Lovecraft
The Vaselines Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kill your friends,
Light your feet,
Do what I want,
Lovecraft.

Kiss your mouth,
Burn your hair,
Do what I want,
Lovecraft.

Blow your man,
Do what I want,
Taste your lip,
Lovecraft.

Pic your time,
Do what I want,




Do what I want,
Lovecraft.

Overall Meaning

The Vaselines's Lovecraft is a song that is open for interpretation and can be seen as controversial due to its lyrics. The lyrics like "Kill your friends," "Blow your man," "Kiss your mouth," are disturbing and seem violent, but the song is actually a twisted love song. The song is essentially about being obsessed with someone, to the point where the singer wants complete control over the other person. The Lovecraft mentioned in the chorus here could be author H.P. Lovecraft, famous for his horror and sci-fi stories that often had themes of control, obsession, and madness.


The lyrics could also be interpreted as a commentary on the toxic nature of obsession in relationships. The control and possessiveness in the lyrics are the opposite of what a healthy relationship should be, and it's clear that the singer is not in a sound state of mind. The line "Do what I want" is repeated throughout the song, suggesting that the singer craves power over the other person, which is not healthy.
