Wet Dream

Rhian Teasdale directs many of her lyrics on Wet Leg's eponymous debut album towards former boyfriends. This song is about an ex who sent her intrusive texts after she appeared in his wet dreams.

The chorus references an Instagram account called beam_me_up_softboi. Beam me up Count me in Three, two, one Let's begin Here we go Beam_me_up_softboi is filled with posts and screenshots by and about "softbois," a less masculine boy who is in touch with his emotions. Often outfitted in pastels or egirl type clothes, softbois are into art and culture. Genuinely kind, but master manipulators, they use their tender traits as currency to pick up girls. Teasdale portrays her ex in this song as a softboi. "It's got a little bit of my own personal breakup injected into it," she told Apple Music. "This particular person would message me since we'd broken up being like, 'Oh, I had a dream about you. I dreamt that we were married,' even though it was definitely over. So I guess that's why I decided to set it within a dream: It was kind of making fun of this particular message that would keep coming through to me."

Teasdale's ex shows his artistic good taste when he propositions her with a night in with "Buffalo '66 on DVD." Buffalo '66 is a comedy crime drama starring Vincent Gallo and Christine Ricci.
