Assassin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Theories, I know you got your theories
I know you got this feeling
Everyone's out to get you (To get you)
Faceless, enemies always faceless
Somehow, you're always blameless
But that don't make you bulletproof (Bulletproof)
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear whispers when we're just talkin'
See pointin' fingers
When we touch, yeah, when we touch
You hear footsteps when no one's comin'
But you keep runnin', there's no use runnin'
[Chorus]
You know you're your own assassin
You don't need no help with that
It's your back that you've been stabbin'
When you gonna understand?
You know you're your own assassin
You don't need no help with that
You know you're your own assassin
You know you're your own assassin
[Verse 2]
When did, when did you start pretendin'?
You don't know why it ended
You think the fault is all mine (Is all mine)
Mirror, you never checked the mirror
Or you woulda seen the killer
Starin' right back with your eyes (With your eyes)
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear whispers when we're just talkin'
See pointin' fingers
When we touch, yeah, when we touch
You hear footsteps when no one's comin'
But you keep runnin' there's no use runnin'
[Chorus]
You know you're your own assassin
You don't need no help with that
It's your back that you've been stabbin'
When you gonna understand?
You know you're your own assassin
You don't need no help with that
You know you're your own assassin
You know you're your own assassin
[Post-Chorus]
You know you're your own assassin (Assassin, assassin, assassin)
You know you're your own assassin (Assassin, assassin)
You know you're your own assassin (Assassin, assassin, assassin)
You know you're your own assassin
You know you're your own assassin
[Bridge]
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
[Chorus]
You know you're your own assassin
You don't need no help with that
It's your back that you been stabbin'
When you gonna understand?
You know you're your own assassin
You don't need no help with that
You know you're your own assassin
You know you're your own assassin

What did Au/Ra say about "Assassin"?
Au/Ra stated in an e-newsletter:
Writing “Assassin” was a self realization. I originally wrote it about someone else, until I realized that it was something I do all the time as well. We all have those moments where we let our dark side take over, where we self-sabotage. It’s so human. So! Not to g...
What have the artists said about the song?
“Assassin”, in my mind, is about self-destruction. I have moments where I freak out and think I make the wrong decision, kill an opportunity, or let anxiety control me, and I want people to know that it’s normal to feel that way sometimes – whether you’re growing up or adulting. The feeling of knowi...
What have the artists said about the song?
“Assassin” is definitely about self-sabotage – and I first wrote it about someone I know before realising I totally do the same thing all the time. Haha it’s human I guess?
