Killer
Polytonics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Brother (brother)
Sister (sister)

It's the loneliness that's the killer

So you want
To be free
To live your life
The way you want to be
Will you give
If we cry?
Will we live
Or will we, die? Oh

Jaded hearts heal with time
Shoot that love
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
To live our lives
The way we wanna be, yeah

Oh, love love
Oh, love love

Brother (brother)
Sister (sister)
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
And besides
All our sons and daughters already know how that feels




Yeah, yeah, yeah
Made of love

Overall Meaning

The song "Killer" by Polytonics feat. Seal is a haunting ballad about loneliness and the potential for love as a remedy. The repeated lines of "brother" and "sister" seem to address the universality of these feelings. The first verse sets up the central problem: loneliness as a killer. The singer then expresses a desire for freedom to live life on their own terms, seeking the possibility of crying and living, rather than dying. The second verse asks the solitary brother and sister whether they still want to live and give, indicating that they have perhaps become more entrenched in their loneliness.


The bridge of the song invokes love as a healing force for the "jaded hearts," presumably including that of the singer. The final verse laments the potential harm of future kings who perpetuate racism and reinforces the idea that the song is about shared human experience, rendering any division pointless. "Killer" portrays a message of hope despite the dark themes, suggesting that love and compassion can still make a difference in a lonely world.
