    General Comment:I think people are reading into this song too much! Nothing to do with vampires I don't think, just a simple but great pop song about not being able to get someone off your mind! Maybe being infatuated or just in love! A great song to dance to though :)

    General Comment:The meaning of this song is quite obvious, after some consideration: it's about vampires. Kylie is a human with an overwhelming crush on a creature of the night.


    I just can't get you out of my head
    Boy your loving is all I think about
    I just can't get you out of my head
    Boy it's more than I dare to think about

    This opening establishes her obsession, and this is reinforced by its repetition throughout the song. Vampires are known for fascinating and dominating their victims over the course of weeks as they visit each night and drink just a little bit of blood. Read "Dracula," by Bram Stoker, for an example of this. However, there's a subtext here in the last line: Kylie's not entirely unaware of what's happening. She wants to submit to the vampire's thrall, but she knows on some level that his nightly visits will lead to her death -- and possibly more. She can't deal with the thought, so she pushes it aside.


    Every night
    Every day
    Just to be there in your arms

    Her undead lover is with her every night, but the nights aren't enough for her. She wants to be in his arms every day, too. The days leave her feeling cold and empty, and it's not just the anemia.


    Won't you stay
    Won't you lay
    Stay forever and ever and ever and ever

    She wants him to stay with her, and lay her in the cold earth of his coffin. Forever...
    She realizes what he is, and she wants to be turned. To exist forever as the undead, stalking the night and lying with him by day.


    La la la
    La la la la la
    La la la
    La la la la la

    I just can't get you out of my head
    Boy your loving is all I think about
    I just can't get you out of my head
    Boy it's more than I dare to think about

    This revelation is too much for her, and she retreats to the comfort of thinking that he's just an ordinary paramour. The humanity left in her shudders at the thought of becoming a creature of the night -- it's more than she dares to think about.


    There's a dark secret in me
    Don't leave me locked in your heart

    Set me free
    Feel the need in me
    Set me free
    Stay forever and ever and ever and ever

    It doesn't work. She acknowledges the dark secret in herself: she welcomes the cold embrace of death, and the opportunity to rise and hunt humans like wild game. She was always a bit of a misanthrope, but her empathy and other trappings of humanity kept those feelings in check. The transition to vampirism strips away love, empathy, and warmth, leaving only bloodlust, rage, and sadism. Her dark secret is that she welcomes this. She knows that being turned would set her free; release her from the binding, complicating influence of human emotions, and allow her to embrace the stark simplicity of sociopathy: the strong preying on the weak. She begs her vampire lover to feel this dark need in her. To recognize her potential to be the greatest terror the night has ever known. She asks him not to let that terror remain a figment of his imagination, "locked in his heart." She commands him to unleash her on the world, and promises an eternity together, feasting on the blood of the innocent and reveling in the chaos they would cause.


    La la la
    La la la la la
    La la la
    La la la la la

    I just can't get you out of my head
    I just can't get you out of my head
    I just can't get you out of my head...

    The vampire consents, and begins the process of siring her. As he drains her nearly dry of blood, she writhes in pain and ecstasy; helpless, but getting exactly what she wants. Just before she slips into true death, he offers his own unclean blood to her lips. She drinks, and as her life fades away, she thinks of nothing but her eternal partner-to-be, and how she will be vindicated when she rises from the grave.
