Kill Kill Kill
Bathory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Industrialized abortions
The organs lined up on the shelves
Colored pills guaranteed to keep you at peace
With your pitiful fucking selves

So full of nothing behind the closed doors
Of your very own misery
You're getting your share of weird fucking pleasure
Watching humiliation tv

You're all fucking nothing but bricks on a board
Pawns in a game moved and owned by faceless high lords
Useful a cog in the money machine
Disposable sellable obedient slaves to extort industry

That's why you kill
Why you want to kill
Why you should kill
And so you kill

Beauty pageants for the five year old
Pay-per-view Christ for your souls
The lottery of mammon will provide for you
When you are back broken useless and old

But once you are dead and they'll showed
You into the forgiving flames
They'll refer to you only by a social security number
And not your name

Life is no welfare circus you're all born to work and to give
Do not even dare to believe in an alternative way which to live
So shut up and swallow the pain that keeps eating you up from inside
And continue to timely pay your fucking taxes until you all fucking dies

That's why you kill
Why you want to kill
Why you should kill
And so you kill

Overall Meaning

Bathory's song Kill Kill Kill speaks of the dehumanizing nature of industrialization and capitalism. The lyrics point towards the increasing mechanization and automation of society that have led to the commoditization of individuals. The first verse of the song talks about the practice of industrialized abortions and organs that are lined up on shelves like any other product. The colored pills are guaranteed to keep people at peace with their miserable lives. The verse points towards the alienation of people from their own emotions and the need to numb themselves to cope with the reality of the world.


The second verse talks about people's obsessive consumption of entertainment, mainly humiliation TV. The verse refers to people as nothing but bricks on a board and pawns in a game moved and owned by faceless high lords. People are seen as disposable, sellable, and obedient slaves to the extort industry. The third verse points towards the futility of life and the lack of any real opportunities for social mobility. People are expected to work and give until they die, with no possibility of an alternative way of living. People are expected to pay taxes until they die and are reduced to social security numbers after their deaths.


Overall, the song reflects the angst and anger of people who have been dehumanized by capitalism and industrialization. The song tries to provoke its listeners to take action against such systems and fight for their liberation and individuality.


Line by Line Meaning

Industrialized abortions
Abortion has become an industrial process, devoid of any ethical considerations


The organs lined up on the shelves
The aftermath of abortion treated as commercialized waste, devoid of any reverence


Colored pills guaranteed to keep you at peace
Psychiatric drugs that numb you to life's problems, but at a cost


With your pitiful fucking selves
The drugs package your life force and render your existence pitiful


So full of nothing behind the closed doors
The lives you lead behind closed doors are empty and barren, propped up by temporary highs


Of your very own misery
You are the architect of your own sadness thanks to your drive for material success


You're getting your share of weird fucking pleasure
Society has normalized watching misery and humiliation on TV, feeding on others' pain


Watching humiliation tv
Of all the things, humiliation is the most ubiquitous and relatable


You're all fucking nothing but bricks on a board
Individual humans are akin to bricks in a game that some unseen players control


Pawns in a game moved and owned by faceless high lords
The so-called masters of the game are nameless, faceless entities that prey on the vulnerable


Useful a cog in the money machine
People are used as disposable pawns to facilitate profit, with no regard for human dignity


Disposable sellable obedient slaves to extort industry
The workforce is viewed as nothing more than replaceable parts to exploit


That's why you kill
The anger and dehumanization you feel breeds a desire for destruction


Why you want to kill
The pervasive despair and corruption make you yearn for death


Why you should kill
The sense of helplessness is so strong that the only way out seems to be violence


And so you kill
The cycle of violence perpetuates itself because there seems to be no other way out of the misery and oppression


Beauty pageants for the five year old
Children are sexualized to fulfill adults' fantasies of innocence


Pay-per-view Christ for your souls
Religion is sold to you on TV like any other commodity


The lottery of mammon will provide for you
The system only rewards the lucky few and the rest must fend for themselves


When you are back broken useless and old
The society strips away your humanity once you’re no longer ‘valuable’


But once you are dead and they'll showed
In death, you’re reduced to nothing but a mere number in the eyes of the system


You into the forgiving flames
Society pretends to care in death, but in reality, they are erasing you


They'll refer to you only by a social security number
Your sense of self and individual identity is denied in the end, with only numbers left to remember you by


And not your name
Your individuality is swallowed up by the system that made you a pawn


Life is no welfare circus you're all born to work and to give
The purpose of life, according to society, is to work tirelessly and give away what little you have


Do not even dare to believe in an alternative way which to live
Any alternative way of existing outside of the current system is deemed unacceptable and taboo


So shut up and swallow the pain that keeps eating you up from inside
All expressions of pain and dissent must be suppressed for the greater good of the system


And continue to timely pay your fucking taxes until you all fucking dies
The system only rewards those who comply and fear not the penalties of nonconformity
