Goosebumps
Lemon Demon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To the girl who cried monster
It′s me, the ghost next door
I think I'm in deep trouble
You′re the one I'm dying for

Every night in Terror Tower
I meet you in a dream
I say that you can't scare me
But in my heart I scream

You give me goosebumps
Goosebumps
Honey, beware, you′re in for a scare
Oh no

Beneath the haunted mask I wear
My eyes light up for you
I feel you in my monster blood
Am I in your monster blood too?

The scarecrow walks at midnight
But I walk all alone
Up and down the ghost beach
Where I found your bones

You give me goosebumps
Goosebumps
Goosebumps
Goosebumps
Goosebumps
Goosebumps




Honey, beware, you′re in for a scare
Oh no

Overall Meaning

In Lemon Demon's song "Goosebumps," the lyrics tell a story that incorporates various elements and references from the popular children's horror book series, Goosebumps, by R.L. Stine. The song is a clever and playful tribute to the series, weaving together the titles of multiple Goosebumps books into a narrative about unrequited love and eerie encounters.


The lyrics start with the singer addressing the "girl who cried monster," referring to the book titled "The Girl Who Cried Monster." Then, the singer reveals themselves as the "ghost next door," a nod to another book called "The Ghost Next Door." This sets the stage for their declaration of being deeply infatuated and smitten with the girl, making them willing to face any scare for her.


The following lines incorporate more Goosebumps book titles, such as "Terror Tower," "Haunted Mask," "Monster Blood," "Scarecrow Walks at Midnight," and "Ghost Beach." These references are cleverly integrated into the lyrics, creating a sense of mystery and nostalgia for those familiar with the books. The singer expresses their longing for the girl and how she gives them "goosebumps," highlighting the thrilling and spooky nature of their attraction.

this song really has no business being as romantic as it is, because it's just goosebumps titles. but it is, and i love it.

Cosima G. H. Wind

(I'm late I know)
This somehow feels connected to no eyed girl, just the romantic paired with supernatural

post-office

Only Neil Cicierega could make a song like this. No-one else is Cicieregan enough.

@Stellar hey, keep following your dreams!! i know one day you'll be just like neil, just keep believing in yourself and it'll happen

Stellar

I would love to emulate his style one day and be just like him. But for now I am a 13 year old who can't play keyboard, One day I will be a true Cicieregan.

Kaino-Phoeno

@soupisfornoobs no she is. Just not through music. She uses her power for her illustrations as to not harm potential ghosts and spirits who have no ears.

@Raymond [Deactivated] you'll need to be pretty good at figuring out how to make it work.
