Serial Killer

Chrome Division's song "Serial Killer" delves into the disturbing psyche of a person grappling with their dark urges and the realization of their identity as a serial killer. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the internal conflict and confusion experienced by the protagonist. The opening lines reveal a restless mind, plagued by thoughts that keep them awake at night. This sets the stage for the unfolding narrative of self-discovery and horror.

The chorus, with its haunting repetition of the question, "Could I be a serial killer?" underscores the protagonist's struggle to comprehend their actions and the gravity of their situation. The use of the word "thriller" evokes a sense of suspense and fear, reminiscent of classic horror stories. The protagonist's realization that they are the subject of a manhunt adds to the tension, as they grapple with the duality of their existence – the person they thought they were versus the monster they have become.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's urges become more pronounced, and the line between right and wrong blurs. The visceral imagery of blood and the protagonist's reaction to it – "Her blood opens my eyes so I can see" – signifies a moment of clarity and acceptance of their true nature. The final verse, where the protagonist acknowledges their identity as a serial killer, is chilling in its simplicity and finality. The repetition of "Yes it is so easy" highlights the ease with which the protagonist has slipped into this dark role, leaving the listener with a sense of unease and reflection on the nature of evil.
