Phoebe Bridgers - Killer + The Sound Lyrics






Sometimes I think I'm a killer
Scared you in your house
Even scared myself by talking
About Dahmer on your couch

But I can't sleep next to a body
Even harmless in death
Plus I'm pretty sure I'd miss you
Faking sleep to count your breath

Can the killer in me
Tame the fire in you?
Is there nothing left to do for us?
I am sick of the chase
But I'm hungry for blood
And there's nothing I can do

But when I'm sick and tired
When my mind is barely there
When a machine keeps me alive
And I'm losing all my hair

I hope you kiss my rotten head
And pull the plug
Know that I've burned every playlist
And given all my love

Can the killer in me
Tame the fire in you?
I know there's something waiting for us
I am sick of the chase
But I'm stupid in love
And there's nothing I can do
And there's nothing I can do

Nothing ever comes like it did when you were in it
Just a memory of a kid, just a washed out finish
Just a pain-in-the-ass Johnny Cash middle finger
No shooting up drugs, no quitter is a winner

Nothing ever comes like it did when you were in it
Keeping nothing for yourself like a stone cold killer
Now you're passing your people like a ship in the night
Looking to every stranger for a fight

Nothing ever comes, ever comes if you call it
Choking like a dog, like a dog on a collar
Open up your mouth, your mouth if you want it
Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound is coming down

Hoping that you like, that you like how you're living
Relying on the kindness of strangers that you will be forgiven
How many times, how many times will you shit on what you're given?
How many times, how many times 'til you shut up and listen?

Nothing ever comes, ever comes if you call it
Choking like a dog, like a dog on a collar
Open up your mouth, your mouth if you want it
Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound is coming down

Nothing ever comes, ever comes
Choking like a dog, like a dog
Open up your mouth
Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound is coming down

Nothing ever comes, ever comes if you call it
Choking like a dog, like a dog on a collar
Open up your mouth if you want it
Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound is coming down

Phoebe Bridgers Killer + The Sound Comments
  1. P.... m....

    Just magnificent

  2. C.... S....

    Amazing..............

  3. 3.... p....

    music that draws emotion out of the listener is a long lost art this revives my hope in the music industry

  4. R.... M....

    I don't think I've been emotionally moved by a song in so long. This piece of art is so healing. 🖤

  5. R.... E....

    Beautiful and meaningful~ touching and real... Saved for the right time...now is the time...

  6. l.... m....

    There's the music, the harmonies, the chemistry, the ubiquitous drone filling the blank spaces, and the handover from track to track, and those checks would suffice to call this video very good.
    Yet, for some other reasons I cannot fathom right now, this is something else than very good:
    This could well be the most *lovely* music video I've seen in my life.

  7. P.... H....

    Oh , how beautiful !!!

  8. J.... W....

    Stunning.

  9. S.... P....

    Wow. Beautiful 💘

  10. R.... F....

    I'm blown away.

  11. A.... K....

    Eviscerated.

  12. J.... G....

    Noah Gundersen as influenced by all those Nelly music videos...

    J.... G....

    Jesse Gagnon jaja

  13. A.... R....

    Jesus what a combo they would make

  14. C.... B....

    why is the title for this video a complex math equation?

  15. D.... C....

    God, this is gorgeous.

  16. s.... m....

    Beautiful

  17. A.... L....

    Real beautiful music from real beautiful people

  18. T.... J....

    i don’t think i can listen to her ever again without crying

  19. M.... M....

    Amazing

  20. M.... A....

    this is one of my favorite songs in the last few years, easily top three

  21. J.... P....

    These two songs should have always been one. So good

  22. v.... ....

    How could anyone actively not like this...?

  23. �.... ....

    미쳤다....하...경이롭구나

  24. H.... K....

    Fantastic!!!!!

  25. Y.... X....

    What is that constant creaking sound in the background?

    Y.... X....

    I think that sound was being played from the tape deck which was turned on and off at the beginning and end of the video.

  26. l.... t....

    this just ruined my day what a terrible song.

  27. a.... v....

    This is the shittiest song I ever heard in my entire life... made me puke and shit at the same time XD

  28. A.... R....

    una verga mas grande que la de luciano castro

  29. V.... C....

    “Sing the right words or I’ll put a bandaid on the other side of your face!”

