In For The Kill
Skrillex and La Roux Lyrics

We can fight our desires, ooh
People have the ability to resist what they want, but acting on those desires will lead to a passionate reaction.

But when we start making fires
However, once we give into those desires and start causing trouble, our passion will intensify greatly.

We get ever so hot, ooh
The more we indulge in our passions, the more intense we become.

Whether we like it or not
This is a natural part of who we are, and it can't be helped.

They say we can love who we trust, ooh
Some people might believe that true love is only possible with someone they trust deeply.

But what is love without lust?
However, what is love without the passionate desire that usually accompanies it?

Two hearts with accurate devotions, ooh
Two people who love each other deeply and share similar passions.

What are feelings without emotions?
But even love without the passion and emotion that comes with it isn't really love at all.

I'm going in for the kill
I'm about to take a big risk, hoping it will lead to a big reward.

I'm doing it for a thrill
I'm motivated by the excitement and passion this risk represents.

Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
I hope you can see things from my perspective and be open-minded to what I'm attempting to do.

And not let go of my hand
I need your support and encouragement to see this through.

I hang my hopes out on the line, ooh
I'm taking a great risk by putting all my hopes and dreams on the line for this.

Well, they'd be ready for you in time
If everything goes well, these hopes will be there for you too in the future.

If you leave them out too long, ooh
However, if we wait too long, they may fade away and be lost forever.

They'll be withered by the sun
Just like plants left out in the sun too long, our hopes and dreams can be destroyed by the harsh realities of life.

Full stops and exclamation marks, ooh
My words can't even begin to express the passion and intensity of my thoughts and feelings.

My words stumble before I start
I can't even articulate what I truly want to say - that's how emotional I am.

How far can you send emotions? Ooh
I wonder how far love and passion can actually take us, how much we can truly express to one another.

Can this bridge cross the ocean?
I'm not even sure if we can communicate our emotions across such a vast distance.

Let's go to war to make peace
Sometimes we have to make sacrifices and take risks in order to create a better world.

Let's be cold to create heat
We have to be willing to risk getting hurt in order to achieve our passions and dreams.

I hope in darkness we can see
Even in the darkest times, there is always hope and a way forward.

And you're not blinded by the light from me
I hope that my passion and intensity won't blind you to who I truly am and what I want.
