Kill Em with Kindness
Selena Gomez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The world can be a nasty place
You know it, I know it, yeah
We don't have to fall from grace
Put down the weapons you fight with

And kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em, kill 'em, kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead now

We're running out of time
Chasing our lies
Everyday a small piece of you dies
Always somebody
You're willing to fight, to be right

Your lies are bullets
Your mouth's a gun
And no war in anger
Was ever won
Put out the fire before igniting
Next time you're fighting

Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em, kill 'em, kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead now

Go ahead, go ahead now
Go ahead, go ahead now

Your lies are bullets
Your mouth's a gun
And no war in anger
Was ever won
Put out the fire before igniting
Next time you're fighting

Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em, kill 'em, kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead now

Go ahead, go ahead now




Go ahead, go ahead now
Go ahead, go ahead now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Selena Gomez's "Kill Em with Kindness" is about responding to negativity and hate with kindness instead of more hate. The opening lines of the song, "The world can be a nasty place, You know it, I know it," suggests that everyone is aware that the world is not always kind and that it can be challenging to maintain a positive attitude. However, the song encourages individuals to rise above the negativity by putting down the weapons they fight with and responding with kindness.


Throughout the song, Selena argues that people's words can be damaging and can feel like bullets, and suggests that it is more productive to end the cycle of anger by choosing to respond kindly. The chorus repeats the phrase "Kill 'em with kindness" several times to emphasize that being kind is the answer to ending any cycle of negativity.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of wasting time on fighting and chasing lies, which is a futile effort. The line "Every day, a small piece of you dies" suggests that holding onto anger and hate is not beneficial to one's emotional well-being, while the line "Always somebody/ You're willing to fight, to be right" suggests that the desire to be right can sometimes be harmful.


Overall, the song encourages listeners to break the cycle of negativity, respond to hate with kindness, and prioritize their emotional well-being.
