In For The Kill
CDM Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But when we start making fires
We get ever so hot, ooh
Whether we like it or not
They say we can love who we trust, ooh
But what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions, ooh
What are feelings without emotions?
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
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 understand
And not let go of my hand
I hang my hopes out on the line, ooh
Well, they'd be ready for you in time
If you leave them out too long, ooh
They'll be withered by the sun
Full stops and exclamation marks, ooh
My words stumble before I start
How far can you send emotions? Ooh
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 understand
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 understand
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
Ooh
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
The lyrics of CDM Project's song "In For The Kill" explore the complex dynamics of love and desire. It suggests that although we may try to suppress our desires and fight against them, they can still ignite strong emotions within us. The metaphor of making fires symbolizes the passionate intensity that can arise despite our efforts to resist.
The song delves into the idea that love without lust is incomplete. It questions the significance of love when it lacks the intensity and attraction that comes with desire. The line "Two hearts with accurate devotions, ooh / What are feelings without emotions?" implies that devotion alone is not enough to sustain a meaningful connection. Emotions and desires play a crucial role in deepening the bond between individuals.
The singer expresses their determination to pursue their desires, even if it means taking risks. The lines "I'm going in for the kill / I'm doing it for a thrill" highlight their willingness to engage in actions that bring excitement and fulfillment. They hope that their partner will understand this drive and support them, not letting go of their hand.
The lyrics also touch upon the vulnerability and uncertainty that come with expressing emotions. The line "My words stumble before I start / How far can you send emotions?" illustrates the difficulty in communicating feelings. It suggests that the singer may struggle to articulate their emotions, unsure of how they will be received or reciprocated. The question of whether their emotions can bridge the distance between them is raised.
Ultimately, the song portrays a desire for deep connection and understanding. The plea for unity in the lines "Let's go to war to make peace / Let's be cold to create heat" suggests a willingness to confront challenges and embrace contrasts in order to achieve a harmonious relationship. The hope that darkness can bring clarity and that the other person won't be blinded by the singer's flaws suggests a longing for acceptance and a belief in the power of love.
