Serial Killer
L. Del Rei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Find my one true love tonight
Do you think that he could be you?
If I pray really tight
Get into a fake bar fight
While I′m walking down the avenue
I know that what I do isn't right
I can′t stop what I love to do
So I murder love in the night
Watching them fall one by one they fight
Do you think you'll love me too, ooh, ooh?
Baby, I'm a sociopath
Sweet serial killer
On the warpath
′Cause I love you just a little too much
I love you just a little too much (much, much, much)
You can see me drinking cherry cola
Sweet serial killer
I left a love note
Said you know I love the thrill of the rush
You know I love the thrill of the rush (rush, rush, rush)
(You send me right to heaven)
Sweet serial killer
(I guess I′ll see him over)
Do it for the thrill of the rush
Love you just a little too much, much
(You send me right to heaven)
Sweet serial killer
(I guess I'll see him over)
I love you just a little too much
Love you just a little too much, much
My black fire′s burning bright
Maybe I'll go out tonight
We can paint the town in blue
I′m so hot, I ignite
Dancing in the dark and I shine
Like a light I'm luring you
Sneak up on you, really quiet
Whisper, "Am I what your heart desires?"
I could be your ingenue
Keep you safe and inspired
Baby, let your fantasies unwind
We can do what you want to do, ooh, ooh
Baby, I′m a sociopath
Sweet serial killer
On the warpath
'Cause I love you just a little too much
I love you just a little too much (much, much, much)
You can see me drinking cherry cola
Sweet serial killer
I left a love note
Said you know I love the thrill of the rush
You know I love the thrill of the rush (rush, rush, rush)
(You send me right to heaven)
Sweet serial killer
(I guess I'll see him over)
Do it for the thrill of the rush
Love you just a little too much, much
(You send me right to heaven)
Sweet serial killer
(I guess I′ll see him over)
I love you just a little too much
Love you just a little too much, much
(Just have fun) wanna play you like a Gameboy
(Don′t want one) what's the thrill of the same toy?
La la, la la la, la la, la la lie down, down
(Just have fun) wanna play you like a Gameboy
(Don′t want one) what's the thrill of the same toy?
La la, la la la, la la, la la lie down, down, down
You can see me drinking cherry cola
Sweet serial killer
I left a love note
Said you know I love the thrill of the rush
You know I love the thrill of the rush (rush, rush, rush)
(You send me right to heaven)
Sweet serial killer
(I guess I′ll see him over)
Do it for the thrill of the rush
Love you just a little too much, much
(You send me right to heaven)
Sweet serial killer
(I guess I'll see him over)
I love you just a little too much
Love you just a little too much, much
The lyrics to L. Del Rei's "Serial Killer" depict a woman who is a sociopath and a serial killer, but also seeks love and acceptance. The song opens with her expressing her desire to find her true love, questioning if it could be the person she's addressing. However, the lyrics soon reveal that she has a dangerous obsession with thrill-seeking and murder. She mentions how it makes her feel alive and uses her charm and seduction to lure in her victims. Despite her twisted tendencies, she claims that she loves the person she's addressing "just a little too much," and in the chorus labels herself a "sweet serial killer."
The lyrics of the song explore the theme of the blurred lines between love and obsession, and how dangerous it can be when those lines are crossed. They also touch on the societal fascination with crime that is prevalent in media and pop culture.

Wish I may, wish I might?
I hope to find my true love tonight
Find my one true love tonight
Hoping to find a compatible romantic partner
Do you think that he could be you?
Asking if the listener is a potential match
If I pray really tight
If I hope ardently enough
Get into a fake bar fight
Getting into a simulated altercation to seem interesting
While I’m walking down the avenue
During a casual stroll along the street
If I lay really quiet
If I am perfectly still
I know that what I do isn't right
She is aware that her actions are wrong
I can't stop what I love to do
She is compelled to carry out her actions
So I murder love in the night
She kills love interests under the cover of darkness
Watching them fall one by one they fight
Observing the struggle of those she murders
Do you think you'll love me too, ooh, ooh?
Asking if the love interest shares her feelings
Baby, I'm a sociopath
She is a sociopath who harms others without feeling remorse
Sweet serial killer
She kills repeatedly, seemingly for enjoyment
On the warpath
In a state of aggression
'Cause I love you just a little too much
She loves the person but exhibits the behavior of a stalker
You can see me drinking cherry cola
Her choice of beverage is cherry cola
I left a love note
She leaves a note for the love interest
Said you know I love the thrill of the rush
Admitting to the excitement of dangerous behavior
My black fire's burning bright
She feels fiery passion
Maybe I'll go out tonight
She considers leaving the house
We can paint the town in blue
She suggests a night of excitement and mischief
I'm so hot, I ignite
She is passionate and exciting
Dancing in the dark and I shine
She is vibrant in dim lighting
Like a light I'm luring you
She is enticing the love interest with her radiance
Whisper, 'Am I what your heart desires?'
Asking if she meets the love interest's ideals
I could be your ingenue
She can play the role of the innocent lover
Keep you safe and inspired
She wants to protect and motivate the love interest
Baby, let your fantasies unwind
Encouraging the love interest to be imaginative
Just have fun wanna play you like a Gameboy
She wants a playful, entertaining relationship
Don't want one what's the thrill of the same toy?
She dislikes routine and seeks novelty
La la, la la la, la la, la la lie down, down
Singing a catchy refrain

I feel like this song is sacred only to Lana stans and should be kept in the vault but at the same time it deserves more recognition 🤷🏻♀️
