Dracula (Jennie Remix)
Tame Impala · Dracula (Remix)
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 (Jennie Remix)
"Dracula" is a song about running toward someone, not away. The track, by Tame Impala, was released as the third single from the 2025 album Deadbeat. Songfacts noted that on "Dracula," Kevin Parker "isn't just avoiding something. He's running toward someone."
Parker begins by explaining how 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.
The lyrics are full of the kind of dreamy imagery that makes the best psychedelic music work. Parker promises his affection but only at night. It is a song about the pull of the night, about the feeling of being most alive when the sun goes down.
What stays with me is how the song turns a vampire metaphor into a love song. It is not a song about fear; it is a song about the kind of love that only exists in the dark. That twist is what makes it so memorable.

The song's lyrics are full of the kind of dreamy imagery that makes the best psychedelic music work. It is a song about the pull of the night, and it is delivered with a vocal performance that is both smooth and hypnotic. It is a song that stays with you long after it ends.
