Washing Machine
VANISHING GIRL & Rosemary Fairweather Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try to be your daydream,
I know Iโ€ฒm 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
All week, you keep trying
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 runninโ€ฒ 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 donโ€ฒt think that weโ€ฒre in love
'Til weโ€ฒre 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 donโ€ฒt 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 donโ€ฒt 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

Overall Meaning

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.
