Kill
A-rise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll swear up and down you'd like to change
But when the sun sinks slowly into the sky,
Now you're right
Where you started again with nothing to say,
Without an argument or case
And when it's said and done and done and said,
And now what's another day?
I can feel these changes right before my eyes
I see a dying fire inside your eyes, inside your eyes
When will you stop and realize,
The worth and value of your life?
As you suffocate yourself within this mindless,
Nine to five wake up! there's more!
And your life is nobody's but yours
And now its said and done and done and said,
And now what's another day?
I can feel these changes right before my eyes
I see a dying fire inside your eyes
You're running circles around my slow pace
You've reached the finish line only to realize there was no race
I'm sick of being stepped on for the things I choose
I give and take and now I've taken all I could
And now I've taken all I could
And now I've taken all I could
And now I've taken all I could (now I've taken, now I've taken)
And now I've taken all I could (now I've taken, now I've taken)
And now I've taken all I could
In "Kill", A-rise presents a disillusioned perspective on life, particularly in regards to the mundane routine of a 9 to 5 job. The first verse describes someone watching their life "go up in flames", implying a sense of hopelessness or failure. They may want to change but find themselves in the same position repeatedly, with "nothing to say". The second verse is more introspective and questions the worth and value of life, with the repetition of "now what's another day?" suggesting a sense of apathy or nihilism.
The chorus focuses on the changes the singer sees in someone else and the "dying fire" in their eyes, which could be interpreted as a loss of passion or purpose. The third verse introduces the idea of a race with no finish line, suggesting futility in trying to achieve success or happiness within societal norms. The singer is "sick of being stepped on" and has reached a breaking point, having "taken all I could".
Overall, "Kill" presents a bleak outlook on life and the struggles to find meaning and fulfillment within societal expectations.

As I watch your life go up in flames,
As I witness your life falling apart,
You'll swear up and down you'd like to change
You'll insist that you want to transform yourself
But when the sun sinks slowly into the sky,
When the day comes to an end,
Now you're right Where you started again with nothing to say,
You find yourself back where you began, with no progress or improvement to show for it
Without an argument or case
With no explanation or justification
And when it's said and done and done and said,
After everything is said and done,
And now what's another day?
What difference will another day make?
I can feel these changes right before my eyes
I can sense the changes happening in front of me
I see a dying fire inside your eyes, inside your eyes
I see a fading passion in your eyes
When will you stop and realize,
When will you come to the realization,
The worth and value of your life?
The significance and importance of your existence?
As you suffocate yourself within this mindless,
As you smother yourself in this mind-numbing,
Nine to five wake up! there's more!
Monotonous daily routine Wake up! There's more to life than this!
And your life is nobody's but yours
Your life belongs only to you
You're running circles around my slow pace
You're moving much faster than my slow speed
You've reached the finish line only to realize there was no race
You've completed your journey, only to understand that there was no competition
I'm sick of being stepped on for the things I choose
I'm exhausted of being treated poorly for the choices I make
I give and take and now I've taken all I could
I've given and compromised enough, and now I can't give any more
And now I've taken all I could
I've reached my limit
And now I've taken all I could
I've taken as much as I can
And now I've taken all I could (now I've taken, now I've taken)
And now I've reached my breaking point (now I've taken, now I've taken)
And now I've taken all I could (now I've taken, now I've taken)
And now I can't take it anymore (now I've taken, now I've taken)
