SZA Kill Bill Lyrics Meaning

Here is the meaning of the lyrics of Kill Bill by SZA

Sza Kill Bill Lyrics Meaning

Kill Bill is a fantasy crime of passion song. Even when SZA says she killed her new boyfriend, she hasn’t actually carried out the act. It’s all in her imagination and she decided to kill him and his girlfriend in her imagination by creating a scenario of their deaths in her mind. That way, it’s easier to assure herself that they are dead to her and she is not as unhappy and lonely as she thinks she is.

Kill Bill Lyrics Meaning by Sza {Verse 1}

[Verse 1]
I’m still a fan even though I was salty
Hate to see you with some other broad, know you happy
Hate to see you happy if I’m not the one drivin’

I’m so mature, I’m so mature
I’m so mature, I got me a therapist to tell me there’s other men
I don’t want none, I just want you
If I can’t have you, no one should, I might

SZA likens herself to Bill from the 2003-2004 Kill Bill film duology. Bill crashes and massacres the wedding of his ex-lover Beatrix Kiddo after finding out she faked her death to get away from him. At the end of Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Bill reveals that his motive was jealousy: {Genius}

In verse 1 of Kill Bill, SZA reveals she is suffering from more than just a broken heart. This isn’t some “my boyfriend did me evil I want some revenge stuff”. SZA reveals that she just might kill her ex because not only is he happy, he is sharing his happy life with another girl- whom she refers to as “some other broad” who apparently does not deserve the happiness she is enjoying.

Ironically, Kill bill lyrics meaning in Verse 1 sees SZA stating that she is so “mature” that she has her therapist telling her that there are other men out there and so she shouldn’t be obsessed with her ex. However, SZA doesn’t want just any other man, she wants her ex, she wants to share that happiness with him, and she doesn’t want to see him happy if it isn’t with her

Kill Bill Lyrics Meaning {Chorus}

I might kill my ex, not the best idea
His new girlfriend’s next, how’d I get here?
I might kill my ex, I still love him, though
Rather be in jail than alone

A lot of insecurities to see here…

Emphatically, SZA states that she just might kill her ex and his new girlfriend because she is too unhappy and lonely to not gloat and wish that she was the one enjoying their happiness and not them.

She further states “Better to be in jail than alone”. She intermittently asks how she got here but it doesn’t sound like she cares because she has lost all logical approach and is giving in to whatever her emotions dictate. For her, she has nothing to lose and still, everything to lose if she kills her ex and his new broad.

SZA Kill Bill Lyrics Meaning {Verse 2}

I get the sense that it’s a lost cause
I get the sense that you might really love her
The text gon’ be evidence, this text is evidence
I try to ration with you, no murders, no crime of passion
But, damn, you was out of reach
You was at the farmer’s market with your perfect peach
Now I’m in amazement, playin’ on my patience
Now you layin’ face-down, got me sayin’ over a beat

Kill bill lyrics meaning in verse 2 presents the “reasonable” part of SZA were she reconsiders the whole crime of passion thing and tries to justify the reasons for her intended actions.

She says she knows it’s a lost cause because even if she kills her ex’s new girlfriend, it doesn’t mean he will get back together with her and things will work for her. She feels it in her gut that they are truly in love. But she just can’t bring herself to be happy for them.

Kill Bill Lyrics Meaning {Bridge}

I did it all for love (Love)
I did it all on no drugs (Drugs)
I did all of this sober
I did it all for us, oh
I did it all for love (Love)
I did all of this on no drugs (Drugs)
I did all of this sober
Don’t you know I did it all for us? (I’m gon’ kill your ass tonight)

Kill Bill Lyrics Meaning in the Bridge of the song sees SZA debunking an age-long belief that you have to be crazy or high on drugs before you think about committing a crime of passion like murdering your ex’s partner.

She confesses that she wants to do it because she feels like. She feels like it’s the only way she will have “Peace of mind”. Killing her ex and his new “broad” will mean that none of them will have each other. Her thoughts are murderous and she doesn’t seem to care that she sounds crazy for thinking those thoughts

Kill Bill Meaning {Chorus}

Oh, I just killed my ex, not the best idea (Idea)
Killed his girlfriend next, how’d I get here?
I just killed my ex, I still love him, though (I do)
Rather be in hell than alone

At the end of the song, SZA says she already killed her ex and his new girlfriend. Meanwhile we have to note here that Kill Bill is a fantasy passion of crime song. Even when SZA says she killed her new boyfriend, she hasn’t actually carried out the act. It’s all in her imagination and she decided to kill him and his girlfriend in her imagination too by creating a scenario of their deaths in her mind.
