[FKA Twigs - killer lyrics]
It's dangerous to be a woman in love
I'm walkin' quicker
But you're pickin' up
Feel like I'm navigatin' muddy waters
Heal us
My daddy told me call him
When I get home
But you consume me when I'm all alone
I'm hoping we can find deliverance
Heal us
I don't wanna die for love
But a holy love
That one and only love
My life is worthy of
Dancin' in the dark
I can feel it in my heart, you're a killer
But I didn't wanna call it
Something in the way you put your hands
On my waist, pulled me nearer
No, I never wanna call it
Didn't wanna call it, didn't wanna call it
Took your love for righteous
And now I'm in a crisis with a killer
Woah!
You got me questionin' what to believe in
Since when did happiness become a sin?
Since when did hurt become deliberate?
Heal us
I don't wanna cry for love
But a holy love
That one and only love
My tears are worthy of
Dancin' in the dark
I can feel it in my heart, you're a killer
But I didn't wanna call it
Something in the way you put your hands
On my waist, pulled me nearer
No, I never wanna call it
Didn't wanna call it, didn't wanna call it
Took your love for righteous
And now I'm in a crisis with a killer
Woah!
When I doubt myself around you
I look at pictures of me before you
Girl gone wild
I'll shave my hair off
To get you out of my head
And even eating's hard without you
When it's your love
I want to consume, it's true
Hunger pains, no
I can't live without you
Dancin' in the dark
I can feel it in my heart, you're a killer
But I didn't wanna call it
Something in the way you put your hands
On my waist, pulled me nearer
No, I never wanna call it
Didn't wanna call it, didn't wanna call it
Took your love for righteous
And now I'm in a crisis with a killer
Woah!
I'm walkin' quicker
But you're pickin' up
Feel like I'm navigatin' muddy waters
Heal us
My daddy told me call him
When I get home
But you consume me when I'm all alone
I'm hoping we can find deliverance
Heal us
I don't wanna die for love
But a holy love
That one and only love
My life is worthy of
Dancin' in the dark
I can feel it in my heart, you're a killer
But I didn't wanna call it
Something in the way you put your hands
On my waist, pulled me nearer
No, I never wanna call it
Didn't wanna call it, didn't wanna call it
Took your love for righteous
And now I'm in a crisis with a killer
Woah!
You got me questionin' what to believe in
Since when did happiness become a sin?
Since when did hurt become deliberate?
Heal us
I don't wanna cry for love
But a holy love
That one and only love
My tears are worthy of
Dancin' in the dark
I can feel it in my heart, you're a killer
But I didn't wanna call it
Something in the way you put your hands
On my waist, pulled me nearer
No, I never wanna call it
Didn't wanna call it, didn't wanna call it
Took your love for righteous
And now I'm in a crisis with a killer
Woah!
When I doubt myself around you
I look at pictures of me before you
Girl gone wild
I'll shave my hair off
To get you out of my head
And even eating's hard without you
When it's your love
I want to consume, it's true
Hunger pains, no
I can't live without you
Dancin' in the dark
I can feel it in my heart, you're a killer
But I didn't wanna call it
Something in the way you put your hands
On my waist, pulled me nearer
No, I never wanna call it
Didn't wanna call it, didn't wanna call it
Took your love for righteous
And now I'm in a crisis with a killer
Woah!
About the song FKA Twigs - killer
1. I can’t quite describe what this song does to me. It hurts me then heals me. It slaps me, insults me, it worsens my anxiety but than carry me in its arms with forgiveness and grief. It takes me to another dimension but then slowly takes me back to reality with all of it’s taste.
2. I went to Twigs’ MAGDALENE show at the Park Avenue Armory in 2019 and she broke down in tears multiple times while performing. We didn’t know at the time what she was battling behind closed doors but then she bravely told her story of surviving abuse last year. I’m so excited for her next album because this track is already so emotional and impactful. We as a society really underestimate what artists go through to create a body of work. We just consume it without considering what goes into it. It takes so much energy to put your entire soul into a song, an album, a dance, a video— especially after experiencing trauma. She does it with so much grace and brilliance. There is truly no other artist out today that is anything like her. It breaks my heart to think we almost lost her. We need to protect her at all costs!
3. I mean, this is just art isn't it? This is not just a record with a video to go with it but an emotional experience that brings you in touch with all those emotions you feel when you are a woman in love. The end scene when Piper is masked gave me chills. It's astonishing to me how Twigs keeps producing such beautiful work. I honestly listen to her music at some point every day and killer is now on repeat. Thank you Twigs, your music is like a gift to us, I can't think of anyone else ATM who is this creative and talented.
