A Corpse In My Bed
Creature Feature Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it wrong to have a corpse in my bed
I don't think so, even if she is dead
Is it disturbing, is it a crime
She's been expired for quite some time

Couldn't let her repose underground
A feast for worms inside her burial mound
Consecrated by the powers above
We fit like a severed hand in glove

My only complaint's the perfume she wears
A mix of rancid milk and moldy pears
I'm just scared, don't want to be alone
Even if she's just skin and bone

Her skin is dry and body full of dust
One day I'm afraid she just might combust
I could never think of leaving her side
Even though it's been years since she died

My only complaint's the perfume she wears
A mix of rancid milk and moldy pears
I'm just scared, don't want to be alone
Even if she's just skin and bone

Let me reiterate what has been said
Is it really that wrong to have a corpse in my bed




I'm just scared, don't want to be alone
Even if she's just skin and bone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Creature Feature's "A Corpse In My Bed" depict the disturbing and perverse eroticism of necrophilia. The singer of the song, who appears to be the singer, expresses his attraction towards a deceased woman and his desire to keep her in his bed. He sincerely believes that it is not wrong, despite the fact that it could be considered disturbing and a crime. He fears being alone more than anything, and his obsession with the corpse is the only thing that can keep him company, even though her body is full of dust and might combust one day.


The song's lyrics suggest that the singer is a disturbed and lonely person, who has a perverse relationship with death. The fact that he speaks of the corpse as though it is still alive and able to fulfill his desires implies that he may suffer from a mental illness or a psychotic disorder. The line "We fit like a severed hand in glove" suggests that he views the corpse as a companion rather than a lifeless object.


While the song's lyrics certainly delve into dark and disturbing subjects, the song itself is actually quite upbeat and catchy, with a playful melody that contrasts with the macabre lyrics. The juxtaposition between the cheerful tune and the morbid lyrics adds an extra layer of unsettling ambiguity to the song.

Is it wrong to have a corpse in my bed
I question whether having a corpse in my bed is considered incorrect


I don't think so, even if she is dead
In my opinion, it is fine despite her lack of life

I wonder if it is troublesome or illegal


She's been expired for quite some time
It's been a while since her demise


Couldn't let her repose underground
I couldn't bear to leave her buried in the dirt


A feast for worms inside her burial mound
That would just make her into a meal for the insects in her grave

I have secured her place by calling upon a higher power


We fit like a severed hand in glove

Her skin is dry, and her body is covered in dust


One day I'm afraid she just might combust
I fear that she may ignite and turn to ash one day


I could never think of leaving her side
Abandoning her is not an option for me


Even though it's been years since she died
Even if it's been years since her passing


Let me reiterate what has been said
Allow me to emphasize what was already mentioned


Is it really that wrong to have a corpse in my bed
Is it genuinely an immoral act to have a cadaver in my bed?


I'm just scared, don't want to be alone
I'm just frightened of being by myself


Even if she's just skin and bone
Though she is no more than bones and flesh
