Killer
Kat - Somewhere In Poland 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 Somewhere In Poland is a dark and somewhat disturbing portrayal of a killer on the loose in a city. The first lines set the scene for an urban environment, with a "stony monument of dirt-city", which creates a bleak and oppressive tone. The second line "knife concealed in dark, face covered up" suggests that the killer is lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce on an unsuspecting victim. The third line "city gettin' silent, city's sleeping" suggests that the killer strikes at night when the city is at its most vulnerable.

The following lines hint at the killer's mindset, suggesting that they take pleasure in mocking the city and its inhabitants while they carry out their evil deeds. The second verse describes how the killer waits for their prey, using language that suggests that they are hunting like an animal. The lines "human glance is sweet, though you notice, looks of greed, envy, lust, tears of hate" suggest that the killer enjoys the power they have over their victims and takes pleasure in their suffering.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "killing, human dreams, like shadows, hauntin' the corpse, blood and the corpse." This repetition reinforces the idea that the killer is depraved and unfeeling, seeing their victims as nothing more than objects to be hunted and killed. The final lines of the song, "dead line, death fuck you, no, no, death fuck you" suggest that the killer is almost taunting their victims, knowing that they will never escape from their grasp.
