Killswitch
Colette Carr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gave your heart but now I think you want it back
You are my ocean and the tide
It's a little wonder why
I'm drowning in your eyes
The powers out we lost it all
I fallen hard you pulled the rug and watched me fall
Now your dropping calls
Got my love I'll stand by
Why'd you hit the killswitch on my heart
Circuit break a love we had to start
Boy just flick the killswitch on my heart
Can you turn my lights back on
Turn my lights back on
Li-li-light ba-ba-back on
Li-li-light on on
You've blown a fuse
I see the smoke
Your love, my life
I think we've made a mess of both
Electricity is what we know
I chase the light that you just never show
Why'd you hit the killswitch on my heart
Circuit break a love we had to start
Boy just flick the killswitch on my heart
Can you turn my lights back on
Turn my lights back on
Li-li-light ba-ba-back on
Li-li-light on on
The lyrics to Colette Carr's song Killswitch describe a tumultuous relationship between two people who are in love, but struggling to make things work. The singer is "tangled up" and feeling suffocated by the relationship, while their partner seems to be struggling with their own feelings and confusion. The line "You gave your heart but now I think you want it back" suggests that their partner is pushing away, and the singer is left feeling abandoned and unsure.
The imagery of the ocean and the tide adds yet another layer of complexity to the song. The singer compares their partner to the sea, which is vast and unpredictable. The tide, which is affected by the moon's gravitational pull, represents the external forces that are beyond their control. This analogy highlights the idea that love, like the ocean, can be both beautiful and dangerous.
The chorus of the song addresses the frustration and hurt that the singer is feeling. They ask their partner why they "hit the killswitch on my heart" and "circuit break a love we had to start." The idea of a "killswitch" implies that their partner deliberately shut down the relationship, causing the singer to feel powerless and heartbroken. The final lines of the chorus - "Can you turn my lights back on / Turn my lights back on / Li-li-light ba-ba-back on / Li-li-light on on" - suggest that the singer is hopeful that their relationship can be repaired, but they need their partner to take action.
Overall, Colette Carr's lyrics in Killswitch offer a poignant and relatable portrayal of a relationship that is struggling to survive. The use of vivid imagery and metaphors adds depth and emotional resonance to the song.

I'm tangled up no strings attached
I am involved with you but without any commitment

It's a little wonder why
I am amazed by our connection

I look for your love, but you give me none in return
