Delivering an alternative take on the Scandinavian sound, Kill J is a project that was born out of a poetic longing for something simple, primal, dirty and pleasurable. The soundscape is smooth, dark and topped with airy and fragile vocals channeling the Nordic Noir but with a more voluptuous twist.

KIll J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know
I don't know
What I want from you
My feet are cold
But you already knew that - knew that
And everything I say is coming out like foam
We could go
Catch another show?
But then again
You don't wanna do that (do that) - no
Darling
How I know about her?
So warning
Honey don't bother
Running
Better run, I'm on fire
Falling
Moral debris
My metal
I'm caving in gravel, dust and emotion
Demolition, down, down, down
I don't even really know the way back home
But I go
And I go
And I go alone
Back to into the hole that I came from
And every time I cut a corner, its a loan
I'm floating on
Floating on
Over cobblestone
Like a ghost in the dawn
Black tile
Staring at me with no pity
Man-child
Looking for another titty
I'm old news in this city
I used to be so pretty
Darling
How I know about her?
So warning
Honey don't bother
Running
Better run, I'm on fire
Falling
Moral debris
My metal
I'm caving in gravel, dust and emotion
Demolition, down, down, down
The song 'Back Home' by KIll J is a beautifully written piece about feeling lost and alone while in a tumultuous relationship. The song begins with the singer expressing her frustration with her partner, who is unwilling to walk the way back home. She doesn't know what she wants from him, and everything she says is coming out like foam. The next few lines suggest that they could catch another show but her partner doesn't want to do that. It seems like no matter how hard they try, they can't seem to connect on anything. The singer is left alone, feeling cold and lost.
The chorus of the song is a warning to the singer's partner. She knows about another woman, and she advises him to run before it's too late. The singer is falling apart emotionally, and she feels like she's caving in. She's surrounded by debris and metal, and there's a sense of demolition all around her. She's lost, and she doesn't even know the way back home. However, she keeps on going, and she goes alone. She's floating over the cobblestone like a ghost, and the black tile keeps staring at her with no pity. She acknowledges that she's old news in this city, and she used to be so pretty.
Overall, 'Back Home' is a song about feeling lost and alone while being in a relationship. It's about the frustration of not being able to connect with your partner, the fear of losing them, and the pain of feeling forgotten and alone.

And I go alone
I am on this journey by myself
Back to into the hole that I came from
Returning to a place of darkness and pain
And every time I cut a corner, its a loan
Every shortcut I take has a price
I'm floating on
I'm in a state of detachment and disorientation
Floating on
In a state of detachment and disorientation
Over cobblestone
Through a rocky and challenging path
Like a ghost in the dawn
Haunting and elusive in the early morning light
Black tile
A dark and ominous environment
Staring at me with no pity
Being judged and watched without compassion or empathy
Man-child
An immature and irresponsible person
Looking for another titty
Searching for someone else to rely on or provide comfort
I'm old news in this city
I've lost my relevance and place in this community
I used to be so pretty
I was once confident and attractive
Darling

@disenchanter
it's because her lyrics.
she speaks the truth, even about generational familial SA, and that's super taboo usually
look up her song "Mama Taught Me Well. as a SA survivor the lyrics hit so hard but also she real so i fuck wit it
