Fun Assassin Lyrics
You to me
Like a magnet to a flame
Like a mirror in the dark
And we're off to a bad start again
Dawn begins
This is what the summer became
Only strangers walking down from the beach
Where did we bury the time?
Fun assassin, killing fun for kicks
Stab me in the front, tell me that I'm jinxed
Fun assassin, take off your disguise
Look me in the eye and lie
Lost in space
Waiting for a bus from this place
And when I get there, I'll just fold up my map
Drop it and never look back
Fun assassin, hijack the parade
Suck out all the air, polish up the cage
Fun assassin, treat me like I'm stone
Push me to the back and moan
Fun assassin, pulling out my hair
Smash out all the lights, kicking out my chair
Fun assassin, take off your disguise
Look me in the eye and lie
Like a magnet to a flame
Like a mirror in the dark
And we're off to a bad start again
This is what the summer became
Only strangers walking down from the beach
Where did we bury the time?
Stab me in the front, tell me that I'm jinxed
Fun assassin, take off your disguise
Look me in the eye and lie
Waiting for a bus from this place
And when I get there, I'll just fold up my map
Drop it and never look back
Suck out all the air, polish up the cage
Fun assassin, treat me like I'm stone
Push me to the back and moan
Smash out all the lights, kicking out my chair
Fun assassin, take off your disguise
Look me in the eye and lie
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I think the song is about two friends, or possibly two people in a relationship, who are slowly drifting apart ("This is what the summer became/Only strangers walking down from the beach" ; "Waiting for a bus from this place/And when I get there, I'll just fold up my map/Drop it and never look back") because one of them is basically just being a killjoy/downer/buzzkill. as the song goes on they get more and more hostile towards each other ("treat me like I'm stone/Push me to the back and moan" ; "pulling out my hair/Smash out all the lights, kicking out my chair"). at the end i would interpret it as the one who isnt a buzzkill trying to make up/apologize but it doesnt go well ("Fun assassin, take off your disguise/Look me in the eye and lie").
