Unveiling the Thirst of Emotions: Deco*27's 'ヴァンパイア (The Vampire)'
Deco*27's song 'ヴァンパイア (The Vampire)' featuring Hatsune Miku delves into the metaphorical representation of a vampire to explore themes of desire, obsession, and emotional dependency. The lyrics personify the singer as a vampire, not in the literal sense, but as someone who craves the emotional and perhaps romantic attention of another person to the point of feeling insatiable. The repeated line 'あたしバンパイア' which translates to 'I'm a vampire,' emphasizes the singer's acknowledgment of their own intense and possibly overwhelming desires.
The song's narrative suggests a struggle between the need for self-control and the urge to give in to one's desires. Phrases like 'もう無理 もう無理なんて悪い子だね' ('It's impossible, it's impossible, I'm such a bad child, aren't I?') reflect the internal conflict and guilt associated with these feelings. The vampire metaphor extends to the idea of consuming someone's entirety, not in a physical sense, but emotionally, as the singer expresses a desire to '食らうまで' ('devour until') they have taken all of someone's emotions, both the good and the bad.
The song also touches on the concept of mutual dependency, as the lyrics later shift to '君もバンパイア' ('You're also a vampire'), suggesting that the object of the singer's affection also harbors similar intense feelings. This creates a dynamic where both parties are caught in a cycle of craving and consuming each other's emotions, potentially leading to a toxic relationship. The repeated phrase 'まだ絶対行けるよ' ('We can still absolutely go on') indicates a relentless pursuit of this connection, despite the potential consequences.
