Killer on the Rampage
Eddy Grant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You left me with a problem
Now I know what it's all about
You took my heart and split it up
Now you know what it's all about

How do you feel my love?
Do you feel it as I walk away?
How do you feel my love?
Do you feel it as I walk away?

Who knows what kind of pity for
Excuse you from yourself
To justify the misery
That you put yourself within

How do you feel my love?
(Ay? My?)
Do you feel it as I walk away?
How do you feel my love?
Do you feel it as I walk away?

Need to find myself all that I've got left
Used up, ooh, I'm used up
Need to cry but still got to show my will
Been used too much

How do you feel my love?
Oh, child, do you feel it as I walk away?
How do you feel my love?
Oh, oh, oh, child, do you feel it as I walk away?

Need to find myself all that I've got left
Used up, ooh, I'm used up
Need to cry but still got to show my will
I've been used too much

How do you feel my love?
Do you feel it as I walk away?
How do you feel my love?
Do you feel it as I walk away?

How do you feel my love?
Do you feel it as I walk away?




How do you feel my love?
Do you feel it as I walk away?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eddy Grant's song Killer on the Rampage express a feeling of loss and betrayal in a relationship. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been left with a problem after their heart has been split in two. The chorus poses a question to the object of their affection - how do you feel my love? - and wonders if they feel the same pain and sadness as they walk away. The second verse suggests that the person who left may have been trying to justify their actions with some kind of excuse or pity, but that ultimately they have caused themselves misery as well.


The song's final lines suggest that the singer is searching for a way to move on from the hurt they've experienced, even though they feel they've been "used up" by the relationship. The repeated refrain of "How do you feel my love?" implies that the singer is seeking a sense of closure or understanding from the person who hurt them, but also that they may never truly know the answer.


Overall, this song is a melancholy reflection on the pain of losing someone we love and the difficulty of moving on from that loss. The lyrics offer a window into the complex and often contradictory emotions that arise in the aftermath of a breakup, from anger and betrayal to sadness and self-doubt.

Lyrics:
There's a killer on the rampage
Don't feel no fear
Can't kill my love for you, a-hoo
Don't feel no fear
Killer on the rampage
Don't feel no fear
Can't kill my love for you, a-hoo
Don't feel no fear

Trying to get near, but don't you worry
Words out on the street, got his eyes on you
Trying to get there, but don't you worry
So I thought I'd let you know
I thought I'd let you know

There's a killer on the rampage
Don't feel no fear
Can't kill my love for you, a-hoo
Don't feel no fear
Killer on the rampage
Don't feel no fear
Can't kill my love for you, a-hoo
Don't feel no fear

Absolutely clear, but don't you worry
Ain't gonna let you go in a hurry
Even if it comes to a showdown
Well, I gotta let you know
I'm gonna fight him tooth and nail
