Chupacabra - The Serviettes

They call me a monster but I don't know
Ain't everyone just trying to survive?
A story to tell your little ones in darkest night
Just doing what it takes to survive

I'm so lonely, I just need a friend
It's not really hard to comprehend
Why I feel so much antipathy
When I hear you call me...

Chupacabra, Chupacabra
Entonces, ¿por qué me temes tanto?
(So, why are you so afraid of me?)

Is it any wonder that I would hide from you?
It's pretty clear to me what you would do
You'd poke me, you'd prod me, you'd put me on display
You won't be surprised to realise that's not a game I'll play

If you glimpse me on some moonless night
Please don't think me too impolite
If I turn on my heels and head for the trees
I beg you not to follow me

Chupacabra, Chupacabra
Entonces, ¿por qué me temes tanto?
(So, why are you so afraid of me?)

I really like the instrumental, reminds me a lot of The Faint. Very danceable. However, the vocals didn’t feel very well integrated with the instrumental, particularly in the verses--I liked the chorus hook (although I had no idea that was a line in Spanish until I went and looked at the lyrics just now, haha. The gestalt sound was very English.) I think it’s that those long held notes over the uptempo groove give the impression that they’re constantly falling a bit behind the beat, and the vocals are pitchy in spots and mixed a bit loud. The lyrics mostly just faded into the background for me, although the word “antipathy” seemed stressed a bit oddly so I kept thinking about it every time I’d hear you sing it.
