Pretty People Never Lie Vampires Never Really Die
I Am Ghost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look how you've grown, it's etched in skin and bone?Dressed in make-up and bleached out in the roses?That's hollow and tasteless
Where spirits make love and pretty corpses hold their brides?
Do you know I'd never hurt you??So taste it and we'll never be alone?I'll take the first bite, yeah, I am ghost?Say goodnight to you,
My darlin', my darlin'?
Few words can kill me, they inspire in your hands?The sun outside their glass-shaped walls will burn the flesh off paper dolls?My lips and tongue, they bleed...
?We won't fall, we'll be together, just the two of us?That's hollow and breathless?It kills me slowly, lost and lonely?
Do you know I'd never hurt you??Taste it and we'll never be alone?I'll take the first bite, yeah, I am ghost?Say goodnight to you,
My darlin', my darlin'
?I am so sorry, so sorry, sorry
So take this rose?And break this bottle of aged pills?Taste the blue ones, we'll sleep through December.?
Awake to the birth of an Angel, she has your eyes?And I will hide from them, don't worry?Soon she will grow, I can't believe this is all my fault?Yeah, soon she will grow.?Unbury me and put me back together again.?
Taste it!?Taste it!?Sad rose for life because I'm already dead!?
Taste it and we'll never be alone?I'll take the first bite, yeah, I am ghost?Say goodnight to you,
My darlin', my darlin'





Taste it and we'll never be alone?I'll take the first bite, yeah, I am ghost?Say goodnight to you...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Pretty People Never Lie Vampires Never Really Die" by I Am Ghost are quite cryptic and can be open to various interpretations. One possible interpretation is that the song is about a vampire and a mortal falling in love. The vampire is trying to convince the mortal that being with them would never harm the mortal and they could share an eternal life together. The line, "That's hollow and breathless," could represent the idea that immortality may feel hollow and unfulfilling, as the vampire has seen many people die while they continue to live on.


The lines, "Awake to the birth of an Angel, she has your eyes," could represent the idea that the vampire has impregnated the mortal and is now worried about the future of their child. The line, "Unbury me and put me back together again," could represent the idea that the vampire wants to be human so that they can give their child a normal life.


Overall, the song seems to be about the struggle between life and death, with the vampire offering eternal life while feeling the weight of immortality, and the mortal being tempted by immortality but ultimately choosing the finite life they have.
