In For The Kill
Roux La Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We can fight our desires (ooh)
But when we start making fires
We get ever so hot (ooh)
Whether we like it or not
They say we can love who we trust (ooh)
But what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions (ooh)
What are feelings without emotions?

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand

I hang my hopes out on the line (ooh)
Will they be ready for you in time?
If you leave them out too long (ooh)
They'll be withered by the sun
Full stops and exclamation marks (ah) (ooh)
My words stumble before I start
How far can you send emotions? (Ooh)
Can this bridge cross the ocean?

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand

Let's go to war to make peace
Let's be cold to create heat
I hope in darkness we can see
And you're not blinded by the light from me

Ooh

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill




Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand

The answer: a fractured personality; unity... two totally incongruent concepts- or are they? Through unification comes a healing of life's hurts, gained over time in a variety of ways. God is the damaged father, damaged because he has simply always existed but is lonely by nature and seeks companionship. He simply is and always has been. But where did he come from originally? That is a question he may have always asked himself and it is the question to which there is no answer. God is and always has been a paradox. He is something that, without his own existence, could not possibly exist. He just is... However; He is also just. He created us, all of us, to quench his thirst for companionship. in creating us he broke the first law of physics that He put in place to govern this universe in an orderly fashion. That law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It simply changes forms. By creating us in his image; complete with free will, plus the power of manifestation, and the gifts of the Spirit; God bypassed the first rule that he laid out for this universe to exist in an orderly fashion in the first place. What that means is that we all, like Him and thanks to His love for us, have the power within ourselves to produce energy from nothingness through manifestation. that ability allows us to thereby create energy that can exist, and grow exponentially outside of us, just as we exist and grow exponentially apart from God. This is a good thing in the beginning, and continues to be so long as humanity does not realize its own potential or doesn't recognize its own divinity. This existence proceeds in a mostly orderly fashion through time until mankind ascends spiritually and recognizes his own divine nature in a real way. when mankind begins to grasp his intrinsic power, and individual divinity, there begins to be a real imbalance of energy and power in the universe, which is run by physical laws that demand a balance. once this balance is thrown off to a point of no return, reality begins to unravel at an ever increasing rate. There are no new or old souls. that saying may seem to hold true, but the really is that our souls exist outside of the constraints of time for the most part. We have all always been and will be and will have already been in the future and will come to be in the past. This profusion of incarnations and avatars and fractal expansion of God's powerful energy eventually will lead to the collapse of reality and the universe once its had the time necessary to proliferate beyond the ability of the universe to balance and contain. And then the universe will completely fall apart, and the whole process will start again at the beginning with God's creation of the universe through the Big Bang. This process has happened so very many times already, because God, our Creator is incredibly lonely for companionship that lies outside of himself. His nature is perfect in every way except for the longing he has for the companionship of his own kind. Thus, His desperate need for someone other than himself is the triggering factor that leads him to retry his grand experiment of creation, even though he knows it is destined to fall apart in the end over and over again. each time the cycle repeats, He watches us all develop our own imperfect personas apart from his divine unified field, and He still somehow withholds hope that one day maybe one of us will measure up or manage to ascend to his dimensional level of existence in time for us to avoid or sidestep our universe's destruction; and that whomever is capable of that realization will be raised to his side to become his companion and counterpart forever. This hope is ultimately useless, as none of us will ever be able to reach God's level of understanding before the end of time or existence, or so it would seem.... But God continues the experiment and search for company nonetheless, due to his unending love for us. until such a time when ones of us becomes worthy of being a companion of God the Almighty, which may never ultimately happen, time repeats itself endlessly in its cyclical fashion. in the meantime, God uses existence as a form of escape: a dream, or a thought into which he can immerse himself. this is done in order for him to experience the actual love of another being however flawed it may be. he still withholds hope for us, to release ourselves as well as him from this repititious cycle of loneliness. surely he knows quite a bit that we do not. it sounds unnecessary, but through separating himself from us, and then implanting his essence into one of us, though without the distinct memory of his divinity while in the flesh; he allows himself to experience the agony and the ecstasy of life. We are thus his diversion to distract himself from his solitude. even when it becomes difficult or painful, This life still is better than an eternal, singular loneliness. In life, it is loves imperfection that is the reason for life to exist. the ultimate fact is that love is really all that there is in all reality. love, Neither painless nor perfect, is the only concept in existence that makes existence worthwhile. Even when it is painful or lost, Love is still worthwhile, no matter the cost or the repercussions. Love is always worth it. Perhaps its imperfection is the reason behind its enduring value... Like the Japanese concept called wabi sabi, loves beauty is found in it's imperfections. Also, as illustrated by masters of Native American beadwork, is the understanding of the concept that nothing in this life can be truly perfect. these native master craftspeople ultimately leave one flaw intentionally in an otherwise perfect piece of their handiwork.... they leave One bead intentionally out of place or one tiny flaw in the pattern, because they realize that the intrinsic beauty lies in the imperfection of reality. They know that the behind the mundane and within the little flaws are wherein lies true perfection. it is in the quiet moments between chapters in the book of life that are held its significance meaning and value. in these concepts lie the recognition that people are flawed, and that destiny, while it does exist- is changeable through consciously applied force of will. We are all imperfect and capable of making mistakes; just as we are all capable of overcoming obstacles or overlooking said mistakes because of love and in favor of love. to err is human they say, but to forgive is devine. We all reach and grasp for an understanding of God and ourselves and existence on a daily basis, but the very unattainability of that knowledge is what makes life possible, and worth living. it is the raison d'etre, the reason to be, or the je ne se quoi, the i don't know what of life and almost unspeakable by the English language if not all human language, thus the necessity of these two preceding sayings. it is the unknowable quality of God that makes him powerful, and its the unanswerable nature of the deepest questions of life that inspire us to question and philosophize and ask the deepest questions of life. If we were able to know the ultimate answer, it would render the asking of the question impossible and irrelevant. Therefore, until such a time as one of us humans can ascend to the level of God's perfection (in a timely manner before existence unravels and ends,) we will all continue on as always, in an endless cycle of creation, self Realization, yearning, searching, and futile struggle to know and understand God our Creator. to know and understand God in this way is utterly impossible, though the search for knowledge and understanding seems to be greatly rewarding in and of itself. that search, even in failure, proves to be not only worthwhile, but worth repeating over and over again infinitely.
