Laya Laya’s “Vampire” is written from the perspective of a Vampire waiting for love. Its bright, rising tonality and luminous tone swells give the track a lush quality in which the vocals sit well fantasizing about a love that exists in the heart as a vague quantity to aspire to the way someone will crush on someone they’ll never talk to but build it up as this beautiful thing that could be if only. It’s a lushly gorgeous song but one that has a hermetic quality the way the aforementioned fantasies can have when there’s no reality to bring it into focus or question its validity or the fantasizer’s attempts to make it real when that would ruin the ideal of something that can never really be. Like the vampire being in love and then one day having to make a meal of that love. It’s just not going to end well without a lot of change happening from within first.
