KILL OR BE KILLED – Bilingual Lyrics English/Chinese

• By: MUSE
• Album: WILL OF THE PEOPLE

Lyrics & Translation

Dive into Muse's explosive "Kill or Be Killed," a masterclass in modern metal with its granite-heavy riffs, powerful vocals, and raw lyrical intensity. This song offers a unique opportunity to experience high-energy English rock while exploring themes of societal pressure and survival. Listen closely to Matt Bellamy's dynamic vocal delivery, including his dramatic growls and operatic flourishes, to grasp expressive English, and unravel the potent metaphors within its hard-hitting lyrics to understand contemporary commentary in song.

杀戮或被杀

...

陷入绝境，恐惧让我筋疲力尽

我们的爱与同情已消散

恶魔在我体内实体化

无法对抗它们，它们正在掌控一切

我们努力尝试，哦，我们如此努力地想要做好

但世界却在我们做坏事时奖励我们

命运，正在让我发疯

它迫使我面对

我必须杀戮或被杀

...

杀戮或被杀

...

他们将利刃刺穿我的心

我变得如此冷漠和疏离

我努力尝试，哦，我如此努力地想要传播爱

但她更喜欢我掌控一切的时候

命运将我们带到这里面对

我们的希望和梦想被抹去

要么杀戮，要么被杀

耶，耶，耶，耶，耶

耶，耶，耶，耶，耶

耶，耶，耶

耶，耶，耶

啊，呃，耶，耶

耶，耶，耶

杀戮或被杀

...

战争

杀戮或被杀

...

耶

耶 耶 耶 耶 耶 耶

要么杀戮，要么被杀

命运，正在让我发疯

它迫使我面对

我必须杀戮或被杀

...

杀戮或被杀

...

杀戮或被杀

...

杀戮或被杀

...

杀戮或被杀

...

[English]

(Kill or be killed)

Cornered, I'm exhausted with fear

Our love and compassion dissolved

And demons, have materialized in me

Can't fight them, they're taking control

And we've tried, oh we've tried so hard to be good

But the world rewards us when we're bad

Fate, is driving me insane

It's forcing me to face

I must kill or be killed

(Kill or be killed)

They've driven a stake right through my heart

I'm growing so cold and detached

And I've tried, oh I've tried so hard to spread love

But she prefers it when I assert control

Fate has brought us here to face

Our hopes and dreams erased

Either kill or be killed

Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah

Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah

Yah, yah, yah

Yah, yah, yah

Ah, eh, yah, yah

Yah, yah, yah

Kill or be killed

Waaaar

Kill or be killed

Yaaaah

Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah

Either kill or be killed

Fate, is driving me insane

It's forcing me to face

I must kill or be killed

Kill or be killed

Kill or be killed

Kill or be killed

Kill or be killed
