| "It's about not being the most pleasent guy in rock" - Ville Valo ... So, it is not about vampires literally. Vampire is like a metaphor for something unpleasent. Best Him-song since the GLSV.666-era. | |

| its a true story of beauty and the beast....a man hidden by shadows, because of his own fear of himself, and his love for someone else, and how he wants to feel that burning love deep inside his still heart. this can also be translated into the above mentioned quote from ville "It's about not being the most pleasent guy in rock" as he is not the most popular guy in rock, but its the love of his fans that drives him to keep creating his music | |

| "Dream of a dream" Perhaps a reference/borrowing from the book (The Chronicles Of Narnia) The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe written by the great C.S. Lewis. | |
