Trinity
Kill II This Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the whole wide world except for me
In my veins and in my blood -
the truth I see is clear as mud
I am infected, I am the host -
Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Thou shalt not covet, Thou shalt not kill -
Trinity, Believe in me
Trinity, Believe in me
Trinity, Believe in me
Trinity, The path of truth and of light
Right before my eyes, the sun so Bright -
And yet I cannot see the light
Oh my God, where do I begin -
twisted with guilt, ingrained to sin
What of forgiveness and what about love
Father, why Hell when I¹m your own flesh and blood
Why punish me for choices made
While rapists and murderers are saved
The lyrics to Kill II This's song "Trinity" explore the concept of religion and its impact on people's lives. The singer acknowledges that the truth, which is in their veins and blood, is not clear to them. They express that they feel infected and are the host, embodying the three personas of the Holy Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
The singer seems to be struggling with the commandments and the sins they have committed or have the potential to commit. They question the unfair disparity of punishment meted out to the believers of the religion. The song's theme presents a sense of disillusionment with religion's authority and its ability to cause confusion rather than provide clarity.
The chorus, "Trinity, Believe in me," signifies the internal turmoil and quest for redemption of the singer. The repeated verse, "Thou shalt not covet, Thou shalt not kill," further emphasizes the religious tenets that the singer adheres but also the challenges they face in upholding them. The song puts forth questions that may resonate with listeners who experience their religious beliefs' contradictions.
