Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To live your life
The way you wanna be
Will you give, if we cry?
Will we live, or will we die?
Solitary brother
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Solitary brother
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Tainted Hearts
Heal with Time
Shoot our love
So we can
Stop the end
Will you give, if we cry?
Will we live, or will we die?
Solitary brother
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?

Wants to give?
That wants to give?
In Bastille feat. F*U*G*Z's song "Killer," the lyrics are questioning the desire for freedom and the willingness to give and help others in need. The song starts with a question: "So you want to be free?" The singer then goes on to question whether the listener would be willing to give and help others if they were crying and in need. The repeated lines of "solitary brother" and "solitary sister" suggest a feeling of isolation and loneliness, despite the desire for freedom.
The lyrics then ask: "Is there still a part of you that wants to live?" and "Is there still a part of you that wants to give?" These questions highlight the struggle between personal freedom and the responsibility to help others. The phrase "tainted hearts" suggests that there may be a sense of guilt or regret for not helping others in the past. However, the line "heal with time" offers hope for redemption and healing.
Overall, the lyrics of "Killer" touch on themes of personal freedom, social responsibility, isolation, and redemption. The repeated phrases of "solitary brother" and "solitary sister" create a sense of community and shared human experience, despite the individual struggles for freedom and meaning.
