Killer On The Loose
Faker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a killer on the loose, get gone
And if you stop to say, "I'm on"
You know we'll never make it back, move on
You said
Let the ride, it went through your head
And we said
There's nothing left to do, move out
And tell me if you don't agree, just count
All the time you've been left in doubt
Yeah, there's a killer on the loose, just shout
You said
Like the ride, it went through your head
And we said
That we tried, but could not pretend
And they said
Let the ride, open your eyes
(There's nothing left to do, move on)
(There's nothing left to do, move on)
And they can say, at least I think they said
He had dark hair, dark eyes
And you can say, yeah, I thought you said
Oh, you're never going to get it right
Well, there's a killer on the loose, wake up
You see I want you to contest my gut
'Cos I know just where you'll end up
No we'll never make it back, we're cut
You said
Like the ride, it went through your head
And we said
Though we tried but could not pretend
And they said
Let the ride, let open your eyes
Let open your eyes
(Let open your eyes)
There's nothing left to do, move on
(Let open your eyes)
Faker's song "Killer On The Loose" is a cautionary tale about moving on when there is danger present. The lyrics of the song suggest that there is a killer on the loose and the only way to survive is to leave the situation. The repeated line "there's nothing left to do, move on" emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the need to act quickly. The song also plays with the idea of pretense, suggesting that pretending to be safe is not enough and that action is required.
The lyrics also include mentions of a ride, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for life. The idea that the ride "went through your head" suggests that the characters in the song are struggling to handle the situation and are overwhelmed by the danger they are facing. The repeated phrase "let the ride" could be interpreted as a call to accept the dangers of life and to face them head-on.
Overall, the song is a powerful message about the importance of recognizing danger and acting quickly to protect oneself. The haunting melody and repeated lyrics make for a memorable and emotional song.
