Mossback’s parts of the song have a theme of dreams and frustration abot the past.
The original title of the song was Strix Nebulosa, the scientific name of the largest owl species.
The final name, Strigoi, means “witch” in Romanian. It also has similar spellings/meanings in different languages.
[Chorus: MOSSBACK]
Dreams, they follow me around
Dreams, they follow me around
Dreams, they follow me around
Dreams, they follow me around
Dreams, they follow me around
[Verse 1: MOSSBACK]
Lately, I been thinking about the time that you left
Body levitating, breathing without taking a breath
I'm still picking up the pieces from the puzzle you wrecked
Body burning like the Nazarene, the mother she wept
I been waking up in shambles, all my thoughts are a mess
My bones are aching and groaning, a sinking pain in my chest
When I'm sleeping, there's a voice that lets me know it's upset
Hallucination dripping from me in a puddle of sweat
H—H—H—H—Hop out of my noggin, I don't know ya
Demon followed me to Arizona
Preaching out against me in a major way
Pay your rent in my head, old persona
I'm familiar with that stank aroma
Dreams have followed me
It seems they're here to sta—a—a—a—a—a—ay
[Verse 2: KAMAARA]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Stick to your story
Overextend, you bend, you break, you eat the take and wash down the glory
I know she badly bad, you're madly sad, upset, she really adore me
I got the car, the drip, the coat Moncler, the glicks, so please do not bore me
Buried a lie to tie a tie, if lies could bite, this shit could get gory
Open the sun and stow away a wasted day like it's not important
E on her tongue, the cost to love is hard to pay when you can't afford it
Give me the keys, the red ones too, I dodge and weave, I muhfuckin' floor it
Minimal space, I lie awake and smell decay but tend to ignore it
[Verse 3: Witchouse 40k]
Haunted Hou—Haunted House
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Crawl with the—crawl with the—
Crawl with the—crawl with the—
Crawl with the rats out the mud
Zombie rot 'em, put a shot in your back up (Back up)
Boy see the back of my gun with it
Pull up on 'em, and I'm bringing his past up (Past up)
Hop out the coffin, I walk out the bottom alone, got a Glock and a mag on my nuts
Sediment talkin', my skull full of holes, see the maggots around, I got bats in my blood
Ghosts in the patch and we carve 'em out
I spin the block on 'em, haunted house
Ghost in the face, leave your body out
Camber your bones 'til they bottom out
Glock on my body, I shot at your body, I rot 'em, he turn to a ghost town
Fully auto wit' the blicky, your block looking haunted, I'm hearing these ghosts sounds
Nobody but the soul found, keep the pole out when I pull up on 'em
Cold house, I was broke down, now a gold mouth when I pull up on 'em
[Chorus: MOSSBACK, KAMAARA]
Dreams, they follow me around
I—I—I—I—I lie awake and smell decay but tend to ignore it—nore it
Dreams, they follow me around
I—I—I—I—I lie awake and smell decay but tend to ignore it—nor—nore it
Dreams, they follow me around
I—I—I—I—I lie awake and smell decay but tend to ignore it—nor—nore it—nor—nor—
Dreams, they follow me around
[Outro: MOSSBACK]
Dreams, they follow me around (Around)
Dreams, they follow me around (Around)
