Would I love you if you killed someone for me?
Well, it would probably depend on who you killed and what the exact circumstances were. For the most part, I’m against killing but I also support self-defense. If you killed someone who was about to kill me, I would at least be appreciative. I can’t guarantee that I’d love you but I’d probably allow you to take me to a movie.
Of course, Alec Benjamin isn’t actually offering to kill anyone in this song. Instead, he’s singing about changing who he is to please the person to whom he is singing. He’s willing to “kill” who he has been and become someone new. That’s really not the best way to go about a relationship, of course.
As for the video, it’s got a nicely ominous atmosphere. A truck stop is always a good place to have an existential crisis.
Enjoy!
