Third Cat - "Chupacabra"
challenge: the two instruments are one synth patch and one 808 drum machine.
neighbors' goats sucked to the bone
everybody's scared to be alone
bodies pile, rumors fly
i know the truth and it makes me cry
it's my girlfriend
she's a chupacabra
she's so beautiful i pretend
i don't see it:
blood stains on the carpet
goat brains on the wall
i can't blame her
i know it's not her fault
it's just her nature after all
sneaking out on a pitch black night
planting evidence so she's alright
I make it look like some kind of beast
no one will know it's my girl who feasts
it's my girlfriend
she's a chupacabra
she's so beautiful i pretend
i don't see it:
blood stains on the carpet
goat brains on the wall
i can't blame her
i know it's not her fault
it's just her nature after all
it's my girlfriend
she's a chupacabra
I like the first couple of the lines of the chorus, they’re super catchy. The concept of your lyrics is good as well... don’t we all know that one couple where one of them is essentially a hot monster? While I don’t really have complaints about what was there in your stripped-back instrumentation, this was definitely a song where I found myself wishing for more stuff in the arrangement; it felt kind of empty and flat compared to some of the other songs this week.
