9mm Parabellum Bullet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ヒロインみたいに
君が近付けばそこに
不運は舞い込んでくる
顔よりデカい
ティアドロップのサングラスは
涙だけじゃなく
治す気もない不眠症も隠してんだろ
夜明けまで 踊るのさ
アタマからっぽにしな
闇に浮かぶ輝きが
ひとつ、ふたつ、みっつ、よっつ
それは２つの牙と２つの眼
そんな物騒なもの
早く隠したほうがいい
お前だってとっくに
神の十字架に縛られてんだ
You're Vampiregirl
夜明けまで まだあるぜ
おれをからっぽにしな
悪夢まがいの現実の中で
夢を見られるなら
You're Vampiregirl すべて
You're Vampiregirl 差し出して
You're Vampiregirl かまわない
You're Vampiregirl
夜明けまで まだあるぜ
おれをからっぽにしな
You're Vampiregirl
夜明けまで 踊るのさ
アタマからっぽにしな
悪夢まがいの現実の中で
夢見続けるのさ
You're Vampiregirl すべて
You're Vampiregirl 差し出しな
You're Vampiregirl お前も
The lyrics of "Vampiregirl" by 9mm Parabellum Bullet describe a girl who is compared to a horror movie heroine. The singer warns that if she comes closer, bad luck will follow. The girl wears teardrop-shaped sunglasses that hide not only tears but also her insomnia that she doesn't intend to cure. Her beauty is likened to a sparkle floating in the darkness, but she also has two fangs and two eyes that may seem dangerous, so the singer suggests that she should hide them before it's too late. The chorus repeats that the girl is a vampire, and she will dance until dawn, even in a reality that feels like a nightmare.
The lyrics suggest that the girl is a metaphor for someone who is alluring yet harmful. The sunglasses represent her facade of being fine when she's really not. The fangs and eyes imply that she has hidden aspects that can harm others, but she refuses to change. The singer seems to be attracted to her despite the danger and accepts that he will be emptied out until dawn. The repeated phrase "You're Vampiregirl" implies that the girl cannot escape from who she is, and she should accept it.
