Ik vind de single best geslaagd, maar ik kan best begrijpen dat het niet veel mensen aanspreekt. Het wijkt af van zijn eerdere werk.
If I Was Your Vampire klinkt een stuk serieuzer, alternatiever. Ik vind het nummer wel goed
Moet er wel bij zeggen dat ik If I Was Your Vampire inmiddels vaker geluisterd heb dan Heart Shaped Glasses. Het nummer klinkt lekker ruig.. de lyrics zijn een beetje bizar
If I Was Your Vampire (lyrics, voor zover bekend)
6AM christmas morning
No shadows
No reflection here
Lie cheek to cheek in her cold embrace.
It started so tragic
as a slaughterhouse
She pressed the knife against her heart
and say that 'I love you' so much you must kill me now.
I love you so much you must kill me now...
If I was your vampire
Slim(sitting?) as the moon
???a killing top
We have each other 'till the sun goes.
If I was your vampire
death waits for no one.
Put my hands across your face
because I think our time has come.
Picking your smile apart with my spade tongue
and the hole is where the heart is
We built this tomb together
I will fill it alone.
Beyond the pail (double entendre with pale)
Everythings black no turning back
If I was your vampire
Slim(sitting?) as the moon
???a killing top
We have each other 'till the sun goes.
If I was your vampire
death waits for no one.
Put my hands across your face
because I think our time has come.
Blood stained sheets
in the shape of your heart
This is where it starts
This is where it will end
Here comes the moon again.
Six nineteen
and I know I'm ready.
Drive me off a mountain
We'll burn and I'll eat your ashes.
Impossible
we're seducing our corpse.
If I was your vampire
Slim(sitting?) as the moon
???a killing top
We'll have each other 'till the sun goes.
If I was your vampire
death waits for no one.
Put my hands across your face
because I think our time has come.
This is where it starts
This is where it will end
because I'm blue again.
