Dracula's Tango
Total Coelo Lyrics

The moon was shining in the night
The setting was picturesque - the moon cast its soft light on the scene, highlighting the creatures that lurked in the shadows.

The hounds were baying under simple stars
The baying of the hounds could be heard in the distance, as they howled at the starry night sky, creating an eerie atmosphere.

And as you storm under the lights
As you move into the spotlight, the scene shifts and the focus is now on you, as the singer.

I knew my heart would be at stake
I realized that my heart would be in danger if I fell under your spell or gave in to your charms.

Am I just another victim?
I often feel powerless to your charms, questioning myself if I am just like all the others who have fallen for you.

'Cause I never can resist him
I always find myself unable to resist you, no matter how hard I try.

Oh don't, don't go
I wish that you would stay, not wanting to let go of the rush, excitement and infatuation that you bring into my life.

You're gentle touch
Your touch is subtle and delicate, yet it has a strong effect on me, luring me into your world of darkness and intrigue.

Is what I need so much and
I crave your touch and the sense of intimacy that it brings to my life, making me want to be closer to you.

Dracula la la I'm a sucker for your love
The persona acknowledges that they are helpless against the attraction of Dracula, hence the lyrics 'I'm a sucker for your love.'

When you do do do what you do to me
The persona is referring to the feeling of enchantment and passion that they experience when Dracula is around.

And you la la la now I've got you in my blood
The lyrics suggest that the persona has become deeply and irrevocably enamored with Dracula; the sensation of love is in their bloodstream.

Supernatural love's getting through to me
The love between the persona and Dracula is all-consuming and intense - and it is not of this world, it is something inherently supernatural.

Prima Donna I'm yours
Dracula is the prima donna - the focus of the persona's world and they are his totally.

Even though you have the cross to bear
Despite the fact that Dracula is carrying a metaphorical cross as a vampire, with all the baggage that brings, the persona remains loyal and devoted to him.

We take the mirror off the doors
Removing the mirrors is necessary because Dracula has no reflections due to being a vampire.

And snuggle in our double tomb
The two being together is so important that they want to create a resting place for both of them for all eternity.

'Cause your castle is a nightmare
Dracula's castle is described as a nightmare, but for the persona it is also a place of great longing, as it is the physical manifestation of their love/hate relationship with the vampire.

You've got batty friends who live there
Dracula's home is populated by his kind - other vampires who serve him loyally.

Oh please, just squeeze
The persona is desperate for their feelings to be reciprocated, and they long for Dracula's embrace and touch.

I go insane don't tap my windowpane
The persona is yearning to hear from Dracula, to see him, to feel him, and to possess him, but fearing rejection and loss of control.

Got to get my teeth in you
The persona desires to be closer to Dracula, to taste his essence and to become a part of him in every sense of the word.

Necking is the thing to do
Necking is a euphemism for sucking blood, and it's what Dracula is best known for.

Even though they never know it
Dracula's actions are shrouded in secrecy, which only adds to the allure and fascination that he triggers inside the persona.

Positive or not
Regardless of what his effect on the persona may be, they are incapable of resisting his charm.

You and I coagulate
The two share a deep and irreversible bond that cannot be broken - their love is as strong as blood that has clotted.

Vitalize a dying rate
Their love brings life back to them, reviving and energizing them even if they are nearing the end of their lives.

Vladimir my dear
Vladimir is one of the names that Dracula is known by in some stories and the lyric is poking fun at the idea of a caring pet name for a vampire.

You know I'm after every drop
The persona's love for Dracula is intense, all-engulfing, and all that they can think about - again playing on the vampire mythology of needing blood for existence.

Get into a different vein
Change the vein to suck blood for Dracula to show the persona's devotion to the vampire.

R.I.P is all the same
When you are undead, Rest In Peace or death is the same, and so is feeding on blood, as that is what keeps them alive.

I was bitten now I'm trying
The persona was originally taken by surprise with the powerful feeling they had towards Dracula, but are now trying to seek and drink blood themselves.

Transylvania
The country where Dracula is from.

You're the coffin I'm the key
Dracula is depicted as a vampiric leader, with the persona the one to whom Dracula is drawn to and needed by, and essential for Dracula's eternal life as a vampire.

We tune up in harmony
The two are completely in sync - they complement each other seamlessly, with a deep, unfathomable connection.

I'll do anything for you
The persona is willing to do anything to have Dracula, regardless of the cost or risk, he is their obsession.

Except for mania
When obsession and love go too far it becomes dangerous, and the persona is unwilling to go too far and lose their sanity, hence the exception.
