KILLER
Starkillers vs. Seal 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 lyrics of "Killer" by Starkillers vs. Seal seem to talk about the destructive impact of loneliness on individuals and the importance of love and human connection in overcoming it. The song starts with the repetition of "brother" and "sister" which signifies the universality of the message and perhaps refers to a call for unity and empathy. The chorus, "It's the loneliness that's the killer," suggests that isolation and separation can be fatal to the human spirit, and that the desire for freedom should not come at the expense of sacrificing loving relationships. The lines, "Will you give if we cry? Will we live or will we die?" emphasize the urgency of coming together in times of need and the consequences that follow based on our response to those calls.

The verses ask some searching questions, "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 queries highlight the importance of recognizing our inner desires and needs and the value of sharing those with others. The line, "Shoot that love so we can stop the bleeding," perhaps refers to the healing power of love and the role it plays in overcoming emotional pain and trauma. The song ends with a message about the destructiveness of racism and a call for love and unity. The final line, "made of love," suggests that love is the defining characteristic of human nature.
