Come & Get It

Krewella's 'Come & Get It' delves into the tumultuous and intoxicating nature of a destructive relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of emotional turmoil, where the protagonist is both drawn to and tormented by their lover. The opening lines, 'Pull my heart out of my chest / Train my mind so I forget,' suggest a deep emotional pain and a desire to numb oneself to the memories of the relationship. The imagery of 'sink your teeth into my bones' and 'dig me out then fill the hole' conveys a sense of being consumed and hollowed out by the lover's actions.

The recurring refrain, 'Tear me apart and watch it burn,' emphasizes the destructive nature of the relationship. The protagonist seems to be caught in a cycle of pain and passion, where the lover's actions leave them feeling exposed and vulnerable. The line 'All that's left is a window to my soul' suggests that the protagonist feels stripped down to their very essence, with nothing left to hide. Despite the pain, there is a sense of inevitability and even a twisted attraction to the chaos, as indicated by the repeated invitation to 'come and get it one more time.'

The song also explores the idea of love as a form of addiction. The lines 'Mouth to mouth I breathe you in / Swallow down your jagged sin' and 'The sweetest poison I could take' highlight the paradoxical nature of the relationship. The lover's presence is both toxic and irresistible, creating a powerful and dangerous allure. The protagonist acknowledges the scars left by the lover's words and actions, yet they are drawn back into the relationship, seeking the intense emotional highs despite the inevitable lows. This complex interplay of pain and desire is at the heart of 'Come & Get It,' making it a compelling exploration of the darker side of love.
