Vampires
Embrace the Night: Journey into the Vampire's Den
Lyrics
Out in the night
Setting the scene in the night, the beginning of the narrative.
Down with your friends
Suggesting a social context, being with friends.
Come follow them in the vampire’s den
Invitation to join the mysterious world of vampires.
In with the old
Embracing the traditional or established rather than the new.
And out with the new
Rejecting the new, possibly symbolizing innocence or change.
Watch as they suck the blood from you
Metaphorical depiction of vampires draining life or energy.
Look up to the moon and you know it’s too late
Realization of being too late, possibly indicating consequences.
All of your motions are starting to fade
Sensation of losing control or fading away.
Watch as the blood rushes up to your head
Observing the physical effects of the encounter with vampires.
Out through your neck and then leaves you for dead
Graphic portrayal of blood draining and resulting in death.
Help
Repeated pleas for help, emphasizing desperation.

Introduction of the central theme, vampires.
Vampires
-And so you died
Confirmation of death, possibly after encountering vampires.
Out on your own
Isolation and abandonment by friends.
Can’t find your friends, cause they left you alone
Difficulty in finding companionship after the transformation.
As you look up
Observation of vampire fangs, signaling danger.
Those fangs dipped in red
Symbolic interaction with vampires, a dangerous seduction.
Gives you a wink and then follows their steps
Acknowledgment of the transformation, perhaps reluctantly.
Not quite the party you were hoping to find
Disappointment with the reality of the vampire experience.
As you transform into a creature of night
Acceptance of the transformation into a creature of the night.
While you can still hear the flutter of wings
Sensory awareness of surroundings, wings symbolizing the supernatural.
You embrace the darkness and follow your kin
Choosing to embrace the darkness and join other vampires.
Help
Repetition of pleas for help, reinforcing the theme of desperation.
