Washing Machine
VANISHING GIRL & Rosemary Fairweather Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know Iโฒm your type
Missing out on something you wanted to find
We're straw-sharing,
Open airing, easy to please
It spins me around like a washing machine
Get it all sweet and exciting
You get it tongue-tied,
Tumble dry, and easy to please
All week, you keep trying
Hey
Look me up and down
Like you want it to last
Give it all you got,
Get like quarters and cash
Cos my imagination is runninโฒ for free
It pays pretty well,
Like a couple of Gs,
Say everybody know it
That the beat don't stop
Nelly like Furtado gotta keep it "Loose"
I don't even know why I would get that drunk
Leave me alone
So you throw it in the wash,
And you fluff until you fold,
I donโฒt think that weโฒre in love
'Til weโฒre sharing all our clothes,
You can take it from the top,
'Til you feel it in your toes
Get it all sweet and exciting
All week, you keep trying
You get it tongue-tied,
Tumble dry, and easy to please
All week, you keep trying
In time
Wash dry
New life
Easy to please
In time
Wash dry
New life
Oh no
Make my heart grow just a little bit fonder
Baby donโฒt go
Stay a little bit
Oh no
Make my heart grow just a little bit fonder
Baby don't go
Stay a little bit longer
Say everybody know it
That the beat donโฒt stop
Nelly like Furtado gotta keep it "Loose"
I don't even know why I would get that drunk
Leave me alone
So you don't know what to wear,
Gotta do another load,
If your closet getting full
You could see it overflow,
Wanna show a little skin,
But you feel a little cold
Washing machine,
We do whatever we like
Bubbles taking over
Kinda make it alright
In time
Wash dry
New life
Get it all sweet and exciting
All week you keep trying
You get it tongue-tied,
Tumble dry, and easy to please
All week you keep trying
Hey
In time
Wash dry
In time
Easy to please
In time
Wash dry
New life
The lyrics of "Vanishing Girl" by Rosemary Fairweather are about a relationship that seems to be fun and carefree but lacks depth and meaning. The singer wants to be the person her partner thinks of when they daydream but feels like they may be missing out on something more fulfilling. The use of metaphors such as "straw-sharing" and "spins me around like a washing machine" further emphasize the idea of a superficial, temporary relationship that is ultimately unfulfilling. The repetition of "all week you keep trying" emphasizes the idea that despite trying to make the relationship work, it doesn't feel genuine, and the singer feels like they are just going through the motions.
The chorus hints at some tension in the relationship as the singer pleads for the other person to stay a little longer. The use of the washing machine as a metaphor for the relationship both represents the cyclical and repetitive nature of the relationship and also serves as a way to show how small, seemingly insignificant things like doing laundry together can make the relationship feel more meaningful. The lines "Bubbles taking over, kinda make it alright" emphasizes this idea that small moments, like bubbles in a washing machine, can make everything feel okay.

I aim to fulfill your ideal partner vision
I know I'm your type
I understand your preferences
Missing out on something you wanted to find
You missed an important discovery
We're straw-sharing, Open airing, easy to please
We share drinks, ideas, and are easily satisfied
It spins me around like a washing machine
It excites and overwhelms me like a washing machine's spin cycle
Get it all sweet and exciting
Make everything lively and enjoyable
All week, you keep trying
You try hard all week
You get it tongue-tied, Tumble dry, and easy to please
You become flustered, dry up, and are easy to satisfy
Look me up and down, Like you want it to last
You examine me closely as if you desire a lasting relationship
Give it all you got
Put in maximum effort
Get like quarters and cash
Gain money and wealth
Cos my imagination is runnin' for free
I let my imagination run wild without any restrictions
It pays pretty well, Like a couple of Gs
It rewards me handsomely, like a significant amount of money
Say everybody know it, That the beat don't stop
Everyone knows that the rhythm continues
Nelly like Furtado gotta keep it 'Loose'
Keep things relaxed and carefree, like Nelly Furtado does
I don't even know why I would get that drunk
I have no idea why I would drunkenly behave in a certain way
Leave me alone
Stop bothering me
So you throw it in the wash, And you fluff until you fold
You put it in the washing machine and make it fluffy before folding it
I don't think that we're in love, 'Til we're sharing all our clothes
I don't believe we're truly in love until we're fully sharing our belongings
You can take it from the top, 'Til you feel it in your toes
You can experience it fully from the beginning until you feel it in your toes
In time, Wash dry, New life, Easy to please
Over time, cleanse and rejuvenate, leading to contentment
Oh no, Make my heart grow just a little bit fonder, Baby don't go, Stay a little bit
Expressing a desire for a relationship to continue and grow stronger
Wanna show a little skin, But you feel a little cold
You want to appear more attractive, but you feel uncomfortable doing so
Washing machine, We do whatever we like
We follow our desires like a washing machine's cycles
Bubbles taking over, Kinda make it alright
The bubbles dominate, but it's still okay
