Killer
Unveiling the Dark Symphony: Decoding Kali Uchis' Killer
Lyrics
Baby, have you got no soul?
Questioning if the person lacks empathy or depth
Is your heart a gaping hole?
Asking if their heart is empty or void
How come I didn't see that in you? Oh oh
Expressing surprise at not recognizing these traits before
How come I can forgive you?
Wondering about one's capacity to forgive despite shortcomings
And if you loved me
If the person truly cared
You'd never do this
They wouldn't engage in hurtful actions
No oh, if you loved me
Reiterating that if there was genuine love
You wouldn't put me through it
They wouldn't subject the speaker to pain
That makes you a killer, a killer, oh a killer
Labeling the person as a metaphorical "killer" due to their actions
That makes you a killer, a killer, a killer
Reaffirming the label of the person's behavior
Forever is for dreamers (for dreamers)
Belief that lasting commitment is for idealists
And it's foolish to not know you're a schemer
Acknowledging the person's deceitful nature
It's silly, I think of our unborn children
Reflecting on thoughts about a future family despite present deceit
'Cause all I'm really thinking about right now
Realizing the impossibility of knowing that future due to current circumstances
Is how I'll never know them
Grieving over the loss of potential experiences with children
And if you loved me
Reiterating the idea of caring actions reflecting love
You'd never do this
Expressing the damage inflicted on the relationship
Our future's battered and bloody
Describing the future as damaged and wounded
You're so fucking ruthless
Highlighting the person's extreme lack of mercy or compassion
That makes you a killer, a killer, oh a killer
Repetition of the metaphorical label "killer" due to their impact
That makes you a killer, a killer, oh a killer
Emphasizing the damaging nature of their behavior
That makes you a killer, a killer, a killer
Reiteration of the person's classification as a "killer"
That makes you a killer, that makes you a killer
Final confirmation of the person's status as a "killer"
