VAMPIRE
beats per inch Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You bit me with your vampire teeth.
My blood came out, it seems that my first aid worked.
But the wound begun to sore,
your demonous attack worked once more.

I cant feel it - 'cause you steal it.
Get ot of mine.
'cant feel it - 'cause you steal it.

Get out of mine.
'cant feel it - 'cause you steal it.
Get out of mine.

What are you looking for, what are you searching for?
Get out of mine.
What are you looking here, what are you looking here?
Get out of mine.
What are you looking for, what are you looking here
Get out of my mind.
What are you looking for, what are you looking here?
Get out of mine.

'cant feel it - 'cause you steal it.
Get out of mine.

'cant feel it - 'cause you steal it.
Get out of mine.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Beats Per Inch's song "Vampire" seem to be describing a relationship that is toxic and damaging for the singer. The opening lines of the song describe being bitten by their partner's "vampire teeth," which could be interpreted metaphorically to mean that their partner has hurt them emotionally or physically. The singer then describes treating their wound with first aid, but the attack from their partner's "demonous" nature is too strong to be healed completely.

The repeated refrain of "I can't feel it - 'cause you steal it. Get out of mine" suggests that the singer is aware that their partner is taking something from them, whether it be their emotions, their energy, or their sense of self. The rest of the lyrics seem to be a plea for their partner to leave their mind and stop taking from them.

Overall, the song paints a vivid picture of a relationship that is leaving the singer feeling drained and powerless.

Once again, you have taken something from me and it's affecting me deeply. It's time for you to go.

The lesson here is "when you see checkmate in 1, play checkmate in 6, that is usually better"

George Arbuckle

I found a forced mate in 4 in a complicated position, and stockfist was like "yeh but there was a mate in 2" stockfish is no one's friend

Jake Zee

@Luka Miletic ikr? lmaooo how does an 1100 miss a hanging queen while IN CHECK?? lol

Jake Zee

@Filthy John no the queen hangs in that position

Jake Zee

@Tyton Daley wrong the opponent is only in check from the queen which hangs and is attacked by the enemy queen. Deal with the check by taking Levy's hanging queen instead of moving the king... so Levy did in fact blunder his queen in that sequence but the opponent missed it.

Chess titans by microsoft on windows 7 is actually the worst engine I have ever came to contact with, imagine playing like total twat trading pieces away, locking position and playing for a draw every damn time. When it comes to perspective you'd have to play a perfect game against it meaning you'd be very high elo and if so you wouldn't play the damn engine because at that level you'd play good chess with someone else

@GothamChess, first of all thank you, for inspiring me learning chess at my 30, it's an amazing game ! I've tryed to analyze your checkmate at 07:05 using real board. Your moves were: 1. bh7+ - Kh8 2. Nxf7+ - Rxf7 3. Bg6?? Couldn't your opponent just 3. ... Qxh4+ taking ridiculuous advantage because hanging pieces after ?

I just found this channel in the past few days and I have to say, of every chess Youtuber I've watched, this one crams by far the most information into the fewest minutes. No long-winded intros, no over-explaining everything like we're all toddlers, just rapid-fire knowledge. Awesome.

Also, I watched one of your puzzle videos and after watching you spot solution after solution in 1 literal second, I felt a little bit bad about myself. But I got over it.

Because of this stream I decided to try to play it, like 3 games in a row I was given black and played the Jalalabad instead and won 2 of them (I totally forgot theory as I did it but I'm 1100 so it worked out) then a random kept rematching me but refused to play normal openings so I couldn't do either. All in all 0/6 games were vampire gambits

"Don't play against engines, it makes you hate chess"
Although I do understand the reason why you said that (and I agree) though playing against engines with odds it really makes you love the game even more... It can show how powerfull it is to be able to dig deep into any loosing position and win the game... That's why we love chess, because you can win at any time as long as you can think better than your opponent does!

This opening plays like the quaade kings gambit. If you really like the ideas behind this opening but want a more serious opening the quaade variation is very similar.

Jonathan Palfrey

I've tried this a bit, but it seems to have two disadvantages: (1) it delays development of the bishops, and (2) it leaves your own king with no safe place to hide.

Okay that check mate in the first game was freaking SCARY, that was literally VAMPIRE scary, GJ levi you the best and I think you'll hit GM one of these days if you keep your chin up and you keep looking into the stars you have the GUSTO now you just have to make it happen. Because like my uncle rocko one said, It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

You'll be happy to know that I've added all positions that are either played or talked about in this video to my opening explorer, with my own analysis, which sometimes does and sometimes doesn't agree with Levy's.

In the game against cjwk, Levy blunders a premove at 7:07, then at 7:18 cjwk could have moved 18 ... Qxh4+, which wins for Black instead of Kg8.

It already exists, Levy, and is called the "English Opening: Double Whammy Variation". Only two master games in my database.

On LiChess, opening books are fine if it's correspondence: "In correspondence games only, you may use the Lichess opening explorer, plus any other chess books or opening databases." No engines though, that would definitely be cheating.

John O'Brien II

If you use Chess.com to analyze 1. c4 e5 2. f4 It says the opening is A20: English Opening: King's English, Double Whammy Variation. There's 1 drawn game in the database between Jovan Milovic (2260) and Vladimir Pajkovic (2426) on 7/20/2019. They agreed to the draw after only 8 moves. One has to wonder...why?

Vojtech Kottas

I actually once did the the math on how much someone would need to drink to get a vampire Drink from their blood. So assuming that the vampire only Drinks a bit like a few shots worth, then the blood would need to be about 30-40% alcohol which is actually impossible to get by drinking, because we cannot absorb alcohol fast enough, so you would need an alcohol infusion of about 2 litres of pure alcohol. Then there is the problem that vampires have a heartbeat to have the alcohol circulate their "Veins".

John Hickman

@Levy Rosman have you heard of the Frankenstein-Dracula Gambit?(also call Boden-Kiersitsky gambit) It occurs in the Vienna system and goes 1. E4...E5, 2. NC3...NF6, 3. BC4...N×E4, 4. NF3. Im not sure the theory after this, but black most commonly plays 4...NC6 thus transposing into Italian 4 Knights. Any thoughts???