  30. B.... ....

    Sometimes I think Phoebe Bridgers is a killer

  31. P.... S....

    This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen and heard. The piano, the individual voices and the harmonies. It's just so good. 🙌💙

  32. A.... A....

    This video title look like arithmetic and boolean operation

  33. E.... B....

    OMG this is just amazing...the harmony is unreal. and Phoebe is just ridiculous....PERIOD!

    E.... B....

    El Bee have you ever heard of, or listened to Boygenius? It’s an indie supergroup consisting of Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus..I also suggest you listen to Julien Baker’s solo music aswel because it’s, for lack of better words, it’s pure heavenly!! So is a lot of phoebe Bridgers music!! To put it simply..huge fan of these brilliant and talented ladies

    E.... B....

    @trey bigswan Uh yes, very much so. I have been listening to those ladies a lot lately. Julien Baker is fantastic.

    E.... B....

    El Bee indeed she is!!

  34. M.... H....

    There is so much life in the souls of Phoebe and Noah! I'd pay a lot to see this live.

  35. A.... B....

    What is making the pad in the background of this piece?

  36. R.... S....

    Vocal harmonies make life worthwhile.

  37. T.... M....

    Beautiful song... music to me is like air, can't live without it. Thank you ❤️️☮🎵🎵🎶🎼

  38. I.... U....

    Stuff like this reminds you why music is important. beautiful.

  39. J.... C....

    The selfishness of wanting the suffering of the one you love to end, even if he too wants it to stop - makes you a "killer." The hardest love is the letting go. The hardest love is the letting go because the end is accepted. Every death, every divorce knows this. The precious has to pass without us, not you and I, but Us. The beauty of together stops suddenly. And in the aftermath, how to deal with the guilt? Trying to break free, only to choke on the collar that holds your guilt back. You did the right, but it feels like your love was somehow the end of the love itself. Come up for a breath. Realize in the open air, there is freedom in the beauty of letting them go, to let love live again.

    J.... C....

    James Cook ok James cook u beautiful bastard

  40. G.... G....

    Success ........ and all, ..... beautiful melody !!! :-)))))

  41. G.... G....

    .... beautiful !!! Sound....:-(

  42. a.... g....

    I also really want to know what happened to Noah’s face.

    a.... g....

    The joke is that she punched him before a shoe. He joked about it on stage. Theres a live video of it on youtube

  43. a.... g....

    This is so incredible. Never heard anything else like it in my life.

  44. I.... M....

    Wow. Beautiful.

  45. s.... e....

    this version/arrangement of these songs makes me cry everytime

  46. D.... M....

    This song is magic.

  47. M.... ....

    magical

  48. s.... n....

    I have never heard of any of these people but for the love of music this is simply irresistible

  49. S.... O....

    The boy got beat up you, so much for your killer.

  50. A.... H....

    A week ago I loved this song. Today it hurt too much to listen to it. Love death and time weigh heavy on the wounded heart.

  51. J.... T....

    Amazing song. Can we get some love for the audio engineers on this one.

  52. c.... ....

    Piano reminds me a bit of the feel in Harold Budd/Eno Not Yet Remembered https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvgmXR-Er3A&list=PLzWmNYF6L9EFZ27Gu-0cky-sAFjSEWqN3&index=6

  53. R.... L....

  57. O.... C....

    This is the most beautiful song I've ever graced my ears with in my life.

  58. s.... a....

  60. L.... W....

    Phoebe I love you so much.... feels like melting... pouring.... and .....heart shaking

  61. E.... Y....

    Stunningly poetic and haunting. Hey

  62. B.... G....

    Great job on The Sound it got me there.

  63. W.... W....

    The Sound striped down, damn! That's awesome!

    W.... W....

    I think it's so much better with this vibe. It's a beautiful performance all around.

  64. P.... ....

    Holy tomoly....mesmerized me. I agree with Elijah P......nailed it.

  65. R.... B....

    Always keep coming back to this tune. Such lovely chemistry.

  66. c.... s....

    i'm actually crying this is really magic

  67. X.... Y....

    This song reminds me of a song I've been looking for for ages, the chords are really similar as is Noah's voice (particularly at 1.50). The chorus went 'here's to you...' and that's all I remember. Any ideas?

