Serial Killer
Lyfe Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes like I'm focused on you, bitch you bad and you know
All of that pain kept inside that you swear you can handle
All of those nights kept it secret to make me believe it
Oh yeah but girl I can tell yeah, I can tell
Girl I'm aware yeah, I can tell
Baby it's not what you think do you know who you are
Grind on a nigga, shine on a nigga
Show me what you want oh yeah, prove it to a nigga
Grind, what you do for your money
You're a serial killer you don't even know it
I turn these pills into powder to keep me in line
I know that you know what to do to get through to my conscience
And it's hard finding when searching ahead of your time
Double cup for the codeine to heal all the pain that your heart feels
Girl you say you love me I hear you, I think it's a lie
[?] so good, [?] so good
The lyrics of the song 'Serial Killer' by Lyfe Harris are open to interpretation. It seems like the artist is describing a toxic relationship with a woman. The opening lines, "Too focused on you while you watching me, girl come dance with this camera," can be interpreted as the artist being too focused on the wrong things while in a relationship. He is not paying attention to the woman's well-being and is too caught up in the moment. He then goes on to talk about her pain that she keeps hidden, believing she can handle it. However, the artist acknowledges that he can see through it: "Oh yeah but girl I can tell yeah, I can tell."
The chorus of the song, "You're a serial killer you don't even know it," could mean that the woman is harming the artist emotionally in a way that she may not realize. He further describes his use of codeine to mask the pain that he feels because of her.
The song's lyrics are dark and cryptic, and the overall tone of the song is moody and melancholic. Lyfe Harris's emotive voice delivers a heartbreaking message, which makes this track stand out.

All of that pain kept inside that you swear you can handle
You're keeping your pain inside, thinking you can handle it.
All of those nights kept it secret to make me believe
You've been hiding your struggles to make me think everything's okay.
Oh yeah but girl I can tell yeah, I can tell
I can see through your facade.

You have power over my thoughts and feelings.
And it's hard finding when searching ahead of your time
It's difficult to predict what the future holds.
Double cup for the codeine to heal all the pain that your heart feels
I drink codeine to numb the emotional pain I feel.
Girl you say you love me I hear you, I think it's a lie
You say you love me, but I don't believe it.
