Post Humorous

"Post Humorous", is a single off Gus Dapperton's second studio album, "Orca". "Post Humorous", was released July 1st, 2020.

Meaning
"This song is really my pride and joy and I’m really just so thankful to be able to make music and share it with everyone. This song in particular is about someone who treats life like a joke and death like a victory, and the unstoppable forces around them."

"I don’t always make music to heal my own wounds but when I’m able to do so and reflect on those feelings, it’s a really gratifying feeling. It’s really gratifying to lock those demons away in a sonic form and access them at will whenever I want, whenever I wanna go back and learn from the person I was back then. I hope that by sharing this music it can heal others too."

Lyrics
Old friend

It's me and you again

And old boy

As me and you rejoice

Yeah, I can’t help thinkin' 'bout the way we joked

In those funeral homes, yeah, I could only hope it was appropriate

So make me laugh

As for my last request

If I don’t take it back

Would you ignore my last request?

Oh, would you make me laugh?

As for my last request

Babe, I won't make it back

Yeah, I am sure there's nothing left

But as a, a reminder

Ready when you find her

I repress the iridescence of a fire

And won't you mind him?

Steady when you find him

I confess the incandescence of a dying light

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Consume me through the night

Old man

I'm done always abiding by the plan

And old boy

We knew you really never had a choice

But I can't help thinkin' 'bout the way we loved

I was cancer then, now I can hardly come to terms

Losing her

So would you make me laugh?

As for my last request

Babe, I won’t make it back

Yeah, I am sure there’s nothing left

But as a, a reminder

Ready when you find her

I repress the iridescence of a fire

And won't you mind him?

Steady when you find him

I confess the incandescence of a dying light

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Consume me through the night

Oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh)

If I was the king of the thing, then you could have it all

If you lied and called me your queen, then you could have the dogs

If I was the swingingest thing, then you could have a ball

Show me one more effort, boy, you know that I could make it better

If I was the king of the thing, then you could have it all

If you lied and called me your queen, then you could have the dogs

And if I was the only thing you couldn’t bear to lose

I'd set fire to the wood just so you wouldn't have to bury me too

A reminder

Ready when you find her

I repress the iridescence of a fire

And won't you mind him?

Steady when you find him

I confess the incandescence of a dying light

A reminder

Ready when you find her

I repress the iridescence of a fire

And won’t you mind him?

Steady when you find him

I confess the incandescence of a dying light

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Consume me through the night

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Consume me through the night
