You send me up to heaven

Sweet serial killer

I guess I'll see you never

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,621]

You send me up to heaven

Sweet serial killer

I guess I'll see you never

Where's that part?

 

edit: mm the background vocals

[Blue Champagne 147]

I Love this song!

[reputation 6,321]

song is about a drug, probably one that has a "rush" in it and causes mass death within its user. 

 

in the same sense, the drug is a serial killer as much as she is to the drug and her real life lover

 

she is speaking as both the drug and herself

 

I think this is the slight nod to Jonestown

 

 

or maybe just a sense of cocaine/drinking problem

You send me up to heaven

Sweet serial killer

I guess I'll see you never

this is another thing.

 

first, she talks about the drug sending her up to heaven

 

than her boyfriend (who might have introduced him to the drug, they're both serial killers? butterflies teas.)

 

since she's dying, well, they're not gonna see each other

[LAman 3,224]

Does anyone know why Lana never released this song? Is there a story behind it? 

[mkultraviolence 5,832]

a classic

Does anyone know why Lana never released this song? Is there a story behind it? 

 

i believe i read it was intended for born to die just like marilyn monroe/puppy love and you can be the boss were. i hope someone else can back this up cause this is what i remember reading.

Did you guys know about this? Peter Ibsen (producer of Serial Killer, Paradise (song), & This is What Makes Us Girls demo 2 & 3)'s apparent manager made an account on Lana Wiki in 2015 and posted this:

 

''I'm Eve, the assistant to Peter Ibsen.

Not sure how to contact you directly on here as admin so excuse the open contact here.

As you know, we recently updated information on the Lan Del Ray song Serial Killer here which was co-written and produced by Peter ’Nerso' Ibsen

As you now also know, while still unreleased, the song is featuring on Lana’s current US tour, hence why everything is coming up now. Peter & Lana wrote and recorded the song in March 2011 prior to Lana’s record deal and it was an integral part in her actually getting a deal. During the same period they also wrote and recorded "Paradise". Peter produced both songs along with a version of "This Is What Makes Us Girls". As you know, all 3 tracks were later leaked.

We were recently contacted regarding the tour inclusion. We ourselves are incredibly secret, private, protective and secure about our clients and the work Peter does with them and we actually weren’t aware that the songs had been leaked.

Obviously, we know the songs were always very dear to Lana’s heart and it has always just been a matter of time before she’d actually properly expose them but as there's currently a lot of speculation, we thought it would be better to set the record straight.

Thank you.

Eve''

This is forever my favourite song of all time.

[maxthehitman 1,729]

This is forever my favourite song of all time.

 

 

I love this song too,  the lyrics and music

[Soozuki 365]

I- this came out two weeks ago? what in tf

[Elle 122,823]

Something really interesting that came out of the posting of this on Spotify is the cover art featuring her handwriting - it looks to include some demo lyrics!

 

in the bottom left you can see 

“Sun setting on Melrose Place, sweet serial killer

Sippin’ lemonade, baby u know I love the thrill of the rush”
Ironically enough, the line “so I’m sittin’ sippin’ cherry coke” is crossed out right above, even though she used 'cherry coke' instead of 'lemonade' in the final version. 
 

Towards the right you can see “if I play my cards right /// bar fight?” 
which eventually of course became “If I pray really tight, get into a fake bar fight”

Lyrics from Peter Ibsen:

Spoiler

Wish I may, wish I might?

Find my one true love tonight

Do you think that it could be you?

 

If I pray really tight

Get into a fake bar fight

While I'm walking down the avenue

 

If I lay really quiet

I know that what I do isn't right

I can't stop what I love to do

 

So I murder love in the night

Watching them fall one by one they fight

Do you think you'll love me too, ooh, ooh?

 

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, much)

 

You can see me drinking cherry coke

Sweet serial killer

I left a love note

Said you know I love the thrill of the rush

Know I love the thrill of the rush (rush, rush, rush)

 

(You sent me right to heaven)

Sweet serial killer

(I guess I'll see you never)

Do it for the thrill of it all

Love you just a little too much, much

(You send me right to heaven)

Sweet serial killer

(I guess I'll see you never)

I love you just a little too much

Love you just a little too much, much

 

My black fire's burning bright

Maybe I'll go out tonight

We can paint the town in blue

 

I'm so hot, I ignite

Dancing in the dark and I shine

Like a light I'm luring you

 

Sneak up on you, really quiet

Whisper, "Am I what your heart desires?"

I could be your ingénue

 

I keep you safe and inspired

Baby, let your fantasies unwind

We can do what you want to do, ooh, ooh

 

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, much)

 

You can see me drinking cherry coke

Sweet serial killer

I left a love note

Said you know I love the thrill of the rush

Know I love the thrill of the rush (rush, rush, rush)

 

(You sent me right to heaven)

Sweet serial killer

(I guess I'll see you never)

Do it for the thrill of it all

Love you just a little too much, much

(You send me right to heaven)

Sweet serial killer

(I guess I'll see you never)

I love you just a little too much

Love you just a little too much, much

 

(Just have fun)

wanna play you like a Gameboy

(Don't want one) lost the thrill of the same toy?

La la, la la la, la la, la la lie down, down

(Just have fun) 

wanna play you like a Gameboy

(Don't want one) lost the thrill of the same toy?

La la, la la la, la la, la la lie down, down, down

 

You can see me drinking cherry coke

Sweet serial killer

I left a love note

Said you know I love the thrill of the rush

Know I love the thrill of the rush (rush, rush, rush)

 

(You sent me right to heaven)

Sweet serial killer

(I guess I'll see you never)

Do it for the thrill of it all

Love you just a little too much, much

(You send me right to heaven)

Sweet serial killer

(I guess I'll see you never

I love you just a little too much

Love you just a little too much, much
