| Concrete Blonde – Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) Lyrics | 16 years ago |

This song is definitely inspired by the novels of Anne Rice. Plus, 'New Orleans'... I doubt that's co-incidence. There's an interview on youtube in which Johnette does actually say that it was inspired by the author. But onto the song... To me, the line 'Oh, You Were A Vampire, And, Baby, I'm The Walking Dead' is a reference to Louis and Lestat... Lestat is obviously a vampire, but Louis, when he was still mortal, was living in a ghoul-like state, and very depressed after the death of his brother/wife and child (novel/film). Basically, he had a death wish, but wouldn't, or couldn't, end his life himself, and so put himself in situations where another might do it for him. In this manner, the mortal Louis was like the walking dead. Oh, and he certainly had 'a lot to think about' once Lestat made an offer to turn him. |
