Killing Me Softly
Lost In Silence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All while twisting the knife, deeper inside
Selling us all, feed the insecurities
I'm breaking the habit
Trapped in your world of hate
This fight will never be won
Just let them be free
Your greed is killing me softly
And I know the face that you hide
Somewhere in the dark
And I know it's gone
All that you stand for
And I know it's gone
You're killing me softly
Remove the mask that you molded
It's time to face the rest of the world
Leading them further, lost and diverted
How can we move along, chasing
I'm breaking the habit
Trapped in your world of hate
This fight will never be won
I'm letting them free
Your greed is killing me softly
Tearing us apart
And I know the face that you hide
Somewhere in the dark
And I know it's gone
All that you stand for
And I know it's gone
You're killing me softly
You're killing me softly
You're killing me softly
You're killing me softly
Your greed is killing me softly
Tearing us apart
And I know the face that you hide
Somewhere in the dark
And I know it's gone
All that you stand for
And I know it's gone
You're killing me softly
The lyrics of Lost In Silence's song "Killing Me Softly" convey a powerful message about the destructive force of greed and manipulation. The opening lines suggest a sense of deception and betrayal, as the singer questions how the manipulator was able to "charm the world with a smile" while simultaneously inflicting pain by "twisting the knife deeper inside." The manipulator is described as "selling us all" and "feeding the insecurities," potentially exploiting the vulnerabilities of others for their own gain.
The chorus emphasizes the impact of this greed and manipulation, with the repetition of the phrase "your greed is killing me softly" driving home the destructive influence of those who prioritize their own desires over the well-being of others. The singer acknowledges the "fight" against this destructive force, but also suggests that "letting them be free" may be the best way to combat it. The final lines emphasize the singer's recognition of the manipulator's true nature, as they urge the manipulator to "remove the mask" and face the world without their deceptive facade.
Overall, "Killing Me Softly" is a powerful song that highlights the dangers of greed and manipulation, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing these destructive forces and working to combat them.
