1. Co… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists under the name of Creature Feature:
1. Comprised of the vicious vampiric vocalist Curtis RX and the ghoulishly fiendish organ master Erik X, the California native horror attraction Creature feature is set to take the underworld by storm. Creating a haunting mix of vintage horror visuals, old school beats, a carnival feel and a strangely rebellious approach to the modern ideals, the two monstrous musicians weave tales of the macabre, creating anthems for the horror minded and horror born alike. Tread carefully and enter their world cautiously, for once their talons are in they are a cancer you can't get out.
2. Another band with the same name that formed in the 90s and have released one album - Retrodemon 263 - and disappeared after its release.
Corpse In My Bed
Creature Feature Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
I couldn't let her repose underground
A feast for worms inside her burial mound
Consecrated by the powers above
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
The lyrics of Creature Feature's "Corpse In My Bed" are a graphic and unsettling exploration of necrophilia, the sexual attraction to corpses. The singer asks whether it is wrong to have a corpse in their bed and justifies their behavior by stating that the corpse has been dead for some time. They describe their fear of being alone and how they could not let the corpse be buried below ground, instead opting to keep it in their bed. The power of religion is referenced as the corpse is consecrated by the "powers above." The only thing the singer seems to dislike is the perfume the corpse wears, which is a mix of rancid milk and moldy pears.
The lyrics provide a disturbing insight into the mind of someone with a necrophilia fetish, normalizing their behavior as an expression of loneliness and claiming that it is not a crime to have a corpse in their bed. The image of a corpse being kept in a bed for years, becoming dry and dusty and a potential fire hazard, adds to the horror of the situation. While the song is clearly intended to be taken as fictional horror, it delves into an uncomfortable and taboo subject matter.
