2. Merge was founded by Guitarist Julien in 2011. After a bunch of shows played the same year, the band took a new start bringing in ‘Trapped by Stereo’s’ singer, Anthony, for what becomes a turning point in the band’s history. As the band writes their first tracks they get the chance to open for bands such as Dance Gavin Dance, La Dispute and Touche Amore.
In March 2012 Merge release their debut EP “Transmission” followed by a series of shows at venues all around France, and their reputation increased rapidly thanks to solid live performances. At the end of 2012 the band announced through their facebook page their debut album produced by Matt Goldman (Underoath, The Chariot, As Cities Burn...) to be release on fall 2013.

Kill Me
Merge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But he can't forgive your sins
Strong enough to fight for love
At least it makes no sense
Silently the bird of passage
Flies along its way
Singing a sweet pacific song
Each and every day
Carry it into my grave into a foreign land
I hear your voice through a brick of wall
Although you are not here
I taste you salty perfumed skin
My whole life is fixed by fear
The mirror breaks in million fragments
And cuts you deep my dear
Fallen angels can't explain
Why you are not here
Like a liar I beg to good
Will he forgive his sins
But strong enough to fight for love
At least it makes no sense
Kill me softly and deliever me again
Steal my soul and leave it in another buried land
If you find the grave of mine in the desert sand
I will leave the world behind and the agony will end
Like a prayer I beg to god
But he can't forgive your sins
The lyrics to Merge's song "Kill Me" are rich with metaphor and emotion. The opening lines seem to set up a story of a person who is seeking forgiveness from a higher power, but who has come to believe that this forgiveness may not be possible for the sins they have committed. The lines "Strong enough to fight for love / At least it makes no sense" suggest that the singer is struggling with the conflict between their desire to be loved and forgiven and their understanding that this may not be possible.
The central metaphor of the bird of passage who sings a pacific song every day suggests a sense of longing and searching for something that may never be found. This longing is coupled with a sense of secrecy and isolation, as the singer keeps their secret to themselves and carries it to the grave. The imagery of the mirror breaking into a million fragments and cutting the singer's love deep suggests a sense of pain and suffering that is not easily healed.
The chorus brings the listener back to the central theme of forgiveness and redemption, with the singer begging for forgiveness like a liar and questioning whether they are strong enough to fight for love. The final stanza brings a sense of resolution to the song, with the singer asking to be killed softly and delivered again, allowing them to leave behind the pain and agony of their past.
Overall, the lyrics of "Kill Me" are haunting and emotionally powerful, capturing the struggle of seeking forgiveness and grappling with the consequences of past actions.
Line by Line Meaning
Like a prayer I beg to god
I am pleading with God for help
But he can't forgive your sins
God cannot forgive the bad things you have done
Strong enough to fight for love
I am determined to fight for love, no matter how hard it is
At least it makes no sense
Even though I know it's illogical, I can't help how I feel about love
Silently the bird of passage
The migrating bird flies quietly and peacefully
Flies along its way
The bird continues on its journey without stopping
Singing a sweet pacific song
The bird is singing a beautiful, calming melody
Each and every day
The bird sings this song every day on its journey
I keep the secret I hope you understand
There is something I know that I can't tell anyone, but I hope you will be okay with that
Carry it into my grave into a foreign land
I will take this secret with me when I die, even if I am buried in a faraway place
I hear your voice through a brick of wall
Even though you are not here, I can still hear your voice as if it's on the other side of a wall
Although you are not here
You are not physically present with me right now
I taste you salty perfumed skin
I remember the way you smelled and tasted
My whole life is fixed by fear
I am living in constant fear, which has taken over my whole life
The mirror breaks in million fragments
The mirror has shattered into many pieces
And cuts you deep my dear
The pieces cut you badly, my beloved
Fallen angels can't explain
Even angels who have fallen cannot understand why you are not here
Why you are not here
I am confused and hurt by your absence
Like a liar I beg to good
I feel like I am lying to God as I plead with Him for help
Will he forgive his sins
I am not sure if God will forgive me for what I have done wrong
Kill me softly and deliever me again
I want to die painlessly and be delivered to a new life
Steal my soul and leave it in another buried land
I want to give up my soul and leave it in a distant place where no one can find it
If you find the grave of mine in the desert sand
If someone finds my grave in a lonely place like the desert, it won't matter to me
I will leave the world behind and the agony will end
If I die and leave the world, all the pain and suffering will finally end
