Killer
Kat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A stony monument of dirt-city
Knife concealed in dark
Face covered up
City gettin' silent
City's sleeping
Only the killer mocks

Waiting
Hunters, find your victim
Human glance is sweet, though
You notice
Looks of greed, envy lust
Tears of hate
Now you'll know yourself better at last
And your dreams
Like shadows
Huntin' the corpses
Blood and the corpse

Killing
Human dreams
Like shadows
Hauntin' the corpse
Blood and the corpse




Dead line, death fuck you
No, no, death fuck you.

Overall Meaning

The song "Killer" by Kat portrays a dark, eerie and violent mood through its lyrics. The song describes the actions of a killer in a city at night. The first verse talks about a "stony monument of dirt-city" which depicts a city that has lost its charm, and has become a concrete jungle. The killer is hiding in the dark with a knife and their face covered. The silence of the city hints that everyone is asleep, except for the killer who is mocking the situation. The second verse is about the killer waiting for their prey like a hunter. The killer is driven by their personal desires and is luring their victim with their sweet and tempting appearance. However, the victim soon realizes the true intentions of the killer, as their dreams turn into shadows, and they become hunted prey. The chorus talks about the killer's human dreams like shadows, which are haunting the corpses, symbolizing the killer's thirst for blood and violence. The last line, "Dead line, death fuck you, No, no, death fuck you," depicts the killer's indifference towards the society and the consequences of their actions.