    X.... Y....

    X. Y. A. Is it “The Shadowlands” Ryan Adams ?

    X.... Y....

    Is it “The Shadowlands” by Ryan Adams ?

  68. J.... T....

    It's amazing how much that single chord change in the chorus from the original version of Killer really changes the whole song. So good

  69. M.... G....

    3:39 ❤️

  70. B.... ....

    i listen to this song everyday and somehow i still never get tired of it.

  71. s.... ....

    What would it take to get this on vinyl?

  72. D.... B....

    Nelly really switched genres here....

  73. J.... C....

    Wow.. What a song, pure emotions!

  74. M.... P....

    The blonde’s voice is uber annoying but the dude’s voice is good.

  75. T.... ....

    This is unbelievable.

  76. E.... B....

    This just gets better each time I revisit it. I am a fan of Phoebe and Noah and Abby and the unique but relatable emotions they paint with their music so it intrigued me that they recorded together. When I first heard it, I liked it but was thrown by it because I was just trying to understand how the songs fit together. The more you listen to it though, you begin to let their performances and words really marry and sit with you, and it fascinates me how these two songs begin to create a deeper meaning like a good book, but with music. It's not clear to me exactly what it is, and I'm sure it's a little different to everyone who hears it, but it really taps into quite a feeling listening to these two songs back to back in such a fluid way.

  77. P.... V....

    Her and Abbey are the most beautiful women I have ever seen.

  78. J.... M....

    "I hope you kiss my rotten head and pull the plug" is such an impactful line for some reason.  Fuck, I feel it.

  79. E.... E....

    Oh cool my heart tastes great thanks

  80. J.... M....

    seriously, this breaks my heart and at the same time it fills me up with light. the talent in this video is ridiculous

  81. J.... A....

    It opens every piece of me.

  82. J.... H....

    Why does this not have hundreds of millions of views?

  83. M.... J....

    Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound is coming down - ain't that the truth

  84. p.... a....

    this song sampels another famous song and i dont understand why they dont give credit

  85. R.... H....

    I have only recently found Phoebe's music. It has become my new obsession. And this is amazing! I need to dive into Noah's work now too.

  86. S.... R....

    I've listened to this song on repeat for about an hour. What an incredible ensemble of performers.

    S.... R....

    R.I.P bro... seriously what's wrong with you???

  87. N.... ....

    Smashing

  88. A.... m....

    Awesome!! Abby killed it! wow

  89. M.... T....

    Noah got his ass beat. Makes this even doper.

  90. S.... F....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FfVjqnpGNE&t=278s

  91. S.... ....

    That were good.

  92. F.... G....

    what happened to his face?

    F.... G....

    Yeah, what did happen to his face? That's been bugging the shit out of me for the past year.

    F.... G....

    @HankDennemann right? i even did some insta stalking and googling if he was in a bar fight or something.

  93. 2.... ....

    man, when the hell are you guys going to be on the east coast?...New Jersey, New York?...I hope soon!
    Heard your guys today on WERS Emerson College radio (Boston)....

  94. J.... U....

    Jesus Christ this is good.

  95. C.... L....

    This song absolutely kills me. I hope they do more collaborations. The three of them harmonizing together is pure emotion for me.

  96. f.... ....

    Parts of this remind me of St. Vincent's "New York" (in a good way).

  97. N.... C....

    For suuuure could be wrong but if anyone’s tryna play and mess around with it I think the first song is in the key of C playing with some inversions

    Verses: Cmaj7-C and ends on a G into tho chorus

    Chorus: Dm-Am-E-F-C-G

    While the 2nd song is in the key of Am (relative key of C)

    Am-C-F is the whole song I believe (with inversions)
    The female vocals go down to a G as well so (Am-C-F-G)

  98. A.... S....

    This may be the best thing to have ever hit my eardrums

    A.... S....

    Then you must have a serious problem with your eardrums

    A.... S....

    @alva v. true words mate get your ears controlled this song just fucked up my ears and day😵

  99. M.... ....

    nice tune but his 'dressing' (no medic uses a plaster) and emo makeup are pure publicist fodder, shame when they've defo enough character themselves
