Over at the Frankenstein Place
Susan Sarandon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of the blackest night,
Burning bright,
There's a guiding star
No matter what or who you are
There's a light
There's a light
(Burning in the fireplace)
There's a light, light, in the darkness of everybody's life
The darkness must go down the river of night's dreaming
Flow morphia slow, let the sun and light come streaming
Into my life Into my life
Into my life Into my life
There's a light
(Over at the Frankenstein place)
There's a light
(Burning in the fireplace)
(There's a light, a light)
In the darkness of everybody's life
The lyrics of Susan Sarandon's song "Over at the Frankenstein Place" speak of a guiding light that shines through even the darkest times. The opening stanza paints a picture of a world shrouded in darkness, but amidst it all, there is a bright star that acts as a beacon of hope.

The next stanza continues this theme, suggesting that the darkness must give way to the light. The use of the metaphorical river of night's dreaming and the mention of morphia, a drug used for inducing sleep, further reinforce this idea of letting go of darkness and allowing light to come streaming in. The final repetition of the phrase "into my life" serves as a plea, a call to action to embrace whatever light may be available in order to overcome any obstacles.
Overall, the lyrics of "Over at the Frankenstein Place" speak to the universal human experience of struggling through difficult times and seeking out even the smallest glimmers of hope to guide us through.

In the velvet darkness,
of the darkest night,
burning bright,
there's a guiding star,
no matter what or who you are.
chorus:
there's a light (over at the frankenstein place)
there's a light (burning in the fireplace)
theres a light, light, in the darkness of everybody's night.
The darkness must go
down the river
of night's dreaming
Flow morphius slow,
let the sun and light come straeming,
into my life
into my life
(repeat chorus)

Riff raff has a gorgeous voice, i love how gracefully it shifts from a male key to a female key, I think thats an added bonus about being a transylvanian transvestite alien, having amazing vocal chords!
