Murder
Big K.R.I.T./Cunninlynguists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your blue smoke hits my eyes
Another way of diving
So danger has no price
The feeling of your slowness
Traces out of sight
These ever returning spirits
Murder murder, come inside
Murder murder, hold me tight
Murder murder, please return
Murder murder, has to burn
Touch me while I treat you
We're leaving everything behind
It seems you're getting higher
Black toys inside my mind
The lyrics to the song "Murder" by Big K.R.I.T./Cunninlynguists are enigmatic and open to interpretation. The song begins with a reference to a bright light that keeps on shining while smoke causes irritation to the eyes. The next line delves into a metaphor where diving represents an alternative approach to handling danger, which has no price. The theme of recklessness and risk-taking is further emphasized in the line "we're leaving everything behind," which invokes a sense of escape and transcendence.
The next verse is more cryptic, with lines like "the feeling of your slowness" and "traces out of sight" painting a picture of a haunting sensation that is difficult to describe. However, the mention of "ever returning spirits" suggests a cycle of familiarity, perhaps with the ghosts of past deeds or memories. The chorus of "murder murder, come inside, hold me tight, please return, has to burn" adds a layer of dread and foreboding to the lyrical landscape, implying that something violent or destructive is on the horizon.
The final verse of the song is perhaps the most intriguing, with the phrase "black toys inside my mind" conjuring up a disturbing image of psychological turmoil and inner conflict. The juxtaposition of pleasure ("touch me while I treat you") with the sinister imagery suggests a conflicted persona who is grappling with their demons.
