Serial Killer
Rage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jack the Ripper guiding me
When you laughed I had to cry
As you tread me, so shall I
Cut 'till you bleed, that's what I need
I eat you alive and then I will watch when you die
Hot is the city here, I sit and drink my beer
I feel a need come with my inner heat
Soon I'll be out again, out to release my pain
Lady of sin, come, let me in
Yes, I, I'm killing you serial
And I, I chop off my victims heads (collect/number)
Yes I, I'm killing you serial, I'm serious
And I will find myself in good company
'Cause man is a killer, oh can't you see
Peter Kürten, John Christie
And Fritz Haarmann inspiring me
You have stomped all over me
What you've built, this will be me
I want no sex, just chainsaw your legs
I love when you scream and then I will watch your blood stream
I'm like a slave, a servant of the grave
There is an inner voice, leaving me not a choice
I'm deaf and blind, in my distorted mind
No room for empathy, a monster I must be
Drowning in blood, now I am god
The lyrics of "Serial Killer" by Rage describe the inner workings of a psychopathic killer, who is inspired by the infamous murderers Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Jack the Ripper, Peter Kürten, John Christie, and Fritz Haarmann. The killer feels a need to inflict pain and is driven by an inner voice that leaves no choice. The lyrics mention the desire to cut someone until they bleed, eat them alive, and watch them die. The killer also finds pleasure in chopping off victims' heads, screaming, and blood streaming. They feel like a slave, a servant of the grave, and drowning in blood. The song ends with the killer seeing themselves as a god.
