Killer
ghost//ghoul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like sugar the sweetest thing I ever tasted
Like a fine merlot
And white pills cut on glass and lips of dolls
I'm told there was beauty in our silence
So hold me angel, love me angel

Kiss the sun and burn our lips dead radio
Candy girl you will never ever, ever make me the
Perfect killer
Outside the rabbit hole is a candy shop of poison

A velvet tongue demur is cast and melted
We are not alone
A creature stirs outside these paper walls
These gods are hollow and burned
Ignite this angel, love me angel

Kiss the sun and burn our lips dead radio
Candy girl you will never ever, ever make me the
Perfect killer
Outside the rabbit hole is a candy shop of poison

The sweetest thing I ever tasted...
Invite me to pray, let the music glow
Ignite my eyes and watch the poison flow

Say it with me: "We Are Ghost"
Not too loud, the Kingdom follows

Kiss the sun and burn our lips dead radio
Candy girl you will never ever, ever make me the
Perfect killer
Outside the rabbit hole is a candy shop of poison
Kiss the sun and burn our lips dead radio
Candy girl you will never ever, ever make me the
Perfect killer
Outside the rabbit hole is a candy shop of poison




Make me the perfect...killer
Invite me to pray and let the music glow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ghost//Ghoul's song "Killer" are both haunting and alluring. The song opens with the singer comparing their experience with someone to sugary sweetness and a fine wine. They go on to mention white pills cut on glass, which likely refers to drugs being consumed. However, the singer seems to find beauty in the silence that falls between them and their lover. They ask to be held and loved by an angelic figure.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Kiss the sun and burn our lips dead radio," which can be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be a reference to the destructive nature of their love or a suggestion to embrace the passion they share. The singer declares that their partner can never make them a perfect killer, implying that their relationship is destructive but not fatal.


The latter half of the song touches on the presence of something sinister outside of their enclosed space. They mention a "creature" and "paper walls" that contain them. They also refer to the gods around them as hollow and burned. Despite these dark undertones, the singer asks to be ignited and loved once again by their angel. They end the song with a call to action, inviting the listener to join them in their ghostly world.
