Killer
Valerie Broussard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybodyโฒs passing but you slowed down
And my heart is telling me to turn 'round
But my body wants me to stay
Looking sweet but boy I know you sneaky
With trophies in your backseat
All the girls that came before were easy
They told me you a killer, a killer
I saw your collection of hearts and I shoulda known better, better
โฒCause they told me you a killer, a killer
And I've got no doubt that the only way out of this thriller
Is if I am a killer too
Is if I am a killer too
Walking all alone, you know it's okay
โฒCause my tongue is sharper than a switchblade
Youโฒve been tryna elevate my heart rate
But you can't scare me no more
Looking sweet but boy I know you sneaky
With trophies in your backseat
All the girls that came before were easy
Before you met me
They told me you a killer, a killer
I saw your collection of hearts and I shoulda known better, better
โฒCause they told me you a killer, a killer
And I've got no doubt that the only way out of this thriller
Is if I am a killer too
Is if I am a killer too
Is if I am a killer too
Is if I am a killer too
Is if I am a killer too
The lyrics to Valerie Broussard's song Killer suggest that the singer is standing on a highway with her thumb out and nobody is stopping except for one person, whom she is attracted to but wary of. She knows that this suitor is sneaky and dangerous, with a collection of hearts from other women before her. Despite being warned that he is a "killer," she is tempted to stay with him and even considers becoming a "killer" herself in order to escape the situation.
The lyrics seem to be about the challenges of navigating a toxic relationship. The singer is constantly torn between her heart, which tells her to turn around, and her body, which wants her to stay. However, she is also determined not to be a victim or to have her heart broken like the other women who came before her.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that love can be risky and even deadly, but the singer is willing to take that risk in order to find genuine connection and protect her heart.
