Killer
12.4 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Solo ferri per terra ma senza i colpi
Solo pezzi di merda ricordo i volti
In molti coi coltelli nella schiena sono morti
Morti per un punto debole come achille
Sono un esaurito sangue nelle pupille
Lo faccio per me non per comprarmi le ville
Lo faccio da pazzo perché sono un serial killer
In these lyrics from 12.4's song "Killer," the artist paints a vivid and chilling picture of violence and death. The opening lines depict a scene of blood-soaked puddles with lifeless bodies, setting a dark and foreboding tone. The mention of "ferri per terra ma senza i colpi" (weapons on the ground but without the shots) suggests that the violence has already occurred, leaving behind only the aftermath of destruction and death.
The lyrics go on to describe the perpetrator as someone who recalls the faces of the victims as "pezzi di merda" (pieces of shit), emphasizing a dehumanizing perspective towards the individuals they have killed. The reference to "molti coi coltelli nella schiena sono morti" (many with knives in their backs have died) hints at betrayal and treachery, highlighting the brutal and merciless nature of the killings.
The lyrics then delve into a deeper reflection on the character of the killer, mentioning a "punto debole come achille" (a weak point like Achilles). This allusion to Greek mythology suggests that the victims were vulnerable in some way, perhaps symbolizing the killer's ability to exploit their weaknesses for his own gain. The line "Sono un esaurito sangue nelle pupille" (I am exhausted blood in the pupils) evokes a sense of weariness or numbness towards the violence committed, portraying the killer as desensitized to the horrors he has inflicted.
The conclusion of the lyrics reveals the twisted motivation behind the killer's actions, declaring "Lo faccio per me non per comprarmi le ville / Lo faccio da pazzo perché sono un serial killer" (I do it for myself, not to buy villas / I do it like a madman because I am a serial killer). Here, the killer's lack of materialistic motives and acknowledgment of their own madness add a disturbing layer to the narrative, suggesting a deep-seated psychological compulsion driving their murderous behavior. Overall, these lyrics offer a chilling portrayal of a remorseless and disturbed individual who takes pleasure in inflicting death and suffering.
