Death Wish Love — Benson Boone Lyrics
Soundtrack: Twisters
Death Wish Love Song Lyrics
How could something so delicate also be dangerous?
Kind of afraid of it, darling, believe me
I'm just praying you'd keep me
And you look like an angel there, you and your braided hair
Oh, it's just so unfair, you'll never see
You've got a hold on me
[Chorus]
It's a death wish love
Take my heart, I'll let you spill my blood
Cut me down again
I love you, and I'll love you to death
On and on, and only you can kill me now
I'll scream your name until my lungs give out
Hold me down again
I love you, and I'll love you to death
Love you for..

Annotations and Meaning
"Death Wish Love" is a haunting ballad by Benson Boone that digs into the complications of intense love. It features on a compilation called Twisters: The Album.
[Verse]
Thus, the verse would start with an introspective question—wondering at the paradox of something so fragile being dangerous. This love in the persona is alluring, and a sign of vulnerability would leave one tempted and scared at the same time. The whole picture of an angel with braided hair gives an impression of innocence, but in contrast to this is the dangerous hold of the lover over him.
[Chorus]
The chorus sums everything up: love as a death wish. The protagonist throws himself into the fray, ready to take whatever suffering and possible devastation that follows. In this way, the "to death" love is clearly brought out through the use of repetition. What's more, the spilling blood and screaming lover's name until his lungs give out imagery underscore the self-destructive nature of this love. These are the lyrics that represent the struggle to be drawn toward an overpowering love and the dangers that it ignites deep within a person. Benson Boone uses living dramatic imagery to describe whirlwinds of emotions and a relationship that becomes both irresistible and dangerous. Further, this haunting melody and emotional delivery presented in the song add to its exploration of the darker side of love.
