The Knife
Kyla La Grange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the cold bright fear that stroke me dead
And your body lay heavy in our bed
With those blood stained tears on your chest
Our love is never what it was
Never bold enough to carry us,
In the beginning I wanted you so much
Fire then dirt, then dust
So love, would you save her
Is she everything you bet upon your life?
So love, did you need her
Is it all because you fell against the knife
And now, can you hold her
Do you see her in the shadow of the knife
So love, have you lost her,
Does it turn you up inside?
One day, I'll sleep and never wake
And they outtake the color from my face
This is all a pay for my mistakes,
Old things wither then drink
So love, would you save her
Is she everything you bet upon your life?
So love, did you need her
Is it all because you fell against the knife
And now, can you hold her
Do you see her in the shadow of the knife
So love, have you lost her,
Does it turn you up inside?
Will I hold your hand tonight
And how I'd hold your hand tonight
Did you work so hard to keep her
Did you try so hard despite?
Was it her cold heart that freed her?
Come on home, song, tight
So love, would you save her
Is she everything you bet upon your life?
So love, did you need her
Is it all because you fell against the knife?
And now, can you hold her
Do you see her in the shadow of the knife
So love, have you lost her,
Does it turn you up inside?
Does it turn you up inside?
In Kyla La Grange's song "The Knife," the lyrics explore the complex and tumultuous nature of a romantic relationship that has gone awry. The verses describe the singer's partner, who has caused her great pain and fear, and who she no longer feels a deep connection with. The chorus repeatedly asks the question "So love, would you save her?" which seems to be directed at the partner, and suggests that the singer is trying to understand the reasons behind the pain they have caused her.
The image of the "knife" is a recurring theme throughout the song, and seems to symbolize the emotional damage that has been done to the relationship. The singer asks if the partner fell "against the knife," implying that they may have deliberately hurt her. Later, she wonders if they can see her in the "shadow of the knife," suggesting that the scars from their relationship are still present.
The final verse is particularly bleak, with the singer contemplating her own mortality and suggesting that her pain is a result of her own mistakes. The chorus repeats one last time, with the singer seemingly resigned to the fact that the relationship is over, but still searching for answers.
Overall, "The Knife" is a powerful and emotive song that delves deep into the complexities of love and loss. It paints a vivid picture of a relationship that has been damaged beyond repair, and asks important questions about the nature of romantic love and what it truly means to "save" someone.
Line by Line Meaning
One night you got into my head
One night you occupied my thoughts and emotions
With the cold bright fear that stroke me dead
With an overwhelming fear that paralyzed me
And your body lay heavy in our bed
And your physical presence weighed heavily on me
With those blood stained tears on your chest
With evidence of your emotional pain on display
Our love is never what it was
Our relationship has changed from its initial state
Never bold enough to carry us
Insufficiently strong to sustain our connection
In the beginning I wanted you so much
At first I was deeply infatuated with you
Fire then dirt, then dust
Our passion has dwindled over time and now our connection is gone
So love, would you save her
Asking the subject of the song if they would rescue someone
Is she everything you bet upon your life?
Is that person essential to your existence?
So love, did you need her
Asking if that person was necessary
Is it all because you fell against the knife
Did that person harm or betray you causing you pain?
And now, can you hold her
Can you still maintain physical contact with that person?
Do you see her in the shadow of the knife
Do you still bear the scars of that person's actions?
So love, have you lost her
Have you been separated from that person?
Does it turn you up inside?
Does it cause you emotional turmoil?
One day, I'll sleep and never wake
Someday I will die
And they outtake the color from my face
The process of dying will drain the life from my face
This is all a pay for my mistakes
This is all a punishment for my wrongdoings
Old things wither then drink
As things age, they begin to fade or die
Will I hold your hand tonight
Will I physically touch you tonight?
And how I'd hold your hand tonight
Reflecting on how they used to physically connect with that person
Did you work so hard to keep her
Did you exert great effort to keep that person in your life?
Did you try so hard despite?
Did you try your best despite great challenges or obstacles?
Was it her cold heart that freed her?
Was it that person's lack of emotional attachment that allowed them to leave?
Come on home, song, tight
A plea to music to bring them close to that person one last time
Does it turn you up inside?
Does it cause you emotional turmoil?

@Hot Process Truth. Could just be her choice. Marketing and all that, she may just make herself comfortable and avoid the fame.

I saw her last week at Somerset House where she opened up for Bastille and I can honestly say that she sounds much better live and her voice is incredible. This song especially sounded a lot more impressive live.
Luis Viloria

I love that this song is called The Knife because the style of the music actually is very reminiscent of the electro band The Knife.
