Patrolla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sister, sister
It's the loneliness that's the killer
So you want
To be free
To live your life,
Will you give,
If we cry?
Will we live,
Or will we, die?
Oh
Jaded hearts heal with time
Shoot that love (oh whoa whoa whoa)
So we can
Stop the bleeding, oh
Solitary brother (brother)
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister (sister)
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Solitary brother (brother)
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister (sister)
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
If we try
Live our lives
The way we wanna be yeah
Oh, love love
Oh, love love
Oh, love love
Brother, brother
Sister, sister
Brother, brother, brother, brother, brother
There's no other love, there's no other love, there's no other love
There is no other love, no other love like ours
There's no other love, there's no other love, there's no other love
There is no other love, no other love like ours
There's no other love, there's no other love, there's no other love
There's no other love, there's no other love, there's no other love
There is no love
Solitary brother (brother)
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister (sister)
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Solitary brother (brother)
Solitary sister (sister)
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Racism in among future kings can only lead to no good
Besides, all our sons and daughters already know how that feels
Yeah yeah yeah
Love love love
The song "Killer" by Patrolla featuring Seal is about loneliness and the need for human connection. The lyrics start with "Brother, brother, sister, sister," acknowledging the bond between siblings and the importance of family. It then goes on to say, "It's the loneliness that's the killer," which highlights the destructive nature of isolation. The chorus asks, "Will you give, if we cry? Will we live, or will we die?" emphasizing the urgency of human compassion and the necessity of our actions towards one another.
The verses address the individual struggles of feeling alone, with "Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that wants to live? Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that wants to give?" These lines suggest that even when we feel like we're on our own, we have to remember that we need to live and give back to others. At the same time, the song acknowledges that healing takes time, as "jaded hearts heal with time." This line suggests that the scars we carry from past trauma or loneliness can only be healed with time and patience.
Ultimately, the song is a call to action for people to stop the cycle of hate and division, represented in the lines "racism among future kings can only lead to no good." The song ends on a note of hope and love, with the repeated chorus of "love love love" and the final line, "there is no love like ours."

the vocal is really emotional, and the drop gives me a sadness + epic feelings somehow.
and MOTi's signature sound "cow bell" is really cool.
