ok, so here's kinda how i could possibly analyze this song: White on white translucent black capes = this might have something to do with his skin tone after being dead, how it's pale and translucent and if eyelids were like capes, covering, then you can add that they're translucent white skin over white eyeballs... next. Back on the rack = goes back to the black cape, it goes back on the rack because he's no longer there to wear it. Bela Lugosi's dead = self explanatory. The bats have left the bell tower = he was partly crazy anyways. The victims have been bled = he was a big alcoholic so perhaps this has to do with the bottles left everywhere, empty. Red velvet lines the black box = his coffin. Undead undead undead = he'll never really be dead in the eyes of his fans... or perhaps this line goes with the next, his virginal brides filing past his tomb are the ones who are undead. Strewn with time's dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count
Bela Logosi's dead = this most likely has to do with the body left all alone at the wake or just stuffed in the back, to wait for his burial/cremation. And that's if i try to analyze it... otherwise i just love the play on words "been bled the red..." :)
@alda I like your interpretation of the wine bottles being compared to the victims of the character Dracula. White and white is actually a colour of ultra white with blue undertones. Maybe it’s
the make up they used on Bella Lugosi when he played Dracula. I think it’s about the funeral of Bella Lugosi and juxtaposing it to Dracula in his tomb, undead
