Serial Killer
Human Zoo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got that new hairline
You got a decent smell
And you got that slice of pie
You got me hot steppin' through the midnight darkness
Like a hungry hound howlin' at the moon
You got that new car shine
All of your lies
Yes I've swallowed your pill
With eyes sharp like knives
No violence, you slash, I spill
You got me blue in the face
Quite ill right now
Do you believe that looks could kill
'Cause if they could
You'd be a serial killer baby
Hot steppin' through the midnight darkness
Like a hungry hound howlin' at the moon
You got that hint of lime
Got me believing in buyin'
You got me pale in the face
No chill right now
Do you believe that looks could kill
'Cause if they could
You'd kill the whole world baby
The lyrics to Human Zoo's song "Serial Killer" seem to depict a toxic relationship where the singer is infatuated with a person who possesses certain superficial qualities. The first few lines suggest that the person has a positive demeanor ("feel good vibe"), good looks ("new hairline"), pleasing scent ("decent smell"), and is attractive in some way ("slice of pie"). However, as the lyrics progress, it becomes clear that the person is deceptive and dangerous.
The line "You got me hot steppin' through the midnight darkness, like a hungry hound howlin' at the moon" conveys the singer's obsession and vulnerability. They are metaphorically wandering through the darkness, blindly following this person, like a desperate dog searching for something. Despite the lies and manipulation, the singer continues to believe in them, swallowing their deceptive "pill" and enduring the pain that comes with it.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's state of distress and illness caused by the toxic relationship. They feel "blue in the face" and unwell, wondering if the person's looks truly have the power to kill. The mention of being "pale in the face" suggests fear and anxiety. The singer implies that if looks could truly kill, this person would be a "serial killer," capable of destroying anyone who falls for their charm.
Overall, the lyrics portray the destructive nature of a relationship built on surface-level attraction and deceit. The singer is aware of the toxicity but feels unable to escape, captivated by the allure and danger of the person.
