Dragula
Rob Zombie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dead I am the one
Exterminating son
Slipping through the trees
Strangling the breeze
Dead I am the sky
Watching angels cry
While they slowly turn
Conquering the worm

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!
Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Dead I am the pool
Spreading from the fool
Weak and what you need
Nowhere as you bleed
Dead I am the rat
Feast upon the cat
Tender is the fur
Dying as you purr

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!
Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Do it baby, do it baby
Do it baby, do it baby
Burn like an animal

Dead I am the dog
Hound of hell you cry
Devil on your back
I can never die
I can never die
I can never die
I can never die
I can never die
I can never die
I can never die
I can never die
I can never die
I can never die
I can never die
I can never die

Do it baby, do it baby
Do it baby, do it baby
Burn like an animal

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!
Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!
Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rob Zombie's "Dragula" appear to be a celebration of violence and mayhem, couched in the framework of superstition, fear, and jealousy. Throughout the song, Zombie sings of himself as death personified, stalking his prey through the trees and feasting on the flesh of rats and cats. He describes himself as the "Hound of Hell," with the devil on his back, and portrays himself as an unstoppable force, immune to death or injury. The chorus, which repeats the lines "dig through the ditches, and burn through the witches," seems to be an invitation to his fans to join him in his macabre world, to embrace the dark side and revel in the chaos and destruction it brings.


Despite its violent imagery, "Dragula" has become one of Rob Zombie's most popular and enduring songs. Its driving beat and catchy chorus have made it a favorite on rock radio and in live performances, and the song's popularity has only grown in the years since its release. Some fans have interpreted the lyrics as a metaphor for the struggles of everyday life, with Zombie using the image of death and destruction to express his frustration with the world around him.


Line by Line Meaning

Dead I am the one, exterminating son
I am the bringer of death and destruction, an unstoppable force


Slipping through the trees, strangling the breeze
I move silently and ominously, causing fear and dread


Dead I am the sky, watching angels cry
I am the embodiment of darkness, relishing in the pain and suffering of others


While they slowly turn, conquering the worm
I watch as even the most powerful beings succumb to my power, I am invincible


Dig through the ditches
I search for hidden truths and secrets that others fear to uncover


And burn through the witches
I will destroy those who oppose me, with no mercy or compassion


I slam in the back of my Dragula!
I ride with fury and rage, crushing anything in my path with my powerful vehicle


Dead I am the pool, spreading from the fool
I am the source of contamination, corrupting everything and everyone around me


Weak and what you need, nowhere as you bleed
I prey on the weak and vulnerable, taking everything that they have to offer and leaving them with nothing


Dead I am the rat, feast upon the cat
I am ruthless and savage, preying on even the most fearsome creatures for my own sustenance


Tender is the fur, dying as you purr
Even those who seem untouchable are no match for me, I take pleasure in their suffering


Dead I am the life, dig into the skin
I am a force of death, penetrating the deepest parts of the living


Knuckle crack the bone, twenty-one to win
I am a ruthless competitor, willing to do whatever it takes to come out on top


Dead I am the dog, "Hound of Hell", you cry
I am relentless and merciless, taking no prisoners as I conquer all who stand in my way


Devil on your back, I can never die
I will always be there, lurking in the shadows and ready to strike at any moment


Do it baby, do it baby
Embrace your own darkness, let it consume you and become one with me


(And burn like an animal)
Let your primal instincts take over, and join me in causing chaos and destruction
