with her friend from high school
Don't think she's all there, she's damaged
She's a handful, a catastrophe
She said she'd die before she'd go back to that hell hole
In the Hamptons
In the Hamptons
He says
When's nothing's good enough
You hurt the ones you love
You hurt the ones you love, love, love, love
She says
It's never good enough
And there's no place for love
No there's not place for love, love, love
In the Hamptons

Transviolet's song "The Hamptons" depicts two stories of broken individuals who find solace in each other. The lyrics tell the tale of a boy who claims to be from the Hamptons and his girlfriend who is in Manhattan for the weekend. The girl bleeds her parents' money and splits eight balls with Elliot, indicating she is involved in drugs. The boy is a plus one at the parties and is just a novelty for rich girls to play with. Despite his rich background, the girl imagines her brains on his carpet, indicating her violent thoughts towards him.
In the second verse, the girl meets a stranger in Los Angeles, who offers to lend her 15 dollars for gas money. The girl tells her story of how her card was declined, and her ex-girlfriend was stranded at the airport. Her dad is a nightmare and has started hooking up with her friend from high school. The girl is damaged and is a handful, but she would rather die before going back to their hell hole.
The chorus reflects the themes of these two broken individuals who have learned to hurt the ones they love because nothing is good enough for them. The song is an insightful commentary on the lives of the rich and privileged, ultimately leading them to drug addiction, violence and self-destruction.
