The band consists of Ezra Koenig (vocals, guitar), Chris Baio (bass) and Christopher Tomson (drums). Rostam Batmanglij has left the band in early 2016 to begin solo career, but will continue to collaborate with Ezra. The band has released four albums: "Vampire Weekend" (2008), "Contra" (2010)","Modern Vampires of the City" (2013) and "Father of the Bride" (2019). The band has gained positive comparisons to such artists as Paul Simon, Haircut 100 and The Walkmen.

Vampire Weekend received much buzz from local blogs throughout 2007 during their rise to a record deal with indie label XL Recordings. Rolling Stone placed Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa at number 57 for the top 100 songs of 2007.

The band's debut album, "Vampire Weekend" was released on January 28. 2008. It was a surprise success, peaking at #17 on the Billboard 200.

Their second album "Contra" was released on January 12, 2010. It contains the single "Cousins". The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, only the 12th independently released and distributed album to achieve such a feat.

They are self-proclaimed "specialists in the following styles: 'Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa', 'Upper West Side Soweto', 'Campus', and 'Oxford Comma Riddim.'"

The name "Vampire Weekend" comes from a movie that Ezra Koenig made in the summer of his freshman year at college. You can watch the trailer on Youtube, here.

How Long
Vampire Weekend Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tough choice, don't make me laugh
My life's a joke
Your life's a gas
You broke my heart at midnight mass
Now I'm the ghost of Christmas past
The only choice you gave to me
Is one, I took reluctantly
'Cause when we play democracy

You always take immunity

How long 'til we sink to the bottom of the sea?
How long, how long?
How long 'til we sink and it's only you and me?
How long, how long?

What's the point of getting clean?
You'll wear the same old dirty jeans
What's the point of being seen?
Those eyes are cruel, those eyes are mean
What's the point of human beings?
A sharpie face on tangerines
Why's it felt like Halloween
Since Christmas 2017?

How long, how long?
How long 'til we sink and it's only you and me?
How long, how long?

Getting to the top
Wasn't supposed to be this hard
The house is on Mulholland Drive
The car's on Sunset Boulevard
The registration's here with me
But neither of us has the key
We can live down in the flats
The hills will fall eventually

How long 'til we sink to the bottom of the sea?
How long, how long?

How long 'til we sink and it's only you and me?
How long, how long?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Vampire Weekend's song "How Long" convey a sense of disillusionment and frustration with life and relationships. The opening lines set the tone, portraying the singer's life as a joke and expressing disappointment in someone who broke their heart. The mention of midnight mass and being the ghost of Christmas past adds a layer of melancholy and nostalgia to the song.

The lyrics speak to a lack of choice and agency, with the singer reluctantly accepting the limited options presented to them. The reference to playing democracy and always taking immunity suggests a power imbalance and an unfairness in the dynamics of the relationship.

The chorus raises existential questions about the longevity of relationships and the ultimate fate of individuals. The sinking to the bottom of the sea is a metaphorical representation of reaching a low point, where it feels like there are only two people left. It speaks to a sense of isolation and a loss of hope.

The second verse continues to explore the futility of certain actions and choices. Getting clean and seen are presented as pointless endeavors, with the suggestion that appearing a certain way or conforming to societal expectations offers no real value. The lyrics also touch on the superficiality of human existence, comparing it to a sharpie face on tangerines.

The final verse introduces a contrast between the difficulties of reaching success and the transient nature of material possessions. The reference to Mulholland Drive and Sunset Boulevard, iconic locations in Los Angeles, suggests a struggle to achieve success in the entertainment industry. The metaphor of the car's registration being present but lacking the key symbolizes the inability to fully access or benefit from what's seemingly theirs.

Line by Line Meaning

Tough choice, don't make me laugh
The decision was difficult, so it's amusing that you think it was easy

My life's a joke
My existence is a comical and absurd situation

Your life's a gas
Your existence is exciting and enjoyable

You broke my heart at midnight mass
You caused me profound emotional pain during a significant religious ceremony

Now I'm the ghost of Christmas past
I am a lingering memory of previous joyful experiences, reminiscent of a classic tale

The only choice you gave to me
You only offered me one option

Is one, I took reluctantly
I accepted it hesitantly

'Cause when we play democracy
During our attempts at a fair decision-making process

You always take immunity
You always escape the consequences or responsibility

How long 'til we sink to the bottom of the sea?
How much time will pass until we reach a point of complete failure or demise?

What's the point of getting clean?
Why bother trying to improve ourselves?

You'll wear the same old dirty jeans
You'll continue to display your unchanging, flawed nature

What's the point of being seen?
Why should we strive for attention or recognition?

Those eyes are cruel, those eyes are mean
Your gaze holds malice and unkindness

What's the point of human beings?
Why do we even exist as a species?

A sharpie face on tangerines
Our appearances are just superficial and artificial

Why's it felt like Halloween since Christmas 2017?
It has felt like a never-ending season of fright and deception since a specific date

Getting to the top wasn't supposed to be this hard
It wasn't expected that reaching success would be so challenging

The house is on Mulholland Drive
The residence is located on a famous street associated with luxury and glamour

The car's on Sunset Boulevard
The vehicle is situated on another renowned street known for its prominence

The registration's here with me
I possess the necessary documents

But neither of us has the key
Nevertheless, neither of us has the means to access it

We can live down in the flats
We can reside in a less prestigious area

The hills will fall eventually
Over time, the elevated and extravagant areas will decline or lose their appeal

How long 'til we sink to the bottom of the sea?
How much time will pass until we reach a point of complete failure or demise?

How long 'til we sink and it's only you and me?
How much time will pass until there are only the two of us left, facing the consequences?

Umay The song is about a break up! The “why it feels like Halloween since Christmas 2017” means that he’s been having a rough year (2018) and it “feels like Halloween”, you can tell that maybe their relationship started to go down hill on December or maybe they broked up on December, but even if you’re not going through the exact same thing the line is quite relatable.

It's because this album uses ALL of their styles they've used previously. The prior trilogy of albums each one had a specific tone and locational sound they were trying to be consistent with from beginning to end.. This album takes from all three of those albums and does a ton of new stuff without staying as a single consistent sound from beginning to end. You get a bit of everything that made them Vampire Weekend.

part of the feel is the dark lyrics combined with light pop-y music. That's kind of been a theme on this album I've noticed.

It is true. You incarnate on a planet and get treated like trash. Wouldn't matter if you're a good person, further worsens the treatment. Who was holding the middle finger to who's face? Strange.
