Vampire Smile
Vampire Smile: Intoxicating Desires and Broken Love
Lyrics
Baby you need to leave,
Feeling the need for separation, suggesting a challenging situation.
'Cause I'm getting drunk on your noble deeds.
Intoxicated by the admirable actions of the person, possibly causing emotional confusion.
It doesn't matter that they don't get done,
Indifference towards uncompleted tasks, as the emotional state takes precedence.
When I feel this cold they're like the fucking sun.
Despite tasks being unfinished, the emotional coldness is overwhelming, making them as significant as the sun.
Baby I need a friend,
Expressing a desire for companionship, despite having a dark and potentially dangerous nature.
But I'm a vampire smile, you'll meet a sticky end.
Aware of the destructive potential in the relationship, foreshadowing a negative outcome.
I'm here trying not to bite your neck,
Struggling to resist harmful actions, acknowledging the beauty that may lead to succumbing.
But it's beautiful and I'm gonna get
Expressing a determination to indulge in the tempting but potentially harmful behavior.
So drunk on you and kill your friends.
Intending to be heavily influenced by the person and causing harm to others in the process.
You'll need me and we can be obsessed.
Predicting a mutual obsession and dependence on each other.
And I can touch your hair and taste your skin,
Describing intimacy and the desire to experience the physical presence of the person.
The ghosts won't matter 'cause we'll hide in sin.
Embracing a life of sin, with ghosts symbolizing past troubles that won't matter in this forbidden connection.
Baby you have a choice,
Presenting a choice, emphasizing the impact of the person's enchanting voice.
'Cause you burn my ears with your magic voice.
Identifying vulnerability, being easily torn apart, and foreseeing a toxic relationship.
I'm a paper doll, you can tear me up,
Acceptance of a broken relationship with the metaphor of being paper dolls torn up.
We'll be the broken lovers with the poison cup.
Embracing the idea of being lovers with a poisonous connection.
And we'll draw in breaths like we don't have air,
Symbolizing the act of breathing as if life is running out, questioning the partner's concern.
Oh god, look at me, don't you even care
Expressing desperation for attention and care, highlighting the dire situation.
That I'm dying in the cupboard underneath the stairs?
Conveying a sense of isolation and suffering, hidden away and ignored.
Steps stamp on above my head.
Physical evidence of people moving forward while the speaker is stuck and suffering.
Baby you're cruel to me,
Acknowledging the partner's cruelty but finding pleasure in the pain.
But you see I love it when you make me plead.
Expressing a desire for a lasting mark of the partner's actions but recognizing the need for wisdom.
I want a scar that looks just like you,
Longing for a lasting reminder in the form of a scar resembling the partner.
'Til then I gotta learn to be a wiser fool.
Acknowledging the need to learn and become wiser to avoid further harm.
Baby you need to leave,
Repeating the need for separation, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
And I know you know
Recognizing that the partner is aware of the need for separation, leading to avoidance.
That's why you keep ignoring me
Highlighting the partner's intentional ignorance as a means of avoiding the inevitable.
Because if you don't,
Warning of the consequences if the partner continues to ignore the need for separation.
Gonna run me down, let myself go
Expressing a sense of surrender and letting go if the partner doesn't take action.
