vampire
Kat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting here, lonely tomb
How many years have I been so doomed?
No use to think it's been so long
Centuries have come and gone
Yet I still await here for something more to give me back the thrill
Pointless to think of a purpose here
If only I could kill
Never thought life would be so cold
Once I was a king now I'm all alone
So here's to the lonely hearts cause mine is beating still
Will this curse ever end?

A trail of blood across the ground
Another mortal Ive feasted on
Though not for fun, just to survive
Blood no longer tastes like wine
Many a time have I tried to starve
But it never seems to work
Nor can I will myself to stay outside
And burn beneath the light

Sleep the day, stalk the night
Drink the blood, fear the light
Kill again, hate my ways
Kill myself so hard to say

So Ill go on rotting on through the years




Until this curse is done
Or maybe I'll someday had enough and step beneath the sun

This has an unexplainable timeless sound, neat voice too! Sounds like an 80's song with a smooth gothic edge!!

Empress Ri

It sounds like they sampled Yarbrough & Peoples - Don't Stop The Music

Yeah I was automatically supportive and so happy for her.. but this? She's repeatedly saying she doesn't care about what's wrong or what's right. Lol

Andrew Durfee

👀 discernment 👀
God's Word says Rebellion is the SAME as witchcraft & stubbornness is the SAME as Idolitry...but if you don't care what's wrong or right it won't matter to you
1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

Kat herself describes the track as a vibey, goth-disco jam about our desire for eternal love

Luis Alejandro Munoz

Sure that's what she means.

Lethargo

That's what I thought at first sight, a dark diso-ish vibe.

Valerie Blackthorn

That's not goth. Sounds Pop.
