Dillinger Escape Plan, The - One Of Us Is The Killer Lyrics






She moves abstract just
Like a shadow dancing on the edge
Like a storm cloud passing overhead
Effort-less and free
As the hours rush by
Through her I can sense the end of time
There’s no way this can forever shine
Make the sun not rise

[Chorus:]
In the air we tried to be
But you shot your arrow through me
Now one of us must die
But the killer won’t survive

She moves abstract just
Like a shadow dancing on the edge
Like a storm cloud passing overhead
Hypnotizing me
As the hours rush by
Through her I can sense the end of time
Stretch into eternity divine
And the sun wont rise

[Chorus:]
In the air we tried to be
But you shot your arrow through me
Now one of us must die
But the killer won’t survive

In the air we tried to be
But you shot your arrow through me
Now one of us must die
But the killer won’t survive
And the killer won’t survive
Survive
Survive

[Chorus:]
In the air we tried to be
But you shot your arrow through me
Now one of us must die
But the killer won’t survive

In the air we tried to be
But you shot your arrow through me
Now one of us must die
And the killer won’t survive
And the killer won’t survive

Dillinger Escape Plan, The One Of Us Is The Killer Comments
  1. J.... W....

    Am I the only one that gets radiohead vibes from the start of the song

  2. M.... C....

    This is the song that got me into DEP. I wasn't ready yet to process Prancer or 43% Burnt, but I kept listening to this song. One morning Prancer clicked and the floodgates opened.

  3. B.... R....

    It's sad that Dillinger broke up. We will always remember Mike Patton and Greg, old and new vocalist

  4. R.... B....

    Old school days listening to Pandora

  5. B.... C....

    My oldest son got me into this awesome band i love this

  6. T.... L....

    This needs to be used in Knives Out

  7. o.... ....

    Damm. The amount of talent. Greg is hands down one of the most talented singers ive ever heard. The range he covers, wow. And the people the think they sold out and all that..no they just grew and their art changed with age. Maybe time to grow up too ehhhhh hahahahah

  8. I.... P....

    Shit is so freakie sounding just the way I like it never be another song like it

  9. D.... M....

    My lab professor asked us to create a vinyl cover of a song we like. The cover had to be inspired by the music video, so the first song that popped into my head was this one for the eerie but somewhat warm ambiance. My classmates made some good choices with the content of their video, but most of them chose some overrated material as Billie Eilish and Lana del Rey. Of course my teacher did not know The Dillinger Escape Plan, so when I presented him the music video he was disturbed but kinda impressed. I believe he liked the idea and I have reasons to think he may have started listening to them. I have spread some great music taste ;)

  13. G.... S....

    Holy shit I had no fucking clue this song was Dillinger. I remember hearing it on the radio but it definitely doesn’t sound like anything else they’ve done.

  14. J.... ....

    Are this and when I lost my bet’s music video some kind of chronological pair? And might anyone know the story outside of gross entrails and shit?

  15. C.... R....

    Once you've heard one the Dillinger Escape Plan song, you've heard them a..... Wait.. what?

  16. E.... ....

    Edited this hit and made it into what could make it a hit all over again https://youtu.be/0RnBrvDPI2s

  17. P.... N....

    After hearing a lot of crap music, this restores me. Music is still alive.

  18. A.... R....

    shoutout to the bo1 Paris zombies map for introducing these guys to me

  19. i.... p....

    Firstly I thought it was Nothing But Thieves

  20. D.... L....

    This is just great. Nobody has this energy in their music

  21. S.... f....

    Do you guys remember the grindcore Dillinger Escape Plan??

    S.... f....

    Subscribe for free Sex well they were mathcore with some JAZZ. Nice joke though

  22. n.... g....

    Es Federico bal el cantante ??

  23. V.... V....

    Just an amazing song. I know it’s done, but one more album.

  24. D.... ....

    Perish :,)

  25. M.... C....

    That sequence of power chords in the bridge is chilling, it's scary but exciting at the same time, it's like watching the quiet guy transform, knowing he might snap at any time and kill everyone in the room. Such tension...

  26. C.... G....

    This band is a shameful mike patton rip-off

  27. I.... P....

    best. bridge. ever.

  28. o.... n....

    why does his voice remind me of adam levine 💀

  29. G.... D....

    The guitar sounds like The Ritual by Testament

  30. D.... T....

    She moves abstract just...

  31. S.... S....

    Needs to be longer smh

  32. D.... E....

    2:24 though

  33. J.... D....

    This song makes me want to turn into jigsaw

  34. D.... G....

    So fucking sexy. What a voice

  35. A.... Y....

    I always thought he was most clean cut and built handsome guy

  36. P.... Q....

    Can’t believe I only now discovered the Dillinger escape plan

  37. M.... F....

    such an elegant melody :o

  38. Z.... H....

    No heart. This shit big gay. Dick head escape nonsense

  39. 4.... ....

    The 90s called...they want their jam back.

  40. T.... D....

    1:46 The man reminds me of "The Puppeteer" (Creepypasta)...

  41. I.... 1....

    first time hearing this song and band and i wish it was longer, great video btw too XD

  42. A.... Z....

    I get Dexter vibes from this ❤️

  43. J.... F....

    the video reminds me of Silent Hill 3

  44. H.... L....

    Wow. this song has a Mars Volta kind of vibe

  45. B.... W....

    I swore for a few minutes that was Spencer Sotelo

  46. K.... E....

    Wish this band was still together, will always jam their albums, for' fucking EVER!

