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.
