“Female Vampire” is the second track and first single off Jenny Hval’s fourth solo studio album Blood Bitch.
A music video for the song, directed by Jenny Berger Myhre, was released on 21 June, 2016.
Hval shared a few words about the video on her website:
What does eternity feel like? How do you ‘...
[Verse 1]
Transient
Restless
I'm not there
Or not there yet
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But if I'm coming I must be hollow enough
I follow the body, I mustn't rest
When I'm near you become someone else
[Verse 2]
I'm so tired
Of subjectivity
I must justify
My presence by losing it
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Must not keep a steady gaze
Keep a steady gaze
When I'm near you become someone else
[Chorus]
Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes
A strange slow rhythm
Not exactly creating a rhythm
Here it comes
In and out of focus
(Here it comes)
Vulnerable, the original crevasse
(Here it comes)
[Verse 3]
In a moment
Of confusion
I don't know what to say
And I hear myself ask:
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Where does it hurt to create curves for the gaze?
The body as a subconscious
And desire takes place somewhere, everywhere, everywhere
[Chorus]
Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes
(In the dampness of)
Here it comes
(Winter air between us)
Here it comes
(In the restlessness of hotel rooms)
Here it comes
(The smell of Spanish wetlands)
Here it comes
[Outro]
In the way you say:
It hurts everywhere

“Female Vampire” is a hunting song, a scene in which a vampire looks for fresh blood on the dancefloor. This vampire is timeless, but also contemporary. She feels old, but is also struck by restlessness and boredom. She’s tired of killing but can’t help feeling bloodlust.