  47. A.... B....

    Me after playing Doki Doki Literature Club.

  48. A.... B....

    Best sex song.

    A.... B....

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  49. h.... k....

    I hope dat nosering doesn't mean he's into guys, coz i like my heroes the classic way
    i mean, it does get more bling as the time passes :D

  50. D.... C....

    Is anyone going to appreciate those teeth?

  51. B.... B....

    While I am not really into this "genre" or "sect" of "metal" for the most part, goddamn I will always have big love for Dillinger!!!

  52. h.... 0....

    this is fukkin cool as fuck ,, I cant get it out of my head ,, I love "the godfather" sort of intro I saw these guys at the Annandale in Sydney ,, I snuck in thru the back fence and had to wait for them to finish their thai food ,, no shit ,, !!!!

  53. M.... L....

    What a music video

  54. C.... B....

    "such a ballad of grace"

  55. a.... ....

    This reminds me of SIlent Hill.

  56. m.... m....

    Its all about relationships and doing the best you can when in love regardless of how rough things may be. The couple had a really bad argument and the chorus "but the killer wont survive" means they couldnt live without the other. Sums up what Greg said in an interview

  57. D.... F....

    does any one else think he looks like dirt nasty but if he was metal core

  58. B.... W....

    Love it when Dillenger slows down for a second, really shows off their versatility and gives the listener a second to breathe and take in the atmosphere

  59. T.... S....

    Not really a fan of them, but my God this song gives me chills

  60. A.... D....

    This is their only good song, by a long shot. Also, my dog could lip sync better.

    A.... D....

    Amy Decker what do you prefer? Manufactured pop written by an team of executives?

  61. K.... K....

    after you get turned down at a bar right before 2am and get to sulk in your horribleness at home while you destroy the rest of your gram...

  62. M.... M....

    It's like it tells the story of a man who has been rejected or cheated on. He sits in a rocking chair, stuck in the hideous phantasmagoria of imagining two lovers. Then there is the priest figure with bloody strings attached to his hands, symbolizing their unison in marriage maybe ? And eventually, the couple wakes up inside the rejected man's phantasmagoria and they are very afraid. So the man in this couple takes a poison pill to commit suicide, and he also makes his wife take one without her consent. In the end they are both dressed in black like in a funeral. The husband is sitting dead on a rocking chair with his wife dead on his lap. Hence, ''One of us is the killer''. The feathers falling at the end of the video are possibly the feathers of a swan. It is said that the ''swan song'' idiom tells that a swan remains silent throughout most of its life until it is about to die. When it is about to die, it sings the most beautiful song in the world. In this sense, the feathers falling at their funeral would mean that a swan has been symbolically killed in their names. Perhaps because the person who put the couple in that ''life or death'' situation found that the sight of the dead couple was a very beautiful event. There is also a part with a man that has arrows in his back at one point. He might've been someone who knew the couple before he got killed by what was possibly a serial killer.


    That was my take on it. What is yours?

  63. N.... a....

    So smooth.

  64. D.... D....

    This guys should stick to this rock sound cause when they try to go hardcore n heavy it turns into garbage!!!!

    D.... D....

    Too late. the story is written. DEP is done. It's beautiful garbage.

    D.... D....

    Nelson Koop well u no what I do to garbage ! It's going in the trash!!

    D.... D....

    Be sure to separate the recyclable items

    D.... D....

    I love it. Makes the sheltered, pretentious folks cower in fear...

  65. J.... H....

    Its so weird I thought this was like part of a quoted song...then I realized that I have heard this before and liked it,listened to it with an ex girlfriend....but really only remembered it as if it were a deja vu....very odd...like the videoand production of the song!! Awesome!
    But no Chris pennie?

  66. S.... ....

    that heart looks like kse end of heartache album cover

  67. C.... ....

    Que The Dillinger Escape Plan esté en la misma label que Asking Alexandria y I See Stars:

    MIEDITO

  68. P.... o....

    I think I just ate an orgasm?

  69. D.... t....

    Ya this song is great!, I prefer this voice in this song much more then other older stuff

  70. J.... C....

    One of my favorites songs from them because I love this song

  71. d.... u....

    Man, these guys got real shit.

  72. M.... C....

    I feel like the song was composed solely to showcase that brutal riff before the end.

    I'm not mad about it, that riff can justify a whole album.

  73. n.... o....

    DEP, Gj, SOAD, and the Deftones are all faith no mores illegitmate children.

  74. P.... L....

    "One of us must die, and the killer won't survive" So... they both die? Lyrics seem a bit aloof.

    P.... L....

    Yeah exactly. From both perspectives of a relationship, the one who see's themselves as most knowing is unknowingly the killer (in this case it's both sides). But after the fact, the killer will figuratively die because of the co-dependency that's been established with the other and realizes the relationship and whatever conflict or toxicity was a culminating effect of both persons. One doesn't exist without the other, basically.

  75. D.... ....

    perish ;)

  76. T.... ....

    Casey Affleck on guitar

  77. M.... ....

    Greg Puciato: The Adam Levine of heavy metal
