Zombina and the Skeletones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a mutant now
I'm a flesh eating baby
on a mission to dig down
[?] a look on my face
I don't want there to be no doubt
You already[?] know
What it's all about
Just look at my face
I got Dracula Blood
On my face
I got Dracula Blood
On my face
Dracula Blood on my face
I'm gonna spread it all over the place
One, Two
Three, Four
Don't you
Open that door
'Cause I'm a mummified mother
on a mission to chainsaw
Yeah, that's what I said
You go to bed with a tooth ache
You wake up in the morgue
you gotta roll
all over the floor
That's what I said
I got Dracula Blood!
On my face
I got Dracula Blood!
on my face
Dracula Blood!
On my face
I'm gonna spread it all over the place
Woah
Got Dracula
Blood!
Got Dracula
Blood!
On my face
I got Dracula Blood
In my vains!
The lyrics of Zombina and the Skeletones's song Dracula Blood tell the story of a person who has turned into a flesh-eating mutant baby, and lives in a haunted house with Dracula blood on their face and in their veins, as the person declares with pride. The song uses horror elements to describe the character's "mission" to "dig down" and "spread it all over the place," reciting a 1-2-3-4 rhyme that introduces chainsawing and mummifying mothers as part of the haunting imagery. The refrain of the song repeats the declaration of having Dracula blood on their face and the intention to spread it around.
The song's lyrics can be interpreted in different ways. One possible interpretation is that they give voice to someone who is different and open about it, embracing their freakishness, defiance, and irreverence. Alternatively, the lyrics can also be read as a metaphor for addiction, mental illness, or societal criticism, as they touch on themes of obsession, violence, trauma, and marginalization. Regardless of the interpretation, the song's lyrics are catchy, humorous, and provocative, and invite the listeners to sing along and participate in the spectacle.

I've never heard a band like this. I bought all your MP3 albums and I've never heard a band as diverse as Zombina & The Skeletones. All your songs sound completely different. I love it. I especially love the covers of "Show Me Heaven" and the very authentic-sounding 50s ditty "Pretty Little Angel Eyes." I thought it was a real 50s song when it first came up on my iPod. Great stuff.

This is such an awesome song. I featured it on SciFiPunkRockabillySurfHorror Half-Hour on ds106radio, but it should be on constant rotation.
