Theme
A song about self-deception and emotional loss, where the pain of a breakup is personified as a vampire that feeds on your suffering. The track explores the parasitic nature of grief and obsession, referencing insomnia, dread, and emotional vulnerability. It's an exorcism through ghoulish metaphors that chart the corrosive nature of attachment and the liberation that follows release.
Lyrics
Ripping through every poem
Like a vampire should
And it takes one to know 'em
Like I knew you would
In the middle of the night, it feeds
In the middle of the night, it eats you
Everybody knows
Everywhere I go
I can never run and I cannot hide
I'm done crying
Over someone like you
I'm done crying
I hope you're feeling it too now
I'm done
Crying
Crying
Now that sweet's gone sour
Seeping down the cracks
Mm, getting worse by the hour
The vile rot attacks, oh
In the middle of the night, it feeds
In the middle of the night, it eats you
Everybody knows
Everywhere I go
I can never run and I cannot hide
I'm done crying
Over someone like you
I'm done crying
I hope you're feeling it too, now
I'm done
Crying
Crying
Everybody knows
Everywhere I go
And I cannot wait until the day when
I'm done crying
Over someone like you
I'm done crying
I hope you're feeling it too, now
I'm done crying (crying)
Over someone like you
I'm done crying (crying)
I need somebody new now
I'm done
