In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Oooh what I wouldn't do to taste your blood
Your blood
Oooh what I wouldn't do to taste your blood
Your blood
Oooh what I wouldn't do to taste your blood
Straight for the jugular, raw dog suckular, blood killer
I'm the creep in the hearst with a thirst for the worst
Type of shit you ain't heard
Psychopathic, anarchistic
Masochistic, fuck religion
A vampire settin' churches on fire
Bringin' down the evil muthafuckin' empire (Yes!)
Cut a throat to the bone, to the beat of my song
Cut yourself medically pulsate
My heartbeat bumping like a 808
A shadow caster, fantasma
And I wanna take a drink of your plasma
I'm hanging upside down in an all black room
Stickin' myself, drinkin' the blood from the wound
Gotta consume enough blood to keep me alive
Cause if I don't I'm gonna wither and die, bye bye
Oooh what I wouldn't do to taste your blood
Gimme that blood! Gimme that blood!
Oooh what I wouldn't do to taste your blood
Gimme that blood! Gimme that blood!
Now blood might drip, blood might clot
Blood might flow, but fuck all that
Sit down and listen close to your uncle Shaggs
I'll take blood in any form, even scabs
Tainted needles filled with junky blood
Just let me find this vein
I hang at the emergency ward and lick wounds
Gimme that blood for the ritual of the loons
I need blood like a mosquito
I'll suck the blood out of a heroin needle
I don't care how I get it just come with it
I'll lick the blood off your lip if you bit it
I'll slit my wrist and neck and do the windmill
And be a blood fountain for real
I'll swim underwater sniffin' for blood like a shark
But I ain't a shark I'm a blood suckin' retard, retard uhh
Oooh what I wouldn't do to taste your blood
Gimme that blood! Gimme that blood!
Oooh what I wouldn't do to taste your blood
Gimme that blood! Gimme that blood!
I've been known for blood sippin'
Pull the trigger everybody trippin'
All on the carpet, splattered on the wall
Shotgun blast, couple people fall
I even took a slug, I'm already dead
Cocked the gauge and made a river of his forehead
Wiped his blood on the front of my shirt
Would you die for the Lotus? I came from the dirt
Blood, the sight of it excites me
I'm such a mess, slippery excuse me
I spent all day writing die on the wall
And my hands are all bloody, and my fingertips raw to the bone
Now I'm all alone, and Malaki speakin'
Hear me talkin' on the crow
Mix with the blood on the third night
Will allow the dead to walk again in the sunlight
Oooh what I wouldn't do to taste your blood
Gimme that blood! Gimme that blood!
Oooh what I wouldn't do to taste your blood
Gimme that blood! Gimme that blood!
Oooh what I wouldn't do to taste your blood
Gimme that blood! Gimme that blood!
Oooh what I wouldn't do to taste your blood
Gimme that blood! Gimme that blood!
Gimme that
Gimme that blood, gimme that blood
Gimme that blood, gimme that blood
Your blood
Oooh what I wouldn't do to taste your blood
Your blood
Oooh what I wouldn't do to taste your blood

I'm the creep in the hearst with a thirst for the worst

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Ok, this song is completely MAKING FUN of those fans who go around acting like vampires. I know someone like this and I love that I can play this song to him to show him how ridiculous he is, but he thinks that they are serious and refuses to see that they're mocking him! "I'll swim underwater sniffin' for blood like a shark But I ain't a shark I'm a blood suckin' retard, retard!"
this song is the shit o and its not mocking vamps, j is mocking himself he dos that a lot
go ask aliceeee when your 10 ft tallll. this song is so funny.
