In For The Kill
La Roux (ft. Kanye West) Lyrics

We can fight our desires
Our natural instincts and desires can be suppressed or opposed, but it's not always easy to control them.

But when we start making fires
When we allow ourselves to indulge in our desires, we can become consumed, passionate, and sometimes reckless.

We get ever so hot
Our passion and desires can intensify and become overwhelming as we pursue them.

Whether we like it or not
Even if we try to fight or ignore our desires, they may still persist and influence our actions.

They say we can love who we trust
Society suggests that love can only exist between people who trust each other completely.

But what is love without lust?
However, the physical aspect of attraction and desire, or lust, is also an important component of love.

Two hearts with accurate devotions
True love involves two people who are committed to each other and devoted to making the relationship work.

And what are feelings without emotions?
Without emotions, our feelings would be meaningless and empty, as emotions are what give them significance and depth.

I'm going in for the kill

I'm doing it for a thrill

And not let go of my hand
