Killer
Northern Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you want, to be free
Live your life, the way you want to be
Will you give, if we cry
Will we live yeah, or will we die, oh

Tainted hearts heal with time
Shoot bad love so we can
Stop the bleeding

Solitary brother (solitary brother)
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister (solitary sister)
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Solitary brother (solitary brother)
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister (solitary sister)
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?

If we try, to live your life
The way we want to be

Yeah, yeah
Solitary brother (solitary brother)
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister (solitary sister)
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Solitary brother (solitary brother)
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister (solitary sister)
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?

Racism in future kings can only lead to no good
And besides, all our sons and daughters already know how that feels





Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love, love, love, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Northern Kings's song "Killer" speak to the desire for freedom and the struggle to find purpose in a world filled with pain and heartache. The opening lines, "So you want, to be free/Live your life, the way you want to be," set the stage for a discussion of how difficult it can be to achieve this type of freedom. The singer asks whether we will "give" and "live" or "die" as a result of our actions. The idea of sacrificing for a greater good, even in the face of hardship, is a central theme in this song.


The chorus repeats the questions posed to a "solitary brother" and "solitary sister" about whether they still have "a part of you that wants to live" and "a part of you that wants to give." These questions suggest that we all struggle with feelings of isolation and disconnection, and that it is important to find a way to connect with others and make a positive impact on the world. The bridge of the song addresses the idea of racism and how it can only lead to "no good," emphasizing the need for love and acceptance in our society.


Overall, "Killer" is a song about overcoming adversity and finding a sense of purpose and belonging in our lives. It encourages us to think about the ways we can make a positive impact on the world, and to never give up on our desire for freedom and happiness.

dude I fucking agree! They also did good covers of Easy Livin by Uriah Heep and Temple of The King by Dio, I love the Human Bondage album though haha, it is the most dark and intense out of all of their albums!
