In 2003, Grey moved to Los Angeles and recorded a demo under the alias Holly Brook, which would be her stage name for several years. In 2004 she signed a publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Group and a recording contract with American rock band Linkin Park’s Warner Bros. Records’ label imprint, Machine Shop Recordings. She would later release her debut album, Like Blood Like Honey, under the labels in 2006.

Kill For You
Skylar Grey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even if that shit ain't true
You gon' make me commit murder
Baby, I'd kill for you
In my eyes
Even if you are wrong, you are right
Even if there is a terrible crime
I belong to the church of your name
Sing a song, 'cause I worship the ground you walk on
If I pray for you, I know you'll be there
You gon' make me a believer
Even if that shit ain't true
You gon' make me commit murder
Baby, I'd kill for you
In my bed I believe every word that you've said
Just a kiss and you make me forget
All the bad, the battles we lost, the bodies we hid
You don't know, just how far I'd be willing to go
You put the cracks into my moral code
So you can count on me to always be there
You could make me a believer
Even if that shit ain't true
You gon' make me commit murder
Baby, I'd kill for you
Oh, Lord, forgive my weary hands
And for what they may do
I'll carry out his evil plans
If he wants me to
In your dream, you're drowning, I just waltzed in and saved you
I'm your alternate escape route, the altar you pray to
Your ultimate savior, your behavior is altered
Ain't your fault 'cause I made you
Brainwashed and persuade you
Gibraltar, you're faithful, never falter or waver
When you causing the danger I'm your guardian angel
Nobody can tell you shit, you've already made your
Mind just follow me, babe, you
Won't be sorry you stayed, you
Always ride, whatever the plan is
To the end, even if I led us into an ambush
Even if we robbed the First National and cops caught us redhanded
They're coming at us, and we're trapped, put our backs up
Against the wall, and it's too tall
You catapult me or hold the ladder for me
Stay back to get captured, take the fall
You make it all worth it
Baby doll, you're perfect the way you are
Accidents happen
All I know is you love me, that's really all that matters
And any who cross our paths are just collateral damage
At your side, got your lateral, back, your front, diagonal Backwards, blackbirds, we attack like animals
When they threaten what we have it's a natural reaction
You lay a bitch flat on her back in a second flat for me
Who tries to take your man from you
It's blasphemy, another casualty, you'll go whatever route
Whatever you have to do, you blast for me
I never doubt
That you
You could make me a believer
Even if that shit ain't true
You gon' make me commit murder
Baby, I'd kill for you
The lyrics to Skylar Grey's song Kill For You speaks to the depth of love and loyalty that the singer has for the person she is singing to. She opens with the statement, "You could make me a believer, even if that shit ain't true." This line represents the extent to which she trusts and believes in the person she is singing to, regardless of the fact that what they are saying may not be completely truthful. She goes on to claim that she would do anything for this person, even commit murder, as she sings, "You gon' make me commit murder, baby, I'd kill for you."
The singer pledges her unwavering support and loyalty to the person she is singing to, stating, "In my eyes even if you are wrong, you are right... It's alright 'cause I got your back, and I know you got mine." She is willing to overlook any wrongs or transgressions that the person may have committed in the past because of the depth of their relationship. She also acknowledges that she belongs to the "church" of this person's name and worships the ground they walk on.
The final verse speaks to the idea that the person she is singing to has the ability to manipulate and control her to the point where she would do anything they ask, regardless of how wrong or immoral it may be. Despite this, she still feels a great sense of love and loyalty towards them and is willing to protect and defend them at any cost.
Overall, this song showcases the dangerous power dynamics that can exist within a toxic and abusive relationship, where one person is willing to do anything for the other, even if it means committing terrible acts of violence.

Every song that is performed by Eminem and Skylar is dope.
The both of them are individually great,but when they perform a song together,they are the perfect combination. :) :)
"Kill for you" is one of their best collaborations.
Listen to the whole song because the whole song is great. :) :)
