La Morte Amoureuse

“And you can aim for my heart, go for blood / But you would still miss me in your bones”

Uncle Jerry draws a parallel to Gautier's Gothic short story about a priest who takes holy orders and the woman, revealed as a vampire, who loves him and sucks at him to sustain herself. He connects this to the song's themes of vindictiveness, obsession, and the boundary between life and death: the narrator feels like a vampire going for blood, haunting the antagonist even in his bones, angry that he chose something else (money, in this case) over her. Uncle Jerry also notes the connection to the broader White Lady vampire tradition within folklore.
