Killer by Phoebe Bridgers

About Killer

“Killer” is a melancholic piano ballad on which Bridgers explores the dark corners of her psyche whilst struggling in a relationship. Open and honest, Bridgers imagines the idea of her own death to cope with her insecurities and fear of abandonment. While the song’s subject matter is bleak, Bridger employs sweet and soulful vocals to convey a sense of desperation and even a glimpse of hope, as John Doe (X) contributes baritone harmonies on the song’s Chorus. .

Killer Lyrics

[00:18.55] Sometimes I think I'm a killer
[00:23.64] I scared you in your house
[00:26.64] I even scared myself by talking
[00:31.14] About Dahmer on your couch
[00:35.54] But I can't sleep next to a body
[00:39.68] Even harmless in death
[00:43.84] Plus, I'm pretty sure I'd miss you
[00:48.11] And faking sleep to count your breath
[00:54.17] Can the killer in me tame the fire in you?
[01:03.02] Oh, is there nothing left to do for us?
[01:10.62] I am sick of the chase but I'm hungry for blood
[01:19.74] And there's nothing I can do
[01:26.27]
[01:42.96] But when I'm sick and tired
[01:46.97] And when my mind is barely there
[01:51.29] When a machine keeps me alive
[01:55.18] And I'm losing all my hair
[01:59.22] I hope you kiss my rotten head
[02:03.32] And pull the plug
[02:07.58] Know that I've burned every playlist
[02:12.68] And I've given all my love
[02:21.50] Can the killer in me tame the fire in you?
[02:30.50] I know there's something waiting for us
[02:38.17] I am sick of the chase but I'm stupid in love
[02:46.83] And there's nothing I can do
[02:52.82]
[02:55.66] And there's nothing I can do
[03:01.52]
