In for the Kill Lyrics
We can fight our desires
Ouuhh but when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Ouuhh whether we like it or not
They say we can love who we trust
Ouuhh but what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions
Ouuhh and what are feelings without emotions?
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll undertstand
And not let go of my hand
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll undertstand
And not let go of my hand
I hang my hopes out on the line
Ouuhh will they be ready for you in time?
If you leave them out too long
Ouuhh they'll be withered by the sun
Full stops and exclamation marks
Ouuhh my words stumble before I start
How far can you send emotions?
Ouuhh can this bridge cross the ocean?
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll undertstand
And not let go of my hand
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll undertstand
And not let go of my hand
Let's go to war to make peace
Let's be cold to create heat
I hope in darkness we can see
And you're not blinded by the light from me
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll undertstand
And not let go of my hand
Meaning of In for the Kill
“In for the Kill” explores a dangerous and captivating dance between desire and control, fueled by intense emotions. La Roux presents a paradox – a yearning to “go in for the kill,” driven by a thrilling pursuit, yet desperately hoping for understanding and connection. The lyrics depict a volatile relationship where logic clashes with primal urges; they attempt to create warmth through coldness, and seek peace through conflict, acknowledging that love is intertwined with raw lust and potent feelings. The repeated refrain emphasizes this risky gamble – hanging “hopes out on the line” and fearing abandonment, symbolized by withered hearts left exposed to the sun. Ultimately, the song captures a captivating tension: a simultaneous desire for intimacy and a fear of vulnerability, suggesting a willingness to embrace chaos in the pursuit of an undeniable, perhaps destructive, connection.
