Kill the Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We have a fight
Yet there might be a slight
Chance that it won't continue
Or not
I was there, I really was
Or was it just a blow and I,
Oh I don't think I care about
Myself any more
So was it all the same
What I have done
What I have said
You will spread your wings
And you will hide
And I am left behind
The shade, myself and I
It is the only part of me
Who I am to you
The part I feel
I've had before
I've faced the invincible
Wait - the crush
Intended was weaker
Than the day before
Wait - are you the
End of the world
Like the day before
You're always right
It's your never-ending
Mission
I know my part:
To be under your
Submission
Oh no! I know...
Well, it has become
The time to say my mind
I do have my own thoughts
You know, I really do but
I guess I should
Have known better
Oh well, me and I
That before the calm there
Is a chance of storm
From that icy world of yours
Come descend among
Us mortals
(I believe) I'm in affair with
The devil
She is cruel, malicious
Yet beautiful
The fight is almost over now
Guess who is winning
Here is a clue:
Satan seldom admits
She is wrong
Why are we in your hell
We could use mine as well
Some day you know I might
Even try to disappear
The song 'Avalanche' by Kill the Romance seems to be about a toxic relationship between two people. The opening lines, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a fight. Yet there might be a slight chance that it won't continue, or not," set the mood for the whole song. The singer of the song seems to be in a constant fight with their partner, and they might either want to end it or continue, unsure of what to do. They then mention losing their mind, indicating the mental struggle they face in the relationship. They are not sure if their actions and words mattered anymore.
The pre-chorus of the song speaks about the singer being left behind, with only the shadows of their partner as a reminder of what they have lost. The chorus possibly refers to the partner being controlling and always being right, making the singer submit to them. The second verse speaks about them wanting to express their thoughts and opinions but being aware that it might not be the right thing to do.
The bridge of the song takes a dark turn, with the singer referring to their partner as the devil, "I believe I'm in affair with the devil. She is cruel, malicious yet beautiful." They mention being in hell and wanting to disappear someday. The song ends with the fight coming to an end, and the partner winning, with the devil seldom admitting she is wrong.
Line by Line Meaning
Ladies and gentlemen
We have a fight
Yet there might be a slight
Chance that it won't continue
Or not
There's a conflict between us that might end or escalate, but who knows
I was there, I really was
Or was it just a blow and I,
I am insane
Oh I don't think I care about
Myself any more
So was it all the same
What I have done
What I have said
I was present in our fight, but I don't even know if it was real or just in my head. I don't even care what I did or said anymore.
You will spread your wings
And you will hide
And I am left behind
The shade, myself and I
It is the only part of me
Who I am to you
The part I feel
I've had before
You will move on and leave me behind, while I'm stuck here with my thoughts. The only part of me that's important to you is one that's familiar and nothing new.
I've faced the invincible
Wait - the crush
Intended was weaker
Than the day before
Wait - are you the
End of the world
Like the day before
I thought I could take on the impossible, but it turns out I can't. I thought I was strong, but now I realize that you're the one who has the power to destroy everything, just like you did before.
You're always right
It's your never-ending
Mission
I know my part:
To be under your
Submission
Oh no! I know...
You believe you're correct all the time, and it's your ultimate goal to prove me wrong. I understand that I need to be under your control, but I don't want to anymore.
Well, it has become
The time to say my mind
I do have my own thoughts
You know, I really do but
I guess I should
Have known better
Oh well, me and I
That before the calm there
Is a chance of storm
It's finally my moment to speak up and express my opinions. I have my own ideas, but I should've known better than to share them with you. But regardless, I always seem to be on the verge of another troubling situation.
From that icy world of yours
Come descend among
Us mortals
(I believe) I'm in affair with
The devil
She is cruel, malicious
Yet beautiful
You come from a place that's cold and cold-hearted, but you're among us regular people. I feel like I'm in a relationship with evil, someone who's both terrible and immensely gorgeous.
The fight is almost over now
Guess who is winning
Here is a clue:
Satan seldom admits
She is wrong
The conflict is nearing an end, and it seems like you're winning. Here's a hint: the devil never admits to being incorrect.
Why are we in your hell
We could use mine as well
Some day you know I might
Even try to disappear
Why do I have to be in your tormenting world when I could have my problems instead? One day, I might even try to run and escape.
