Dracula
Bea Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tattoos and skinny jeans, black boots and piercings
A public enemy
Not Cinderella, still got my shoes
I like the animal, the supernatural
Maybe I'm crazy but
Are you ready to take that bite?
Hot and hazardous
Like playing with dynamite
Yeah, I want Dracula
Forever be young and wild
Dark and dangerous
Yeah, I love, I love the tragically beautiful
I am a night owl, I've come alive
I'll make the sun go down so I can see you out
Straight to the underground
I like the broken, imperfect rules
That's why you're wonderful, it's undeniable
I might be crazy but
If you were Dracula
Are you ready to take that bite?
Hot and hazardous
Like playing with dynamite
Yeah, I want Dracula
Forever be young and wild
Dark and dangerous
Yeah, I love, I love the tragically beautiful
Only one kiss, only one
Only one kiss, you'll be k-k-k-k-killing me
Only one kiss, only one
Only one kiss, you'll be k-k-k-k-killing me
If you were Dracula
Are you ready to take that bite?
Hot and hazardous
Like playing with dynamite
Yeah, I want Dracula
Forever be young and wild
Dark and dangerous
Yeah I love, I love the tragically beautiful
In the song "Dracula" by Bea Miller, the main character describes themselves as an unconventional individual who stands out from the societal norms. The lyrics "Here is my story, I got my type, Tattoos and skinny jeans, black boots and piercings, A public enemy" allude to the fact that the singer is not someone who conforms to traditional stereotypes or expectations. They may be viewed as a troublemaker or outsider, but they embrace this identity and wear it as a badge of honor. The character then goes on to express their desire for a romanticized version of Dracula, someone who is immortal and dangerous. The lyrics "If you were Dracula, Are you ready to take that bite? Hot and hazardous, Like playing with dynamite" speak to the allure of someone who is thrilling and unpredictable, even if it may put them in danger. The singer longs for the eternal youth and wildness that they perceive in this fictional character, and are drawn to the idea of being caught in his deadly embrace.
The lyrics of "Dracula" and the accompanying music video play with themes of darkness and the supernatural. The character of Dracula is often associated with horror and malevolence, but in this song, his danger is romanticized and even desired. The dark, dramatic tone of the song reinforces this atmosphere, with the lyrics "Yeah, I love, I love the tragically beautiful" summing up the singer's attraction to danger and beauty. Ultimately, the song explores the concept of attraction to the unknown and dangerous, and how it can be both alluring and terrifying.

this song describes me so much cx
people are only hating on her and not liking her music because
it doesnt have love bullshit in it , and because she doesnt have swag
or any kind of thing this generation has. The point is , her music is about the kids
your parents told you not to hang out w the kids who are wild & crazy , shes punk,shes a total bae
young blood should be on the radio 24/7 as bang bang . why is a song about sex on the radio more than
a song that describes the teenagers these days? like young blood , were all young and dumb. we make our own love and luck. why hate on a girl whos just starting to become a great artist,stop being so jealous , start supporting her.
i am her #1 fan tbfh , i fell inlove w her music when i heard it.
ilysm bae <3

I absolutely love how Bea isn't one to follow the flock, if I make any sense. I love that she doesn't follow every other artist's music, she is one of a kind, and I'm praying she doesn't change.

Let me rephrase that.... I like how Bea isn't a follower like other artist, she has her own style and she is original. XxLorenaxX :P
