You Raised A Vampire
The Moog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got to be tough
To stand the arrows of your pride
And the fears that you hide
I am the loneliest when you are around
But I need to survive
I need to survive
So I choose the lies
So you can't see that you are to blame
You Raised A Vampire!
You Raised A Vampire!
You Raised A Vampire!
You Raised A Vampire!
You Raised A Vampire!
You Raised A Vampire!
You Raised A Vampire!
You Raised A Vampire!
Wish this dawn was just mine
The sun couldn't find and stab her oh so quietly
Soon blind soldiers will come
And run through me
In the name of life and fury
But I need to survive
I need to survive
So I choose the nights
Where all the doubtful souls dance for me
Where I'm the leader in this bodeful spree
You Raised A Vampire!
The Moog's song "You Raised A Vampire" is a haunting tale of a person struggling to survive in a toxic and oppressive environment. The lyrics are filled with powerful and evocative imagery that speaks to the feelings of isolation, fear, and shame experienced by those who have been pushed to the fringes of society. The first verse sets the tone for the entire song, with the singer acknowledging the challenges they face in standing up to the person who has raised them. Despite feeling alone and vulnerable, they know that they need to be strong and resilient if they are going to survive.
The chorus is a powerful statement of the singer's identity, as they declare that they have become something dark and dangerous as a result of their upbringing. The repeated line "You Raised A Vampire!" is a stark reminder that the person they have become is a direct result of the trauma and abuse they have endured. The second verse takes on a more existential tone, with the singer wishing for a world where they could escape the pain and violence that surrounds them. They know that they cannot rely on anyone else to save them, and instead choose to embrace their darkness and revel in it.
Overall, "You Raised A Vampire" is a deeply emotional and introspective song that speaks to the struggles of those who have been forced to confront their own demons. It is a haunting reminder that sometimes the only way to survive in a cruel and uncaring world is to become something dangerous and powerful.

Oh, I've got to be strong
I need to be emotionally resilient
I've got to be tough
I have to be powerful
To stand the arrows of your pride
To endure the effects of your arrogance
And the fears that you hide
And to bear the burden of your hidden fears
I am the loneliest when you are around
I feel the most isolated when you are close
But I need to survive
But I must persist
I need to survive
I must continue existing
So I choose the lies
So I will select deception
So/And you can't see my love wrapped in shame
So that you won't see my affection concealed in guilt
So you can't see that you are to blame
Therefore, you won't notice your actions are responsible for the current situation
You Raised A Vampire!
You created a person who feeds on others emotionally and requires deception to survive
Wish this dawn was just mine
I desire solitude
The sun couldn't find and stab her oh so quietly
I wish to avoid the harsh realities of life
Soon blind soldiers will come
Eventually, I will face adversity
And run through me
And it will overwhelm me
In the name of life and fury
In the guise of vitality and anger
Where all the doubtful souls dance for me
Where lost people seek solace with me as their guide
Where I'm the leader in this bodeful spree
Where I am the main figure in this dark celebration
