Serial Killer
Elizabeth Grant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Find my one true love tonight
Do you think that he could be you?
If I pray really tight
Get into a fake bar fight
While I′m walking down the avenue
I know that what I do isn't right
I can′t stop what I love to do
So I murder love in the night
Watching them fall one by one they fight
Do you think you'll love me too, ooh, ooh?
Baby, I'm a sociopath
Sweet serial killer
On the warpath
′Cause I love you just a little too much
I love you just a little too much (much, much, much)
You can see me drinking cherry cola
Sweet serial killer
I left a love note
Said you know I love the thrill of the rush
You know I love the thrill of the rush (rush, rush, rush)
(You send me right to heaven)
Sweet serial killer
(I guess I′ll see him over)
Do it for the thrill of the rush
Love you just a little too much, much
(You send me right to heaven)
Sweet serial killer
(I guess I'll see him over)
I love you just a little too much
Love you just a little too much, much
My black fire′s burning bright
Maybe I'll go out tonight
We can paint the town in blue
I′m so hot, I ignite
Dancing in the dark and I shine
Like a light I'm luring you
Sneak up on you, really quiet
Whisper, "Am I what your heart desires?"
I could be your ingenue
Keep you safe and inspired
Baby, let your fantasies unwind
We can do what you want to do, ooh, ooh
Baby, I′m a sociopath
Sweet serial killer
On the warpath
'Cause I love you just a little too much
I love you just a little too much (much, much, much)
You can see me drinking cherry cola
Sweet serial killer
I left a love note
Said you know I love the thrill of the rush
You know I love the thrill of the rush (rush, rush, rush)
(You send me right to heaven)
Sweet serial killer
(I guess I'll see him over)
Do it for the thrill of the rush
Love you just a little too much, much
(You send me right to heaven)
Sweet serial killer
(I guess I′ll see him over)
I love you just a little too much
Love you just a little too much, much
(Just have fun) wanna play you like a Gameboy
(Don′t want one) what's the thrill of the same toy?
La la, la la la, la la, la la lie down, down
(Just have fun) wanna play you like a Gameboy
(Don′t want one) what's the thrill of the same toy?
La la, la la la, la la, la la lie down, down, down
Ahhh
You can see me drinking cherry cola
Sweet serial killer
I left a love note
Said you know I love the thrill of the rush
You know I love the thrill of the rush (rush, rush, rush)
(You send me right to heaven)
Sweet serial killer
(I guess I′ll see him over)
Do it for the thrill of the rush
Love you just a little too much, much
(You send me right to heaven)
Sweet serial killer
(I guess I'll see him over)
I love you just a little too much
Love you just a little too much, much

Toda vez que ouço "O Maior ou A Maior Serial Killer da História" fico pensando que, durante o colonialismo europeu sobre povos nativos de todos os continentes, com toda certeza houveram serial killers que a gente JAMAIS vai ter notícia, com milhares talvez dezenas de milhares de assassinatos cometidos contra mulheres, idosos, gestantes, crianças, bebês, executados de forma sistemática, ininterrupta e impune por toda uma vida.

Inclusive gostaria de pontuar o seguinte: existem historiadores que contestam esse natureza e história da condessa contada até hoje. Há a possibilidade dela ter sofrido uma conspiração para que a igreja tomasse posses que ela havia herdado. Nada mais comum do que a igreja chamando pessoas aleatórias de bruxas e corrompendo sua história como no caso de alguns cientistas os julgamentos foram esclarecidos mais tarde... Como é uma mulher e a narrativa fica mais interessante assim, melhor deixar quieto.

@ingrid oliveira acredito também nesse ponto vista, ela foi vítima de ambição, já que ela era muita rica e dona cerca de 2/3 do território da Hungria, o rei e o primo dela armaram tudo.

@ingrid oliveira existe gente que contesta em tudo, nem todo mundo vai concordar com tudo, como diz uma famosa frase: Nem jesus agradou a todos. Mas aí eu te faço uma reflexão e as pessoas deveriam perguntar tbm para esses historiadores que contestam essa história da Condessa de Sangue, e os Corpos encontrados nos castelos? Isso não era mentira, qual a resposta? Eram muitos, e muitos ossos tbm eram encontrados, agora reflita aí.
Elon Dias
@Kaka pesquisa Direito tu vai ver que no dia do julgamento dela não foram apresentados evidências de tais coisas.

Terá punição espiritual essa mulher

Também creio que inspirou a Lady Dimitrescu do Resident Evil Village. Num dos aposentos dela, você entra numa sala onde provavelmente ela tomava banho com sangue das camponesas que trabalhavam no castelo. Nas masmorras também encontramos diversos instrumentos e locais de tortura e camponesas que após a tortura e experimentos se tornaram monstros, fora os documentos encontrados que relatam as torturas e diziam também que algumas camponesas que cometiam erros eram enviadas para as masmorras e nunca mais retornavam. Antes de entrar no castelo da Lady Dimitrescu uma determinada personagem relata que que no castelo só há sangue e morte e quando entramos no castelo escutamos um grito de uma mulher. E não posso esquecer da garrafa de vinho especial de sangue virginal (sanguis virginis) que precisamos encontrar para resolver um puzzle.

Sem contar Com a referência que são as garras longas da dimitrescu
Troquei o nome (era pior)
@luis gustavo não acho que seja uma referência, a maioria dos monstros tem garras longas

@Troquei o nome (era pior) Elizabeth ganhou a "garra " do seu marido e a dimitrescu ganhou da Miranda, pra mim parece uma inspiração mas sla né
