In For The Kill
La Roux畯 Lyrics

We can fight our desires, ooh
We try to control our impulses and urges, but sometimes it's impossible.

But when we start making fires
Once we give into those desires, things start heating up.

We get ever so hot, ooh
Our passions and emotions start to run high.

Whether we like it or not
Even if we try to resist, the pull of desire is too strong.

They say we can love who we trust, ooh
People say we should only love those we trust.

But what is love without lust?
But is love really love without desire and passion?

Two hearts with accurate devotions, ooh
When two people love and trust each other completely,

What are feelings without emotions?
what is that love really worth without the added heat of desire and passion?

I'm going in for the kill
I'm taking a risk and going all in.

I'm doing it for a thrill
I'm doing it because the excitement and rush is worth it.

Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
I'm hoping that you'll see things from my perspective and not judge me.

And not let go of my hand
And that you'll stick with me through it all.

I hang my hopes out on the line, ooh
I put my trust and faith in someone else, leaving myself vulnerable.

Well, they'd be ready for you in time
I'm willing to wait for that person, believing that they'll come through.

If you leave them out too long, ooh
But if that person takes too long to deliver, I may end up disappointed.

They'll be withered by the sun
My hopes and trust will be destroyed by the passing of time or by damaging experiences.

Full stops and exclamation marks, ooh
My words are choppy and unsure, reflecting my own uncertainty and insecurity.

My words stumble before I start
I find it hard to articulate my thoughts and feelings clearly or confidently.

How far can you send emotions? Ooh
Can we truly communicate our deepest emotions, and convey our feelings accurately to others?

Can this bridge cross the ocean?
Is it possible to fully connect with someone, even if they are far away or very different from us?

Let's go to war to make peace
Sometimes it takes a major conflict or struggle to achieve greater harmony in the end.

Let's be cold to create heat
Acting unemotional or distant can often end up sparking more passion and excitement in a relationship.

I hope in darkness we can see
Even when things are difficult or uncertain, I hope we can find clarity and truth.

And you're not blinded by the light from me
And that my own strong feelings or desires won't cloud your judgement or understanding.
