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 of the song "Killer" by Ghost /\/ Ghoul speak of a dark and twisted love between two individuals who find beauty in silence and in the destructive temptations of life. The singer describes the sweetness of indulging in the pleasures of life, like the taste of sugar or a fine Merlot, as well as the dangerous allure of drugs and dolls. The two lovers are not alone, as there is a "creature" outside their paper walls, and they find comfort in being together, seeking to ignite and burn together in their ecstasy.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase, "Candy girl you will never ever, ever make me the perfect killer," perhaps referencing the idea that even amidst their self-destructive tendencies, they refuse to let the other person have complete control over them. The lyrics then invite the listener to join them in their rebellion, proclaiming "We Are Ghost" while warning to keep it quiet so as not to attract the attention of the "Kingdom." The song ends with the invitation to prayer while the music glows and the poison flows, and a final plea to not make the singer a perfect killer.
