This is Halloween
Jared Dines Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright

It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise

'Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll
Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, and slimy green

Aren't you scared?
Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice

Ride with the moon in the dead of night
Everybody scream, everybody scream
In our town of Halloween!
I am the clown with the tear-away face

Here in a flash and gone without a trace
I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night

Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Trick or treat

Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween

In this town
Don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back

And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everybody scream
Won't ya please make way for a very special guy
Our man Jack is King of the Pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King, now!

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song




La la la la la la la la la la (Halloween! Halloween!)
La la la la la la la la la la (Halloween! Halloween!)

Like i showed the new video of the show jared put on to one of my friends and I wanted them to see austins performance because dear god does he give it his all in his performances. My homie straight up was like no turn that off right now that dude is scaring me man.

@WillAHWarpath

@@madhatter9512 what would that video be?

@madhatter9512

@@WillAHWarpath 5 amazing underground metal bands (2019) on jareds channel. I honestly think its just the way he screams that scares people. You can tell he has good form but during his performance in that video you can hear the emotion he puts into it. Like when he screamed why can't you be like the rest of the world it just hits so damn hard. Hell his variety makes people as uncomfortable as king diamon or merciful fate. His voice sounds like the asylum in hell basically
