Love Is to Die Lyrics
Here I stand
Am I humble as I go
I’m holding in tight
To something long as I go
Am I humble as I go
I found a way
To look towards this day
But it all hooked up
This could only go one way
I’m not alive, I’m not alive enough
I’m not alive, I’m not alive enough
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
All on my own, it's confirmed
There's no words to compromise
...you really see nothing of this girl
They work, they don’t know the roots behind
‘Cause I got a knife to cut out the memories
So carefully, too carefully, it’s not necessarily
To be so dark
Got to give in, got to give in
Learn to align, last time older
Got to give in, got to give in
Learn to the five
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Love is to die, why did you not die, why don’t you dance
Why don’t you dance and dance
Am I humble as I go
I’m holding in tight
To something long as I go
Am I humble as I go
I found a way
To look towards this day
But it all hooked up
This could only go one way
I’m not alive, I’m not alive enough
I’m not alive, I’m not alive enough
Love is to dance
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
There's no words to compromise
...you really see nothing of this girl
They work, they don’t know the roots behind
‘Cause I got a knife to cut out the memories
So carefully, too carefully, it’s not necessarily
To be so dark
Got to give in, got to give in
Learn to align, last time older
Got to give in, got to give in
Learn to the five
Love is to dance
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Why don’t you dance and dance

This song is about the ups and downs of love, but in a very optimistic fashion. It's about the give and take, the compromises, the valleys, the highs.
The reason I think it's overall very optimistic is because of the last line "Love is to die, why did you not die", as if to say, "yes, that hurt, but we're okay, we didn't die and we love each other so...let's just dance."
The one line that bugs me that I have no clue about is "learn to the five"
@CovinS It's "Alert to the night," and then "Got to give in to the fight"
@CovinS It's "Alert to the night," and then "Got to give in to the fight"
"Learn to the five" is a direct relation to the five human senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Our eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin. I guess you guys can relate that to the overall song meaning yourselves.
These lyrics are so horribly wrong, it's ridiculous. Many lyric sites have the wrong ones, but here is a site that has the correct lyrics including " Got to give in, Got to give in, Alert to the night, The last time I alter my mind, I give in Got to give in To the fight" Hope that clear up the song a bit for all you people trying to figure out the "five" part which she doesn't sing. http://genius.com/Warpaint-love-is-to-die-lyrics

The link I posted earlier copied wrong, here is the correct one.. http://genius.com/Warpaint-love-is-to-die-lyrics and here are the correct lyrics:
All on my own Here I stand Am I humble am I ghost I'm on a limb to climb To something lawless I hope Am I humble am I ghost I'll find a way To look towards this day Got it all hooked up This could only go one way Oh oh oh oh oh I'm not alive I'm not alive enough
Love is to die Love is to not die Love is to dance Love is to dance and dance
All on my own It's confirmed There's no world to compromise You really see nothing of this girl They look, they don't know The roots behind Cuz I've got a knife To cut out the memories So carefully To carefully It's not necessary To be so dark
Got to give in Got to give in Alert to the night The last time I alter my mind I give in Got to give in To the fight
Love is to die Love is to not die Love is to dance Love is to dance and dance
Love is to die Love is to not die Love is to dance Love is to dance and dance
Love is to die Why don't you not die? Why don't you dance? Why don't you dance and dance?
@esteevius This website (songmeanings) adds an extra "http//" to the links.. I don't know why.. if you delete the second http//, the link works.

It's a total longshot, but the "learn to the five" could be a reference to the enneagram type five, which fits with Warpaint in some ways.

It should be noted that the lyrics at the end should be "Love is to die, why don't you not die, why don't you dance", as opposed to "why did you not die"
