Kill Your Darlings
Love's Descent: A Tale of Betrayal and Retribution
Lyrics
When I met you I couldn't look away
Initial attraction and captivation upon meeting
And as you left I wished that you would stay
Desire for the person to stay despite their departure
The stars aligned, we spent a lot of time
Shared moments and a sense of cosmic alignment
Moving in with you, I heard the church bells chime
Commitment signaled by moving in together, perhaps marriage ("heard the church bells chime")
But the pedestal I put you on would soon begin to fall
Realization of flaws in the idealized image of the person
And now I just can't stand your face at all
Growing contempt and inability to tolerate the person
I have to stop myself from running away
A struggle to resist the impulse to escape the situation
(Stop from running away)
Reinforcing the effort to resist running away
'Cause mama didn't raise a little bitch
Assertion of determination and resilience
(No mama didn't raise no bitch)
Reinforcement of not being weak or submissive
Daddy said to always kill your darlings
Advice from the father figure to eliminate things held dear or cherished
(Darlings)
Repetition of the advice to eliminate beloved things
So there's a chance you'll end up in a ditch
A forewarning that the person might meet a tragic end
Livin' with you is gonna make my life a nightmare
Living with the person is anticipated to become a torment
I only wish for you to disappear
Wishing for the person's disappearance or absence
There's a thousand ways that I could end you
Imagining various ways of ending the person's existence
How ever you go I wouldn't shed a tear
Indifference to the person's fate, indicating no emotional attachment
I have to stop myself from running away
A repetition of the struggle to resist leaving the situation
(Stop from running away)
Continued effort to prevent escape
'Cause mama didn't raise a little bitch
Assertion of strength inherited from upbringing
(No mama didn't raise no bitch)
Reiteration of not being weak or submissive
Daddy said to always kill your darlings
Repetition of the advice to eliminate beloved things
(Darling)
Repetition of the advice to eliminate cherished things
So there's a chance you'll end up in a ditch
Reiteration of the forewarning about a potential tragic end
I hate your laughter and I hate your snores
Strong dislike for the person's characteristics (laughter, snores, lying)
I hate that you even dare to lie
Intense dislike for the person's behavior and actions
Oh fuck off with your patronising ways
Frustration with the person's condescending behavior
How ever you go, I don't care I'll never lie
Commitment to truthfulness despite the situation
I have to stop myself from running away
Continued struggle to resist leaving the situation
(Stop from running away)
Continued effort to prevent escape
'Cause mama didn't raise a little bitch
Assertion of strength inherited from upbringing
(No mama didn't raise no bitch)
Reiteration of not being weak or submissive
Daddy said to always kill your darlings
Repetition of the advice to eliminate beloved things
(Darling)
Repetition of the advice to eliminate cherished things
So there's a chance you'll end up in a ditch
Reiteration of the forewarning about a potential tragic end
I have to stop myself from running away
Continued struggle to resist leaving the situation
(Stop from running away)
Continued effort to prevent escape
'Cause mama didn't raise a little bitch
Assertion of strength inherited from upbringing
(No mama didn't raise no bitch)
Reiteration of not being weak or submissive
Daddy said to always kill your darlings
Repetition of the advice to eliminate beloved things
(Darling)
Repetition of the advice to eliminate cherished things
So there's a chance you'll end up in a ditch
Reiteration of the forewarning about a potential tragic end
Oh, I have to live life on the run now
Feeling compelled to live in constant evasion or escape
I hope your mama didn't raise a snitch
Hoping the person doesn't betray or disclose information
I had to follow my old mans advice
Acting on parental advice, possibly resulting in a drastic outcome
And someone found your body in a ditch
A revelation of the outcome of following the advice, leading to the person's demise
I said someone found your body in a ditch
Confirmation of the tragic fate that befell the person
