 Title: “Kill You With Kindness”
Record Label: Safe Haven Records
Length: 4:40
Genre(s): Alternative Rock
Writer(s): James Urie
Album: Liberty?"Kill You With Kindness" is a single by James Urie taken from James's fifth studio album "LIBERTY?". The record itself is the second release from the upcoming album, with the other being "Corpses" which was released on May 8th, 2017 and going on to reach the #2 spot on the charts. Proving that James Urie hasn't lost the interest of the general public as he gets ready to drop his new album. LIBERTY? has already began streaming and is slated for an August 13th release. Kill You With Kindness was most likely chosen as the next single as the song started picking up steam shortly after some album songs began streaming online.
"KYWK", follows the last track "From Within" and is one of the longer tracks on the album, and has a total length of four minutes and forty sec- onds. The record was written by none other than James Urie and features production from Alex Fitts. Kill You With Kindness is an alternative rock record of a slower tempo to the previous two tracks. The song is about using his kindness as a way to 'kill' or get back at an enemy who once, hurt or betray him. Throughout the record, although James admits to having a strong hatred for a particular catalyst, he doesn't want that person to seem like they've gotten the best of him, so he'll act as if he's unphased, thus using 'kindness' as a shield. The record is so personal, that it doesn't take long for a listener to probably start thinking of who the record could be about.
Over the years, James has mostly had issues with his own brother Matt Urie, his former members in the Walls, but most particularly his ex wife, Gemma. It's already known that James and his forer band mates are on good terms, so that only leaves one person in mind that this song could be about, but that's still very much so questionable. Still, James Urie tells a relatable story of being swayed into thinking an individual is one way before being turned on, and in turn, now there's much animosity.
Production wise, KYWK is an all around rock song, but obviously has some influences of other genre's that give the song a catchier vibe, but all in all, a very interesting sound. For one track seems to take hip-hop and alternative electronica and mix them seamlessly together,throwing in hints at a handful of other genres such as trip-hop and rock. K.Y.W.K is class rick in the use of loud guitar lines, but trip-hop in the drumbeat, and indie with the synthesizers. Vocally, James manages to sound creepy and entertaining all at once as he employs a variety of vocal styles throughout, ranging from low chanting to overarching with spontaneous sounding melodies. Listening to track three clearly gives you a 'badass' feel.
Lyrics; Your grip too intense,
Like the devil is behind me
Pulling my chain to go down, down, down, down
It’s a spiraling tornado, but you gotta remember
I was the foundation that lifted you when you were at your lowest
And now you've turned against me
How could you take me so high then bring me so low?
I guess that's what happens when you never learned how to love
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
A million little pieces is how I feel,
You got me tangled in knots,
My insides so twisted.
You make me want to hate you
And break you into two
I have to remind myself
To kill you with kindness
Cause that's all I got
I'll stare into those cold eyes of yours
And that very, very lonely heart
Sometimes my hatred will get the best of me
I’ll pinch myself to remind myself
To kill you with kindness
I want to break you into a thousand little pieces,
While I step to hear the crunch.
Feels almost like a true victory,
But my soul can't hurt others with such animosity
Where did things turn
From sweet to sour?
From bad to worse?
You stuck to me like glue
And you were hard to shake off.
The more I tried to push you,
The more you tried to control me.
Every time I went to break free
You couldn't help but cage me.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
A million little pieces is how I feel.
You got me tangled in knots,
my insides so twisted.
You make me want to hate you
and break you into two.
I have to remind myself
To kill you with kindness
Cause that's all I got
I'll stare into those cold eyes of yours
And that very, very lonely heart
Sometimes my hatred will get the best of me
I’ll pinch myself to remind myself
To kill you with kindness
Shattered and standing here
Looking at these millions to pay
My reflection in so many directions
Two ends of the spectrum
I'll interpret it how I want to
But baby, just remember
You'll never get the best of me
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
A million little pieces is how I feel.
You got me tangled in knots,
my insides so twisted.
You make me want to hate you
and break you into two.
I have to remind myself
To kill you with kindness
Cause that's all I got
I'll stare into those cold eyes of yours
And that very, very lonely heart
Sometimes my hatred will get the best of me
I’ll pinch myself to remind myself
To kill you with kindness
You can beat me with sticks and stones
But my heart you'll never reach
You see when the light plays its part,
The dark side takes a seat
And therefore you are the one who really
Is shattered into a thousand little pieces
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I have to remind myself
To kill you with kindness
Cause that's all I got
I'll stare into those cold eyes of yours
And that very, very lonely heart
Sometimes my hatred will get the best of me
I’ll pinch myself to remind myself
To kill you with kindness
