Az új nagylemez képernyő-erőszak és horror tematikájához már címükben is illeszkedő Killer, Screaming és Bitter End című számok minőségi darabok, különösen a záródal erős, melyben az 1987-es születésű Lauren Mayberry énekesnő a Chvrches-tagként eltöltött eddigi egy évtizedére tekint vissza, azt elemezve, hogy 24, 25 és 29 évesen milyen párkapcsolatokban, milyen lelki és mentális állapotban volt.

I lost myself, my mental health
On a broken carousel
Spun down to hell
How far we fell?
Maybe just as well
The stones we throw, they told me so
That it was death by stereo
When they dealt the final blow
Nowhere to go

I turned into a killer, I’m insane
I’ll cry you a river down the drain
Are you entertained?

No one to call in my downfall
In the valley of the dolls
I was climbing up the walls
No light at all

I turned into a killer, I’m insane
I’ll cry you a river down thе drain
I turned into a killer, played thе game
Don’t look in the mirror, feel the pain
Are you entertained?

I turned into a killer, I’m insane
I’ll cry you a river down the drain
Are you entertained?

Am I the deer?
Am I the headlights?
I know that I can’t slow down
Everything fractures in the light
And I stand by watching it burn

And I used to laugh at the broken glass
I should probably paper over all the cracks
Took a photograph of the aftermath
I should probably look less fondly on the past

Silent screaming at the ceiling
Wondering when I lost heart
And time’s been stealing all my dreams
And I no longer look the part

And I used to laugh at the broken glass
I should probably paper over all the cracks
Took a photograph of the aftermath
I should probably look less fondly on the past

Am I the butcher?
Am I the knife if I don’t know what all this is for?
I used to read myself to death
But I don’t see the point anymore

Silent screaming at the ceiling
Wondering when I lost heart
And time’s been stealing all my dreams
And I no longer look the part

And you used to laugh at the broken glass
I should probably paper over all the cracks
Took a photograph of the aftermath
I should probably look less fondly on the past
On the past

Am I the deer?
Am I the headlights?
I know that I can’t slow down

At twenty-four
I found I fell into the trap door
Threw a man over board
As I swam for the shore
At twenty-five
I noticed red in my skies
Made a bed for his lies
In the whites of my eyes

I was naïve
It got harder to breathe
Still, I don’t let ’em see
That there’s blood on my knees
All that I want
Is to hear that one song
When the noises are gone
I’ll be singing along

Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
It nevеr really ends
Teach mе the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
Until the bitter end

At twenty-nine
I didn’t see all the signs
So I hung on the line
‘Till I lost my spine
I prayed to God
I could curb the black dog
Oh, the days are so long
With the oxygen gone

Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
It never really ends
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
Until the bitter end

Rapture, rapture
Ever after, in the bitter end

Guess what I learned
From every bridge that I burned
That your love should be earned
And the world will still turn
All that I want
Is to hear that one song
When the noises are gone
I’ll be singing along

Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
It never really ends
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
Until the bitter end

Rapture, rapture
Ever after, in the bitter end
Finding rapture, rapture
Ever after, in the bitter end
Finding rapture
Ever after
Finding rapture
I need a rapture
