After a sweet “hi”, there’s always a bitter “bye”
After every crazy high, there’s a price you have to pay
There’s no answer to this test I’ll always fall for it yes
I’m a slave to my emotions
Screw this heartless love
Here I come kick in the door
Give me the strongest one
So obvious, that love
Give me more, give me some more
Cling onto the edge of the cliff if you want
With just one word you’re like starstruck again
That warm nervous feeling, extreme excitement
Felt like heaven but you might not get in it
Look at me, look at you, who will be in more pain?
You smart like who? You are
If you cry tears of blood from both eyes
So sorry like who? You are
What should I do, I can’t stand myself being so weak
While I force myself to cover my eyes
I need to bring an end to this love
Let’s kill this love!

But you plus me
Sadly can be dangerous
Lucky me, lucky you
After all, in the end we lie
So what? So what?
If I end up forgetting you
So sorry
I’m not sorry
What should I do? I can’t stand myself being so weak
While I force myself to hide my tears

Unpacking the Message Behind “Kill This Love”
“Kill This Love” by BLACKPINK is an explosive anthem that dives deeply into the complexities of toxic love. The lyrics portray a fierce internal struggle, where the members confront the pain and self-destruction of holding on to a relationship that is ultimately damaging. The song uses powerful imagery—such as the juxtaposition of angelic greetings and demonic farewells, or the thrill of love followed by inevitable heartbreak—to highlight the highs and lows of passionate romance. There’s a sense of empowerment in recognizing that walking away, though painful, is sometimes necessary for self-preservation.
Facing the End With Strength
The recurring phrase “Let’s kill this love” becomes a rallying cry to break free from the cycle of emotional turmoil. Rather than glorifying heartbreak, BLACKPINK’s delivery suggests courage in letting go, even when vulnerability and regret are involved. The group’s bold performance and confident vocals emphasize the message: sometimes, ending a love that hurts is the bravest thing you can do.
