My skin is theirs

One of the great things about an individual human brain is that it is making connections that no other brain does, just because of the context in which those connections are made. And I know that nobody else in the world probably thinks that Filter's 'Take A Picture' single from 1999 is all about the vampires in Kim Newman's Anno Dracula series, but I do.

All I know is that I was re-reading Newman's series at the time that song came out, probably because the thoroughly excellent Dracula Cha Cha Cha had just been released, and then I hear Filter on the radio in the loading dock at Farmers, and they're singing about taking a picture because they won't remember what they look like is obviously about how they will feel after they've turned vamp and gone cold to the camera; and they're talking about feeling like a newborn, which is how Newman often describes the newly-turned vampires; and what do you think of your son now that he's a bloodsucking monster?

Obviously it's not about that, and 10 seconds of research shows that it's about the frontman getitng drunk on a plane, but it's all about the fangs in my mind.
