Vampires Will Never Hurt You Lyrics

[Outro]
And as always, innocent like roller coasters
Fatality is like ghosts in snow
And you have no idea what you're up against
Because I've seen what they look like
Becoming perfect as if they were sterling silver chainsaws
Going cascading

Genius Annotation

“Vampires Will Never Hurt You” is a wonderfully intriguing song full of suspenseful instrumentals and vocals. The song is almost eerie, as it shows the sacrifice and desperation of a man who doesn’t want to become a vampire (a mainstream member of society) There is almost a fantasy air to this song, even though it focuses on the topic of rebelling.

What did My Chemical Romance say about "Vampires Will Never Hurt You"?
Genius Answer

Gerard Way described this song in May Death Never Stop You as his favorite recording of the band as it was their first.

I had never heard my voice recorded, and hearing the band recorded for the first time was​ all I needed to invigorate me to do the job. Most everything is done in one take. The tempo of the song is 187 bpms.

Is Gerard way a vampire
Genius Answer

Of course not, but I have nothing better to do, so here we go:

For starters, Gerard has plenty of vampire-y quotes, including:

Vampires are the best beast you could ever be.

and

I want to be a vampire. They’re the coolest monsters.

Gerard also appeared to look very much like one in the past, including the many, many photo shoots of him covered in blood.

There’s also the undeniable fact that he doesn’t age:

This is a twenty years difference.

Plus, he incorporates the creatures into many of his songs, including, “Vampire Money” and this one, “Vampires Will Never Hurt You.” I mean, the song goes,

And then, as razor sharp white teeth
Rip out our necks […]

Can you stake my heart
Can you stake my heart?
Can you stake me before the sun goes down?

Sound’s like he’s a vampire to me.
