mgk just dropped a new music video for his track “vampire diaries” from his upcoming album lost americana, due out on August 8. Excitingly, he shot the accompanying music video at New York City’s American Museum Of Natural History, aka the setting of Night At The Museum (2006). Iconic. And yes, if you’re wondering, the artist is still on his choreographed dance grind.
Of the dance break in the museum’s rotunda, mgk took to Twitter/X to say, “We only had two days to come up with and learn that dance break, and we shot, edited, and colored the entire video in 24 hrs so we could post today.”
Check out the full music video for “vampire diaries” below.
“vampire diaries” Lyrics:
I sleep against the bedroom wall
The sun comes out, and I can’t do nothing at all
I swear the life I live so boring
I don’t know why they make it look so cool in stories
‘Cause I can’t leave ’til it’s night time, and I can’t drink what I want
Tried to find the silver lining but it’ll kill me if I touch
And just walkin’ in the daylight is something I’ve never done
‘Cause I was born to fly, but, baby, I would die to run, so
Take, take, take me out
There’s so much I haven’t seen, don’t let me rot inside this town
Take, take, take me out
I know how it’s gonna end, but it’s too late to turn around (Hey)
I feel the heat on my skin, but I don’t care if it hurts
Ah-ah (I don’t care if it hurts, I don’t care if it hurts)
Yeah, I’ve found the fountain of youth, it turns out it’s a curse
Damn, okay (Turns out it’s a curse)
I’ve seen every cemetery, never been in the church, mm
I put a cross around my neck just to find out if it burns, so
Take, take, take, take me out
There’s so much I haven’t seen, don’t let me rot inside this town
Take, take, take me out (Take me out)
I know how it’s gonna end, but it’s too late to turn around
I let my fangs show, smile for the cameras
Cut both my wings so no one can tell
Find me in twilight turnin’ to ashes
If it’s my last breath, I’m happy as hell
Take, take, take me out (Take me out)
There’s so much I haven’t seen, don’t let me rot inside this town
Take, take, take me out (Take me out)
I know how it’s gonna end but it’s too late to turn around (Hey, yeah)
‘Cause I was born to fly, but, baby, I would die to run
‘Cause I was born to fly, but, baby, I would die to run
