It continues the psychedelic rock of Kevin Parker, whose music project has also shaped the modern pop landscape. Apart from Tame Impala, Parker has been tapped to produce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/dua-lipa\/houdini\">Dua Lipa<\/a>, Lady Gaga, and Kendrick Lamar, to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And on \u201cDracula\u201d, Parker isn\u2019t just avoiding something. He\u2019s running toward someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pretty in the Shadows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tame Impala - Dracula (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xnP7qKxwzjg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Parker begins by explaining how the daylight makes him feel like the 19th-century vampire, Count Dracula. The old vampire could still function during the day, but his powers were diminished. Perhaps the same can be said about one leaving the club and squinting into the brightness of morning light after a nightlong rager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The morning light is turning blue, the feeling is bizarre,<br>The night is almost over; I still don\u2019t know where you are.<br>The shadows, yeah, they keep me pretty like a movie star,<br>Daylight makes me feel like Dracula<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, Parker promises his affection but only at night. Under the harsh light of day, his anxieties are revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In the end, I hope it\u2019s you and me,<br>In the darkness, I would never leave.<br>You won\u2019t ever see me in the light of day,<br>It\u2019s far too late; the time has come<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mr. Charisma and Pablo Escobar<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>He feels confident and bold in the shadows. So instead of succumbing to the light, Parker returns to the dark. There, he\u2019s full of charisma like he\u2019s the King of Cocaine, Pablo Escobar. But his friends knock him down: You\u2019re not a Colombian drug lord or the Count; you\u2019re Kevin Parker. Now get in the car, they say, and let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I\u2019m on the verge of caving in. I run back to the dark,<br>Now I\u2019m Mr. Charisma, f***ing Pablo Escobar.<br>My friends are saying, \u201cShut up, Kevin, just get in the car.\u201d<br>I just wanna be right where you are<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRun from the sunlight, Dracula,\u201d Parker sings in the chorus. The vampire metaphor represents how he doesn\u2019t want the party to end. But it may signal an aversion to facing the banalities of everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, \u201cDracula\u201d is about escape. And Parker\u2019s escape also includes the comfort of another person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer\/Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tame Impala&#8217;s hit &#8220;Dracula&#8221; is a vampire tale, but for Kevin Parker, it&#8217;s about much more than avoiding the light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":973477,"featured_media":3363,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":316,"post_id":2139}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer\/Getty Images","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[200,274],"byline":[316],"class_list":["post-3362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-indie-rock","tag-tame-impala"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"Features","term_id":12,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/features\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"indie rock","term_id":200,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/indie-rock\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
