verse 1 I've seen your eyes as they fix on me What is he doing? What on earth's the plan, has he got one? You better give me some pointers Since you are the big rocket launcher and I'm just the shotgun I ain't got no dollar signs in my eyes That might be a surprise but it's true, said, I'm not like you And I don't want your advice or your praise Or to move in the ways you do and I never will 'Cause all you people are vampires And all your stories are stale And though you pretend to stand by us I know you're certain we'll fail verse 2 I've seen your eyes as they fix on me, full of confusion Your snarl is just so condescending! Trying to explain that we're on to a win If the fee we get in near recoups what we're spending He said, "I can't believe that you drove all that way Well how much did they pay ya? How much did they pay ya? You'd have been better to stay round our way Thinking about things but not actually doing the things" 'Cause all you people are vampires And all your stories are stale And though you pretend to stand by us I know you're certain we'll fail 'Cause all you people are vampires And all your stories are stale And though you pretend to stand by us I know you're certain we'll fail

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un sentiment de désillusion face à un monde où certains se comportent comme des prédateurs, se nourrissant des autres pour servir leurs propres intérêts. Le narrateur se sent critiqué et méprisé par ceux qui semblent vouloir l'orienter, tout en étant convaincus de l'échec des autres. Cette pensée récurrente souligne des tensions entre l'authenticité et la superficialité des relations dans un environnement compétitif. Le contexte peut être vu comme celui de la scène musicale, où les jeunes artistes luttent pour se faire une place tout en étant constamment jugés par des figures établies qui, bien qu'elles prétendent les soutenir, les traitent souvent avec condescendance. Cela expose la réalité parfois cruelle du milieu artistique, où le soutien est souvent illusoire.
