Intro
cheonsa gateun kkeuten angma gateun
Angel-like at first, devil-like at last
maebeon michildeuthan dwien baeteoya haneun
After every crazy rush, you gotta spit it out
igeon dabi eopneun maebeon sokdeorado
This has no answer, even if I'm fooled every time
ttakan gamjeongui noye
A pitiful emotion's slave
eoreo jugeul saranghae
Love you so damn much I'd freeze to death
gajang dokan geolro jwo
Serve me the most lethal stuff
ppeonhadi ppeonhan geu
That obviously predictable one
deo naenwabwa
Bring it on
araseo maedalryeo byeorang kkeute
Go ahead and cling alone at the cliff's edge
hanmadimyeon tto hebeolre hae
One word, and grinning again
geu ttatteuthan tteolrimi saeppalgan seolremi
That warm trembling, that crimson thrill
machi gatgetjiman
It may seem the same, but
nuga deo apeulkka?
Who will suffer more
You smart nuga? You are
You smart, who? You are
du nune pinunmul heureuge doendamyeon
If blood tears stream from your eyes
So sorry nuga? You are
So sorry, who? You are
na eotteokae nayakan nal gyeondil su eopseo
What do I do? I can't stand my weak self
aesseo du nuneul garin chae
Hiding my eyes, with all my effort
sarangui sumtongeul kkeunheoyagesseo
I have to cut off the breath of love
gyeolgugen geojinmal
In the end, it's a lie
manyage naega neol jiuge
If I end up erasing you
doendamyeon
Then
na eotteokae nayakan nal gyeondil su eopseo
What do I do? I can't stand my weak self
aesseo nunmureul gamchun chae
While I force myself to hide the tears
sarangui sumtongeul kkeunheoyagesseo
I have to cut off the breath of love

피눈물tears of blood

피눈물 literally translates to "tears of blood." It's a powerful and dramatic expression that you don't encounter in everyday conversation, making it quite memorable.

In the context of "Kill This Love," this word vividly conveys extreme sorrow, pain, and heartbreak. The lyrics state, "두 눈에 피눈물 흐르게 된다면" (If tears of blood flow from my eyes), emphasizing the profound suffering caused by a toxic love that the singers feel they must end. This intense imagery perfectly captures the song's theme of a love so painful it brings one to their breaking point.

BLACKPINK isn't messing around in "Kill This Love"! This song is a powerful anthem about ending a toxic relationship that feels amazing one minute and terrible the next. They describe a love that starts with an "천사 같은" (angel-like) face but has a devilish side, where every high is followed by a painful low. The lyrics paint a picture of being a "딱한 감정의 노예" (pitiful slave to emotion), stuck in a cycle that you know is bad for you but can't seem to escape.

But then, the song completely shifts gears. Instead of staying weak, they decide to fight back and take control. The message is clear: you have to end the pain before it destroys you. They make the tough decision that "사랑의 숨통을 끊어야겠어" (I need to end this love). It's a dramatic, explosive declaration that sometimes the only way to save yourself is to be the one to pull the plug, summed up in the final, blunt lines: "Gotta kill this love / Before it kills you too."
