PrettyBaby 2,220 Posted September 6, 2012 Baby, I’m a sociopath, Sweet serial killer. On the warpath, ‘Cause I love you just a little too much I love you just a little too much (much, much) You can see me drinking cherry cola, Sweet serial killer, I left a love note Said you know I love the thrill of the rush. You know I love the thrill of the rush (rush, rush). Everyone else in the world seems to think these highlighted lines are "Sweet serial killer" too, but I can't make myself hear it that way. Does anyone else hear "It's a real killer" at these spots? I know I'm not losing my mind, there's only five syllables there... right? (You send me right to heaven)... Sweet serial killer (I guess I’ll see him over). Thank you!!! This is the first plausible interpretation I've heard for the spoken portions. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilentity 13,351 Posted September 6, 2012 You can see me drinking cherry cola I've always heard "cherry Coke". (You send me right to heaven), Sweet serial killer (I guess I’ll see him over). "You send me right" doesn't sound quite right. And it sounds more like "I guess I'll see you never" to me. 0 Quote Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation.

PrettyBaby 2,220 Posted September 6, 2012 I've always heard "cherry Coke". I hear Cola. "You send me right" doesn't sound quite right. And it sounds more like "I guess I'll see you never" to me. It could be "You send me up" but there's definitely a long "O" in the last part. Listening to the song right now, it sounds like she says it differently the second time: "If I'm ever up to heaven... I guess I'll take you over" But I'm not sure. This song is kicking my butt. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monicker 3,035 Posted September 8, 2012 Everyone else in the world seems to think these highlighted lines are "Sweet serial killer" too, but I can't make myself hear it that way. Does anyone else hear "It's a real killer" at these spots? I know I'm not losing my mind, there's only five syllables there... right? PrettyBaby, you apparently are losing your mind, sorry. It’s okay though, you can go ahead and commit yourself to the asylum that is now taking patients who dislike I Sing The Body Electric. It’s Cherry Coke and sweet serial killer. Though to your credit it really does sound like it’s a real killer if you tell yourself that’s what it is as you listen to the line. It's hard to decipher the line because she pronounces serial oddly (for rhythmic purposes) by placing the accent on the middle syllable, RI, rather than the customary first syllable, SE, so it sounds awkward, hence the confusion. However, the giveaway is that the first sound of the line is undeniably an S sound. That's what makes it certain. Also, the fact that she indisputably says sweet serial killer very clearly in the other section of the song adds to the likelihood that that is indeed what she is singing previously, no? Ugh, some of the Auto-Tune in this song. WHY? That goddamn software should never go anywhere near her ever again. It’s so incredibly unnecessary. 1 Quote "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." -Wittgenstein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hundred Dollar Bill 21,809 Posted October 7, 2012 Everyone else in the world seems to think these highlighted lines are "Sweet serial killer" too, but I can't make myself hear it that way. Does anyone else hear "It's a real killer" at these spots? I know I'm not losing my mind, there's only five syllables there... right? Oh my god. I heard this initially too! I always thought it was It's a real killer until I read the lyrics someone posted, then I listened closely and I heard Sweet serial killer too. I like the way It's a real killer sounds better, but the latter makes more sense in the overall song. Ugh, don't you just HATE it when you're listening to a song and the artist gets the lyrics wrong? Sheesh. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QueenofAlchemy 186 Posted March 17, 2014 see, I hear sweet serial killer first, then It's a real killer second so...

strange weather 1,954 Posted May 9, 2015 so the live performance is a little different than the recorded version, right? when i first listened to it i was convinced it was "drinking cherry COLA" (because of the background vocals) but then it became clear to me that it was COKE (esp. since it rhymes better with 'note'). however--in the live version she is clearly singing "cola." hmmmm 2 Quote let me be who i'm meant to be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delreyfreak 5,342 Posted May 9, 2015 I knew it was 'cola' and not 'coke' all along! The fact that in Florida Kilos she says "drink a cherry cola lime" also seemed to confirm to me that it was cola. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NEAL 740 Posted January 15, 2016 Wah, my brain tricked me into thinking that I've commented Serial Killer before, or maybe it was in MermaidMotel? Anyhoo, does it need for the OP to be summoned to edit these kind of abandoned posts or can mods edit them? I'm listening a 4:33 length version, ya know just in case there's other length of the file due to dead air or sth. What I believe is, that even in the song it was always Cola. Never quite heard It's a serial killer. You can see me drinkin' cherry co.. (laaah) Though it sure can be Coke, the live video confirmed (the alt-lyric, if you will) the Cola line. And oh how the backlyric amused me. As the song progresses towards the end, the instrumentation got crowdier and my brain is hearing all sorts of convoluted, ridic lines, one after the other. Such as: 01:11 (If summer ne'er had to happen) Sweet serial killer~ (I guess I'll see you never...) do it for the thrill of it all <--what does he do it for, then? 01:11 (This summer had to happen) <-- A plan? A trip in the summer? 01:11 (December had to happen) <-- What? Mayan apocalypse? That day we met? 01:23 (You said, (you'd) never let'it to happen) 01:23 (He said, ...) 02:46 (If us ne'er had to happen) Sweet serial killer~ (I guess I'll see another (boi)...) .... <--just plain logic lel 02:57 (He sent an'envelope to heaven) Sweet serial killer~ (I guess I'll see you never...) <--- an envelope to heaven, no comment, maybe to reply a postcard. But surprise us, Lana... The moans, the vocalization, the sweeping strings, the low-key menacing strings, the beats... easily made it one of my all time fave ;'))!! 4 Quote ..but believe me when I say that the surveillance we live under is the highest privilege compared to how we treat the rest of the world.

Jazzmin 302 Posted March 31, 2016 When it comes to the problematic line, I can't ward off my idiotic associations with cereals I hate it when some irrelevant thought of this kind "destroys" (doesn't mean I cease to like it but the song becomes hilarious even if Lana didn't mean it to be) a song for me, it's still better than "Black Beauty", though: initially I kept picturing a horse (because of Anna Sewell's novel) every time I heard the chorus and it took me quite a while to weed it out. And OMG, I was so happy when I saw a vid of her performing this song I started hoping that one day she will embrace all of her unreleased stuff. 1 Quote And the wind I know it’s cold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
