"Dracula" lyrics

"Dracula"

The morning light is turning blue, the feeling is bizarre
The night is almost over, I still don't know where you are
The shadows, yeah, they keep me pretty like a movie star
Daylight makes me feel like Dracula

In the end I hope it's you and me
In the darkness I would never leave
You won't ever see me in the light of day
It's far too late
The time has come

I'm on the verge of caving in, I run back to the dark
Now I'm Mr. Charisma, fucking Pablo Escobar
My friends are saying "Shut up, Kevin, just get in the car"
I just wanna be right where you are
Oh, my love

In the end I hope it's you and me
In the darkness I would never leave
We both saw this moment coming from afar
Now here we are

Run from the sunlight, Dracula
Run from the sunlight, Dracula
Run from the sunlight, Dracula
Isn't the view spectacular?

But please
Do you think about what it might mean?
'Cause I dream about you in my sleep
Would you ever love someone like me?
Like me?

In the end I hope it's you and me
In the darkness I would never leave
We both saw this moment coming from afar
Now here we are

So run from the sunlight, Dracula
Run from the sunlight, Dracula
Run from the sunlight, Dracula
Isn't the view spectacular?
Run from the sunlight, Dracula
Run from the sunlight, Dracula
Isn't the view spectacular?
Run from the sunlight, Dracula
Run from the sunlight, Dracula
Isn't the view spectacular?

"Dracula" is the third track (following previous two singles "End Of Summer" and "Loser") unveiled from Tame Impala's album "Deadbeat". The song and its music video (directed by Julian Klincewicz) were released on the 26th of September, 2025.
According to Kevin Parker's interview for Zane Lowe Show, "It's kind of the oldest song from the album process." The song started "raw and minimal" and "slowly expanded into pop." "I kind of just give the song what it wants, like that one just wanted that big, sort of it wanted to be like a Max Martin song.", added Parker who produced the track and co-wrote it with Sarah Aarons.
