In 2000, Sia signed to Sony Music's sub-label Dance Pool and released her second studio album, Healing Is Difficult, the following year. Displeased with the promotion of the record, she signed to Go! Beat and released her third studio album, Colour the Small One, in 2004. The project struggled to connect with a mainstream audience, and so Sia relocated to New York City in 2005 and began touring across the United States. She released her fourth and fifth studio releases, Some People Have Real Problems and We Are Born, in 2008 and 2010, respectively. She then took a hiatus from performing, during which she focused on songwriting for other artists. Her catalogue includes the successful collaborations "Titanium" (with David Guetta), "Diamonds" (with Rihanna) and "Wild Ones" (with Flo Rida).
In 2014, Sia released her sixth studio album 1000 Forms of Fear, which debuted at No 1 in the U.S. Billboard 200 and generated the top-ten breakthrough single "Chandelier" and a trilogy of music videos starring child dancer Maddie Ziegler. In 2016, she released her seventh studio album This Is Acting, which spawned her first Hot 100 number one single, "Cheap Thrills". The same year, Sia gave her Nostalgic for the Present Tour, which incorporated performance art elements. Sia has received an array of accolades, including ARIA Awards and an MTV Video Music Award.
Kill And Run
Sia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coming out of your mouth
But the snore is too loud
Follow the hands as they move
Try to make out your move
But my brain doesn't want to
Silent call for you
What have I done to you
Kill and run, kill and run
I'm one of the dirty guns
Kill and run, kill and run
A bullet through your heart
Interpret the eyes as they die
Should i cry should I love
Your poor lashes blow
Victim of sensory love
You cry over my
An innocent call
Silent call for you
What have I done to you
Kill and run, kill and run
I'm one of the dirty guns
Kill and run, kill and run
A bullet through your heart
Kill and run, kill and run
I'm one of the dirty guns
Kill and run, kill and run
A bullet through your heart
"Kill and Run" by Sia is a song that portrays the helpless nature of a relationship that's gone wrong. From the lyrics, it is clear that the singer is reflecting on the sequence of words coming out of their partner's mouth, but the snore is too loud, indicating a lack of interest in what's being said. At the same time, the singer watches the partner's hands moving, trying to make sense of their actions, but the brain does not want to comprehend.
The call for the partner's attention is silent, and the singer is left wondering what they did to deserve such treatment. This feeling of confusion, betrayal, and hopelessness is the theme of the song, as illustrated in the chorus, "Kill and run, kill and run, I'm one of the dirty guns, kill and run, kill and run, a bullet through your heart."
The lyrics also touch on the emotional turmoil that comes with the end of the relationship, as both parties try to figure out what went wrong. Should the singer cry or love their partner now that the relationship has ended? The mention of "Victim of sensory love" suggests that despite the pain, the connection between them was strong.
Overall, "Kill and Run" is a well-crafted song that highlights the emotions that come with a complicated relationship and a breakup. It's a reminder that sometimes we don't always have the answers we seek in life, and this realization can be painful.
Line by Line Meaning
Watching the sequence of sounds
I am observing your speech and trying to understand it
Coming out of your mouth
The words are being spoken by you
But the snore is too loud
Your snoring is too loud and distracting
Follow the hands as they move
I am watching your hands and their movements
Try to make out your move
I am attempting to deduce your intentions from your actions
But my brain doesn't want to
However, my mind does not want to process this information
Silent call for you
I am silently reaching out to you
What have I done to you
What happened between us to cause this disconnect?
Kill and run, kill and run
Attack and flee, attack and flee
I'm one of the dirty guns
I am one of the instruments of harm
A bullet through your heart
I am causing you great pain
Interpret the eyes as they die
As you die, I am analyzing your eyes
Should i cry should I love
I am wrestling with my emotions
Your poor lashes blow
Your eyelashes flutter weakly
Victim of sensory love
You are a victim of love that is purely physical
You cry over my
You grieve for me
An innocent call
A cry for help that is ignored
Kill and run, kill and run
Attack and flee, attack and flee
I'm one of the dirty guns
I am one of the instruments of harm
A bullet through your heart
I am causing you great pain
Kill and run, kill and run
Attack and flee, attack and flee
I'm one of the dirty guns
I am one of the instruments of harm
A bullet through your heart
I am causing you great pain

All smiles, I know what it takes to fool this town
I'll do it 'til the sun goes down and all through the nighttime
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'll tell you what you wanna hear
Keep my sunglasses on while I shed a tear
It's never the right time, yeah, yeah
I put my armor on, show you how strong I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
And, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Break down, only alone I will cry out loud
You'll never see what's hiding out
Hiding out deep down, yeah, yeah
I know, I've heard that to let your feelings show
Is the only way to make friendships grow
But I'm too afraid now, yeah, yeah
I put my armor on, show you how strong I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
And, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
I put my armor on, show you how strong I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
