Vampire Lyrics – Olivia Rodrigo (with meaning)
Vampire Lyrics with meaning
Verse 1:
Hate to give the satisfaction
asking how you’re doing now
How’s the castle built off people
you pretend to care about
Just what you wanted
Look at you, cool guy, you got it
In this verse, the narrator expresses their frustration with the other person who manipulates and uses others for their own benefit. They sarcastically question how the other person’s success is built on pretending to care about people. The narrator acknowledges that the other person achieved what they desired, but they find it disheartening.
Verse 2:
I see the parties and the diamonds
Sometimes when I close my eyes
Six months of torture
That you sold as some forbidden paradise
I loved you truly
Gotta laugh at the stupidity
The narrator observes the lavish lifestyle of the other person, symbolized by parties and diamonds. However, they also recognize the underlying pain and suffering they experienced during their relationship, which the other person falsely presented as a forbidden paradise. Despite the narrator’s genuine love, they now find it laughable how they were fooled by the other person’s manipulation.
Chorus:
Cause I’ve made some real big mistakes
But you make the worst one look fine
I should’ve known it was strange
You only come out at night
I used to think, I was smart
But you made me look so naive
The way you sold me for parts
As you sunk your teeth into me, ohh
Bloodsucker, famefucker
Bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire
The chorus reflects the narrator’s realization that although they have made mistakes in their life, the other person’s actions are far worse. They express regret for not recognizing the red flags and the peculiar behavior of the other person, who only seems to be active at night. The narrator acknowledges feeling foolish and naive for being manipulated and used by the other person, likening them to a bloodsucker and fame-seeker who drains them emotionally.
Verse 3:
Every girl I ever talked to told me
you were bad, bad news
You called them crazy god
I hate the way I called them crazy too
You’re so convincing
How do you lie without flinching
how do you lie, how do you lie, how do you lie
Here, the narrator reveals that others had warned them about the other person’s negative reputation, but they dismissed those warnings. The other person would label those who spoke out against them as crazy, and the narrator regrets falling into the same mindset. They are perplexed by the other person’s ability to lie convincingly without showing any signs of hesitation.
Verse 4:
Ohh, what a mesmerizing, paralyzing
fucked up little thrill
Can’t figure out just how you do it
and god knows I never will
Went for me and not her
Cause girls your age know better
In this verse, the narrator describes the relationship as a captivating and disturbing thrill. They admit their inability to understand how the other person operates and manipulates others. The other person chose the narrator over someone else, highlighting that people of the other person’s age group are aware of their deceptive ways.
Verse 5:
You said it was true love
But wouldn’t that be hard
You can’t love anyone
Cause that would mean you had a heart
The narrator questions the other person’s claim of true love, suggesting that it would be challenging for them to truly love anyone. They imply that the other person lacks empathy and a genuine emotional connection with others.
Verse 6:
I tried to help you out
Now I know that I can’t
Cause how you think’s the kind of thing
I’ll never understand
The narrator recounts their attempt to assist the other person, but they now realize that they cannot change or help them. They acknowledge the fundamental differences in their perspectives and understandings, indicating that they will never fully comprehend the other person’s way of thinking.
Overall, the song portrays a toxic and manipulative relationship, where one person is taken advantage of emotionally and used for personal gain. The lyrics express the narrator’s realization of the deception, their regret for being naive, and their recognition of the other person’s manipulative nature.
