Song Meaning of “Transilvanian Cunthunger” by Electric Callboy
This song is about the ways in which technology, social media, and the digital age have begun to consume our lives and lead to a feeling of alienation in society. It speaks to our nostalgic longing for the days when the world was more in tune with nature and people could truly connect with one another in the physical world, rather than only through their devices. The lyrics of the song are dark and mystical, but ultimately it reads as a warning to be mindful of the effects of how this digital world has isolated us from the real and natural world. The song’s repetitive chorus line warns us to “beware, the Transylvanian cunthunger’s coming” , referring to the very thing that is consuming us. The overall message is to cherish the moments of real connection, while still recognizing the importance of technology in order to stay connected in a modern world.
