In for the Kill Lyrics
We can fight our desires,
But when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Whether we like it or not.
They say we can love who we trust
But what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions.
And what are feelings without emotions?
I'm going in for the kill.
I'm doing it for a thrill.
I'm hoping you'll understand,
And not let go of my hand.
I had my hopes out on the line,
Will they be ready for you in time.
If you leave them out too long,
They'll be withered by the sun.
Full stops and exclamation marks,
My words stumble before I start.
How far can you send emotions?
Can this bridge across the ocean?
I'm going in for the kill.
I'm doing it for a thrill.
I'm hoping you'll understand,
And not let go of my hand.
Let's go to war to make peace,
Let's be cool to create heat.
I hope in darkness we can see,
And you're not blinded by the light from me.
I'm going in for the kill.
I'm doing it for a thrill.
I'm hoping you'll understand,
And not let go of my hand.
But when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Whether we like it or not.
But what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions.
And what are feelings without emotions?
I'm doing it for a thrill.
I'm hoping you'll understand,
And not let go of my hand.
Will they be ready for you in time.
If you leave them out too long,
They'll be withered by the sun.
My words stumble before I start.
How far can you send emotions?
Can this bridge across the ocean?
I'm doing it for a thrill.
I'm hoping you'll understand,
And not let go of my hand.
Let's be cool to create heat.
I hope in darkness we can see,
And you're not blinded by the light from me.
I'm doing it for a thrill.
I'm hoping you'll understand,
And not let go of my hand.

"Jackson explained this '80s-derived song to Steve Harris of XFM radio: "It's about telling someone how you feel regardless of what you get back, and not waiting to find out if they want you or not." She added that when she wrote this, "I was quite in to someone in quite a deep and intense way and I went overseas (Paris) and told them I like them. It all fired back in my face but that's not the point you do it for yourself.""
in a interview she said this song was about going to paris after her partner had broken up with her. she didn't state whether it was male or female though which would suggest more likely female. she then said the going in for the kill part was her goign to paris to find the person who broke her heart and how she felt about doing it. Also in the interview she said it ended up not working out....but she got a really good song out of it in my opinion lol
totally cant stop singing this song!!! best lines:
They say we can love who we trust But what is love without lust? Two hearts with accurate devotions. And what are feelings without emotions?
BECAUSE ITS SOOO TRUE!!! :) this song came out at the right time because it like how i feel right now ;)
this is my coming out song. I'm sure that's not what she meant it as but the chorus just fits exactly! the Skream remix of this is just amazing. and this is from someone who does not actually like dubstep.
some of the lyrics are wrong here. "Two hours with accurate devotions" should be "two hearts.." and "Climb its way across the ocean" should be "Can this bridge cross the ocean?"
On XFM she said: "[The song is] about telling someone how you feel regardless of what you get back, and not waiting to find out if they want you or not."
anyone heard the skrillex remix of this song> fucking amazing
AMAZING SONG. just can't put my finger on what it's about though...
IDK, but when I first listened to the lyrics, I identified a lot with them because I'm in love with my best friend, but don't know how to tell him. We've been best friends for a long time and we have a really unconventional relationship and are practically a married couple. Just the way she is scared to tell him/her but has to get it off her chest.

This is like a perfect description...
This is like a perfect description of our relationship.
I had no idea what some of the lyrics were. But I thought they ought to be up for commenting, so i pasted over some of the cracks haha. I L.O.V.E this song. Her video is immensely sexy. I want that jacket. And hair.
This song is amazing and I agree tom_omg, the Skream remix is immense! I'm not entirely sure of the meaning, I need a while of thinking haha. But off the top of my head I'm getting that it may be about opening yourself up to someone and telling them the way you feel, even though you may not like the overall turnout, because you know it's something you have to do.
"I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand".
Seems to suggest that, not literally killing someone. But idk. :)
