KILL KILL
Lana Del Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in the shower
Do you know I am going to leave you?
Do you know I am going to leave you?
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love, lying in the sand
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
Tell me about Ray and his girl
Do I know Ray is going to meet you?
Love you, I do; stay here, I won't
The stars fade from your eyes
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love, lying in the sand
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
1, 2, make it fun
Don't trust anyone
1, 2, make it fun
Don't trust anyone
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
1, 2, make it fun
Don't trust anyone
1, 2, make it fun
Don't trust anyone
The lyrics of Lana Del Rey's song "Kill Kill" tell a story of a woman who is in love with a dying man. The repetition of the line "I'm in love with a dying man" echoes the theme of the inevitable death of the man and the depth of the woman's feelings towards him. The line "I have done everything I can" suggests that the woman is aware that there is nothing she can do to save him, and is resigned to his fate. The references to Ray and his girl are unclear, but they could be an allusion to the man's prior relationships or the woman's jealousy towards them.
The first verse describes the woman's seclusion in the shower, perhaps expressing her attempt to cleanse herself of her feelings for the dying man. However, the repetition of the line "Do you know I am going to leave you?" at the end of the verse hints at a possible escape plan or a desire to distance herself from the man before his death. The chorus then follows with the repeated expression of the woman's love for the man, which transcends his impending mortality.
The final verse is slightly different from the previous ones in that it includes the lines "1, 2, make it fun/Don't trust anyone". This could be interpreted as the woman's advice to herself to find joy in the moment and not to rely on anyone else but herself. The repetition of the line "I have done everything I can" serves as a reminder that the woman has done all she could for the man she loves, and now she must find a way to move on.
