About "I'm Not A Vampire", Loudwire said "On the track, frontman Ronnie Radke belts out an appealing chorus that will burrow in your head and linger there as he sings, 'I’m insane / Well, I can feel it in my bones / Coursing through my veins / When did I become so cold? / For goodness sake / Where is my self-control? / If home is where my heart is / Then my heart has lost all hope.' The song is complete with heavy guitar riffs and a serious guitar solo, plus soaring synthesizers along with crushingly upbeat drum patterns. Radke’s hasty deliverance of witty lyrics makes this song a treat, as well: 'My head is always spinning / From this dizzy, blurry vision / And my stomach has had enough / I feel like a lady / That is pregnant with a baby / ‘Cause I’m always throwing up.' One of the best and humorous parts of the song is when Radke cleverly sings 'Hi, my name is Ronnie / I’m an addict / Daddy should’ve never raised me on Black Sabbath.'”

Inspiration
The guitar solo included in "I'm Not A Vampire" is inspired by and closely resembles the work of Johann Sebastian Bach, possibly coming from "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor". "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" was also used as the sit-in theme for Bram Stoker's Dracula.
