"The Kill" by Grace Power is a harrowing song about the exhaustion that comes from keeping who you are buried underneath the surface. Ambiguous about the truth the speaker is tortured by, but raw and vulnerable about the direct personal struggle, this song resonates strongly with listeners whose uncomfortable realities are catching up with them. Powerful lyrics like "couldn't outrun my body" will ground you in the present, drawing on ideas of avoidance before moving on to face reality. Isolating yourself and pretending you're fine only goes so far, and this emotional track tackles the need to face the things that scare you, no matter how difficult.
This alternative pop track captures the force that comes from internal struggle in its bold sound. Acoustic guitar and booming percussion work through the entire song, creating a theatric atmosphere to the tune that feels like a battle.

The chorus shows off Grace's range as she sings through highs and lows, emphasizing the emotion of the song. The bridge mixes vocalizing with belting, reaching profound heights of expression that will captivate your senses.
