(Kill or be killed)
00:24
00:27
Cornered, I'm exhausted with fear
00:41
Our love and compassion dissolved
00:48
And demons, have materialized in me
00:56
Can't fight them, they're taking control
01:03
And we've tried, oh we've tried so hard to be good
01:11
But the world rewards us when we're bad
01:19
Fate, is driving me insane
01:27
It's forcing me to face
01:32
I must kill or be killed
01:36
01:41
(Kill or be killed)
01:49
01:52
They've driven a stake right through my heart
01:57
I'm growing so cold and detached
02:05
And I've tried, oh I've tried so hard to spread love
02:12
But she prefers it when I assert control
02:20
Fate has brought us here to face
02:28
Our hopes and dreams erased
02:33
Either kill or be killed
02:37
Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah
02:43
Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah
02:48
Yah, yah, yah
02:50
Yah, yah, yah

Ah, eh, yah, yah

03:13

Yaaaah
03:36
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah
03:42
Either kill or be killed
03:45
Fate, is driving me insane
03:52
It's forcing me to face
03:56
I must kill or be killed

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.
[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
