Lyrics:
Trade away 401ks
For a beach and sunny days
Overdue
But that ain't gonna crush us
Bet we're shattering the glass,
Or we're gettin' nowhere fast
Rise at noon,
And cause a little ruckus.
I'm too high
To ever touch the ground
I'm too cool
To ever settle down
We're so pretty
We should run this town,
Draining veins until I drown.
Hold on, scratch that. It would seem
That one got away from me,
Moving on,
That's just my sense of humor.
Overlooked and underpaid,
And that's always been the case
But we're young.
And we will change the future.
Memes for days
What's trending? I can't wait.
Swiping left
Until I see a bae
I'm just like you
I struggle but I slay
Whatcha say? Can I partay?
Out here vibin' in my scene
Living only to be free
Fingers up
To anyone above us
What a lovely sea of peeps,
Better hit my live stream,
It's ya boy!
Be sure to give a thumbs up.
Please, oh please, just let me come inside.
I'm so hungry
And I'm lookin' fly.
I can rage,
I promise I don't bite,
Ready for another lease on life.
Gimme the music,
This beat is too sick,
I wanna drink til I get stupid,
Come on and lose it,
That vital fluid
I cut loose when I move my hips.
Let's hear the bass hit,
I wanna taste it,
I wanna rejuvenate again.
What's that about? (Oooh)
I'll spell it out (ahhh)
We're BFFLs, at least for yours.
Sangre.
Dame tu sangre.
Quiero beber toda tu sangre.
Gee, well that was fun,
And I've never felt so young.
A success if there ever was one.
Guess my secret's out, oh well.
No one here is left to tell.
Taking flight,
I race against the sun.
I'm too high
To ever touch the ground
I'm too cool
To ever settle down
I'll stay pretty,
I'll always be around
The royal young will never let you down.
Gimme the music,
This beat is too sick,
I wanna drink til I get stupid,
Come on and lose it,
That vital fluid
I cut loose when I move my hips.
Let's hear the bass hit,
I wanna taste it,
I wanna rejuvenate again.
V-A-M-P-I-R-E
SUCK IT!

the trumpet really is amazing

[@cattegoggles]

IT GOES SO HARD

[@modernfellow6257]

You did amazing!!!!

[@TOOBITEE]

love the trumpet

[@jexxer]

It took me far too many replays to realize this whole song is a vampiric "How do you do, fellow kids?" And that makes me love it _so much more_ than I thought I already could.

[@nathanwoolley421]

A Mariachi/Rock Opera fusion about a vampire using social media to hunt its prey. Never thought I'd end up here, but I'm certainly glad I did.

[@anefariousgoose]

Hey guys I think Rivers might be a vampire

[@BearGhost]

it's the only reasonable explanation

[@Rivwe]

i knew rivers cuomos was suspicious

[@kirrb-dot-exe]

"Hello fellow kids" vampires is such a fun concept

[@Thiccremoch162]

I never thought bear ghost could get better, but the trumpet really adds some flare and feel to the whole song that is just immaculate

[@dan-et]

Yay Flare! 🎺🪄

[@70fu]

Discovered this band at the right time, can't wait for more music

[@Ariste_]

I am a will wood fan and I found this band from his spotify AND NOW IM OBSESSED! ITS SO UNDERRATED DEF DESERVES SO MUCH MORE!

[@superultimateawesome]

SAME!!

[@snowperez1864]

i found both through completely unrelated means, but def some shared tastes between the two

[@Mr.SoggyShoes]

Yoooo another Will Wood fan

[@ELSTERLING]

Truly only Bear Ghost could combine Mariachi-inspired rock about vampires with a metaphor about predatory parasocial personalities and have it stomp this much.

[@crononstan9104]

I don't think I've ever found two artists so different yet so similar.

[@francper3644]

As a Dominican, I did not expect the Spanish at all. I still loved it. You guys always manage to create such genre blends and it is always so beautiful

[@mightthemighty]

Fully relate to this, it's really good

[@SpiteandSprite]

The absolute chokehold this band has on me is insane It could be thirty years until their next song and guess who'll be there immediately

[@70fu]

I thought they did before this single

this is my fav song ever. nothing can beat the absolute joy of yelling BLOOD, GIVE ME YOUR BLOOD, I WANT TO DRINK YOUR BLOOD in spanish

I LOVE IT This energy is unparalleled. I can give to this all year Bear Ghost with trumpets is too powerful for this world.

[@dan-et]

[@lunes642]

I just know I will have to put an incredible ammount of effort into not going "sangre dame tu sangre quiero beber toda tu sangre" every two seconds

[@dan-et]

Huzzah! 🎺✊

[@joshgiesbrecht]

Calling these guys unique is a massive understatement. Really, really love the songs I've heard so far. Found them through "sirens", and it's been my favorite song ever since. Couldn't wait to delve deeper and I am so glad I did. Major ear candy.

[@stargazer1998]

I found them through Necromancin Dancin, I checked out more, Sirens stuck it’s claws into me enough to listen to an album or two, and now I’m stuck

[@speechlesssoul2348]

As a Hispanic, I didn't expect the Spanish part, it was amazing lmao I love it, even the rhythm in that part

[@xxx_putin_has_a_flaccid_pe5374]

The fact that this was written about the lead singer of Weezer though….

[@hatmanmanofhats8167]

I joked that it was about Rivers Cuomo, is it actually?

[@xxx_putin_has_a_flaccid_pe5374]

@@hatmanmanofhats8167 If you look at the videos where they’re explaining the meaning behind some of their songs, they actually said it was about him. More specifically, the fact that he’s old as dust and still acting like a 20-something musician catering to other 20-somethings and what if he was a vampire draining their youth to stay looking so young

[@RushWheeler]

​@@hatmanmanofhats8167yeah, they go deeper into it in their album explanation videos

this song is singlehandedly getting me through my highschool english classes (this and big town blanky blaine. i’ve done so many assignments to that one bro 😭) also excellent music to imagine my little characters to 10/10 five stars

[@DemonCat_]

This song is largely referencing vampires. But also after I've read the lyrics and listen to the song More closely. I feel like it's also an Influencer/content creator taking advantage of their fan base feeding off of them like a vampire.

[@circusgacha78]

I found this song through Spotify shuffle and OH MY GOSH I listened to so many songs but this one and starkiller have to be my favorites new favorite band honestly ❤

[@l-r3x688]

The world is healing Bear Ghost released another banger song 🙏

[@lovehatepeacechill2881]

I have a theory: This Rivers, a teen who seems to be missing the limelight of being young/wanting to have sucess and live forever as a teen, is so blinded by his pride and goal of being popular that he becomes/reveals to be a vampire. Now feasting on fellow classmates and, probably, the unpopulars, he gets a sense of high and rush from the thrill of being this sorta forever undead living vampire and can't wait to feel it again. I would love to write a story of this, just seeing Rivers' past, what lead up to him to turn into vampire, and his look for the future. Along with maybe someone who knows him trying to put a stop to his feastings and save people from the bloodrush seeking vampirw teen. Maybe he'll triumph in the end? Maybe he'll turn a new leaf? Who knows.

[@PanchoPoronga]

Happy to hear your songs again guys! This one slaps!

[@Fuceril]

I honestly wouldn’t be mad if all future songs had horns if they go this hard
