“Garlic Heart (Bella Notte Bite)” is a twisted surf-pop anthem with fangs—a cryptic, genre-bending tale of an Italian vampire torn between ancestral doom and buttery bliss. With sun-soaked harmonies straight out of a haunted boardwalk and gritty industrial guitar crunch, it tells the story of Count Belladente, a suave bloodsucker whose forbidden obsession with garlic bread sends his coven into chaos. The verses bounce with retro, doo-wop charm while the choruses dive into theatrical darkness, echoing his internal torment: “I crave what kills me—golden crust and sin.” It’s part love song, part gothic meltdown, with a finale that fuses pipe organ, theremin, and surf-rock guitar in glorious disharmony. Think Malibu at midnight… with marinara and madness.

[Verse 1] Underneath the moonlit trattoria sky, Count Belladente sighs with a gleam in his eye. Slicked-back charm and a velvet cape, But his undead heart begins to quake. [Pre-Chorus] It’s not the pulse, it’s the pull of the plate— A golden loaf seals his garlic fate. [Chorus] I crave what kills me—golden crust and sin, Buttery bliss, I let the darkness in. Vampire soul with a marinara scar, Garlic heart, you’ve torn my world apart. [Verse 2] He once danced through centuries in shadows tight, Sipping red from lips in the dead of night. But now he lurks near the oven’s flame, Haunted by that sizzling name. [Pre-Chorus] They warned him once, they warned him twice, “Garlic’s a stake carved in breaded vice.” [Chorus] I crave what kills me—golden crust and sin, Buttery bliss, I let the darkness in. Vampire soul with a marinara scar, Garlic heart, you’ve torn my world apart. [Bridge] [Organ swells, theremin cries] The coven chants, “Exile the chef’s pet!” But Belladente’s lips are glistening wet. “Let me taste it,” he pleads with fire, “A bite of love, a breaded pyre!” [Guitar solo] [Final Chorus] I crave what kills me—golden crust and sin, Your scent’s the blade that pierces skin. From eternal night to garlic light, I burn, I yearn, I bite, I bite! [Big Finish] Bella Notte… oh, bite me right. [End]
