Song Meaning of “Vampire Kiss” by Stellar Corpses
This song tells a story of a vampire and the thrill he feels when he engages in romantic relationships. The lyrics illustrate his thoughts and feelings about the dangerous yet enthralling situation he has gotten himself into. The first verse paints a picture of the narrator’s fascination with vampire lore and his attraction to the darkness he feels when he’s around his “vampire kiss”. The chorus then captures the intensity of the moment, as he embraces the thrill of being so close to this mysterious creature. The second verse goes on to explore the consequences of his actions and the dark power he is tapping into. He knows his life has changed, but he can’t help feeling electrified by the force that’s at play. The final chorus sums up the song’s core message with the lines, “I’d rather die in a vampire kiss, than a boring old life that’s causing me grief”. The song celebrates the exhilarating power of love even when it comes with a certain level of risk.
