The Gun and the Knife
Cibelle Lyrics

I have a gun and today you will die
The singer is armed and intends to kill the person addressed.

Because you are my true love, mi corazón
The singer is killing their true love.

I told you last night
The singer gave the intended victim warning.

I've carved your name in this bullet
The artist has personalized the means of death.

I carry for you
The artist has the means of death on their person.

I have a gun, oh my true love, will you fight me
The singer questions whether the victim will fight back.

And what will you do
The singer challenges the victim to react.

I swear it to the sun
The artist is making a solemn oath.

That I shall stand in fight
The artist will not run from the intended confrontation.

I am in my skeleton
The artist is stripped down to their basic self.

Steel in my knife
The singer's knife is sharp and deadly.

Those small explosions in my heart
The artist's emotions are intense and overwhelming.

Will roll me through
The singer is driven by their emotions.

I'll kill you
The singer repeats their intent to kill.

Kill you if you want me to
The singer will carry out the victim's wishes if they ask to be killed.

What will you do
The artist repeats their challenge to the victim to react.

I'll touch your face
The artist plans to get close to the victim.

And squeeze the trigger soft and slow
The singer plans to kill the victim with a gentle squeeze of the trigger.

I'll push the knife into your breast
The singer plans to stab the victim in the chest.

And your sweet blood will flow
The artist anticipates the victim's blood pouring out.

I'll fall in 'til the death
The artist is prepared to die in the confrontation.

You'll slowly close your eyes
The victim will die slowly.

Together we shall die
The singer accepts that they will die with the victim.

You've got steel in your bones
The victim is strong and formidable.

You've got fire in your heart
The victim has an intense passion.

Yeah I've got power over you
The singer believes they have control over the victim.

You've got wings on your back
The victim has freedom and mobility.

You've got the knowledge of the stars
The victim has cosmic insight.

And I've got power over you
The artist reiterates their belief in their control over the victim.

You've got fire in your bones
The victim's passion is still present.

You've got power over me
The singer acknowledges the victim's power over them.

I've got power over you
The artist reiterates their belief in their control over the victim.

Power over me (power over you)
There is a power dynamic between the artist and victim.

You've got power over me (power over you)
The artist recognizes the victim's power over them.

Power over me
The power dynamic between the singer and victim is reiterated.

I shall take this as a sacrifice
The artist is prepared to make a sacrifice.

I'll meet your ghost on the plane in the morning, we'll dance
The singer believes they will both be killed and are ready to dance with the victim in the afterlife.

I'll take your pale hands
The singer imagines holding the victim's cold, dead hands.

We'll dance, we'll dance
The singer is fixated on dancing in death with the victim.

The bones of your fingers will lie like a mist on the air
The victim's body will be decomposing, represented by their bones as mist.

The bones of my hands will sigh in the fog of your hair
The artist imagines their own body decomposing, with their bones as fog in the victim's hair.

We'll dance, we'll dance
The fixation on dancing in death with the victim is repeated.
