Seal
Redzone Killer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you a bit about the scene
She's living in a private movie
Ego higher than a oscar high
Am I the one stupid if she thinks that she can fly
My oh my

In her head and so the cycle goes
But she's never really on her own
Now there's ten deals blowing up the telephone
They won't stop ringing ‘till there's no one home
She's long gone

You crave it, you make it
Not what you had in mind ok
Just keep the dream alive today
And just pray
‘Cause you stepped over their lifeless bodies
Finding fame, bright lights and money

You're a redzone killer, redzone killer
Not evil
Redzone killer, redzone killer
Just ruthless

More green than I've ever seen
Mama, that beast got a hold of me
Now I'm colder than I've ever known
Surrounded by people, yet I feel I'm on my own
Ohh no no

Now here's the ending that I think you know
A fool running for a crock of gold
No she's tongue tied talking to the telephone
End of this story: you see, she got sold
Or just old

You crave it, you make it
Not what you had in mind ok
If you hate it, don't say it
Just keep the dream alive today
(They won't miss you)
And just pray
(They won't miss you)
‘Cause you stepped over their lifeless bodies
Finding fame, bright lights and money

You're a redzone killer, redzone killer
You're fearless
Redzone killer, redzone killer
Just ruthless

You carry the weight of the world with his arm on your shoulder
Your man is can wait, it's your heart getting colder
Redzone killer, redzone killer

She can dream all over the world
But dreams don't care about girls




She can dream all over the world
But dreams don't care about girls

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Redzone Killer's song Seal describes the story of a girl who is living in a private movie with a huge ego that is higher than an "Oscar high". It is clear that she craves fame, bright lights, and money, as she steps over "lifeless bodies" to get to the top. The girl is never really on her own as she is always caught up in a cycle of deals and is constantly on the phone with people offering her opportunities. She seems disillusioned with the world as she is surrounded by people, yet feels like she is on her own. The lyrics end with the girl being consumed by her desire for fame and fortune, getting sold, or just getting old.


The song seems to be a commentary on the price of fame and stardom, highlighting the ruthlessness and fearlessness required to make it in the industry. The phrase "redzone killer" in the lyrics is used to refer to someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to become famous, including stepping over others to get there. The girl in the song is depicted as this kind of person, whose eagerness to achieve her dream ultimately leads to her downfall.


In terms of the music elements, the song's tempo is slow and melodic, with a strong electronic beat. The use of background vocals adds depth to the music and accents the lyrics, while the repetitive chorus reinforces the main message of the song.


Line by Line Meaning

Let me tell you a bit about the scene
I want to tell you about the setting


She's living in a private movie
She's living in a world of her own creation


Ego higher than a oscar high
She has a very big ego, full of herself


Am I the one stupid if she thinks that she can fly
Is it me who is foolish that she believes she can do the impossible?


My oh my
Wow


In her head and so the cycle goes
She is stuck in her own thoughts and can't escape


But she's never really on her own
People are always around her


Now there's ten deals blowing up the telephone
There are many business opportunities calling her


They won't stop ringing ‘till there's no one home
The phone keeps ringing even when no one is there to answer it


She's long gone
She's not mentally present


You crave it, you make it
You want something so much, you make it happen


Not what you had in mind ok
But it's not what you expected or wanted


Just keep the dream alive today
Just don't give up hope


And just pray
And hope for the best


‘Cause you stepped over their lifeless bodies
Because you did whatever it takes to succeed, even if it meant hurting others


Finding fame, bright lights and money
Finding wealth, recognition and fortune


You're a redzone killer, redzone killer
You are someone who will stop at nothing to succeed


Not evil
You are not necessarily a bad person


Just ruthless
You will do anything to achieve your goals


More green than I've ever seen
More money than I've ever had


Mama, that beast got a hold of me
The desire for success has control over me


Now I'm colder than I've ever known
I've become more callous than ever before


Surrounded by people, yet I feel I'm on my own
Even though I'm surrounded by people, I feel alone


Ohh no no
Oh no


Now here's the ending that I think you know
Now here's how I think this will end


A fool running for a crock of gold
Someone chasing after riches in vain


No she's tongue tied talking to the telephone
She's unable to speak when answering the phone


End of this story: you see, she got sold
That's the end of this tale - she was taken advantage of


Or just old
Or maybe she just got older and jaded


If you hate it, don't say it
If you don't like it, don't express your displeasure


You're fearless
You are not afraid to take risks


You carry the weight of the world with his arm on your shoulder
You feel like you are responsible for everything and it's weighing you down


Your man is can wait, it's your heart getting colder
Your love life can wait, your heart is growing colder


Redzone killer, redzone killer
You are a ruthless competitor


She can dream all over the world
She can dream about anything she wants


But dreams don't care about girls
But reality does not care about her dreams or aspirations
