Freedom of Speech
Kill II This Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Suffocated, born and bred indoctrinated
right and wrong, the right words the wrong song
I understand, mainlined since your lies began,
for years the flames of hate were fanned
Propaganda, every word like cancerous anger,
now it's clear, force fed hate, force fed fear
Venom in me, brainwashed with your bigotry,
a poisoned mind conspiracy

Destroy, Erase, A new world, The new way

Speak with violence, my silence part of the problem,
deaf and dumb, nothing said, nothing done
My history, the more I see the more I loathe,
hypocrisy and hate betrothed
Smallness of mind, contagious disease of time,

educate, ignorance seals our fate
Prejudice slowly dies, let it be buried with me . . .

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kill II This's song Freedom of Speech depict the destructive effects of indoctrination and propaganda on an individual's ability to think critically and make their own decisions. The opening lines "Suffocated, born and bred indoctrinated, right and wrong, the right words the wrong song" suggest that the singer has been fed a certain set of beliefs from birth, without ever having been given the opportunity to question them. The repetition of the phrase "force fed hate, force fed fear" reinforces the idea that these beliefs have been imposed upon them, rather than being the product of independent thought.

The singer is aware of the poison they have been fed, and states "now it's clear", indicating a newfound clarity of thought. However, they are also aware of the pervasive effect this propaganda has had on their psyche, describing their mind as "a poisoned mind conspiracy". The lyrics suggest a need for action to combat this indoctrination, with lines like "Destroy, erase, a new world, the new way" and "educate, ignorance seals our fate."

The final lines of the song, "Prejudice slowly dies, let it be buried with me", suggest a desire to break free from the cycle of hate and intolerance that has been perpetuated by those in power. Overall, the song can be seen as a call to arms against the forces of indoctrination and oppression, urging individuals to take responsibility for their own beliefs and to question the status quo.
