Truly and Utterly Bill
David Carradine and Uma Thurman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it comes to you
And us
I have a few unanswered questions
So,
Before this tale of bloody revenge
Reaches its climax
I'm gonna ask you some questions
However,
it's not just about the truth
It's about why we do the things we do
Why we hurt each other
Why we seek revenge
Is it simply because of love and betrayal?
Or is there something deeper
A primal instinct
That drives us to seek out justice
Even if it means crossing lines
And becoming monsters ourselves?
The lyrics of "Truly and Utterly Bill" from the Kill Bill soundtrack are a reflection on the complex web of emotions and motivations that drive the characters in the film. The song is a conversation between the two main characters, Bill and The Bride, as they approach the final confrontation of the movie. The Bride has come back for revenge, but before she can strike the final blow, she needs answers about why Bill betrayed her and tried to kill her on her wedding day. The lyrics highlight the tension between honesty and self-preservation, as well as the moral ambiguity of seeking revenge.

Now
At present
When it comes to you
Concerning you
And us
And our relationship
I have a few unanswered questions
There are things I don't understand and I need clarification
So,
That being said,
Before this tale of bloody revenge
Prior to seeking revenge and taking action
Reaches its climax
Becomes its most intense point
I'm gonna ask you some questions
I am going to pose some inquiries to you
I need you to tell me the truth
I require you to be honest with me
However,
Nonetheless,
