Birds are circling above
They're called back to a waiting glove
Oh, why don't they
fly away?
Surely they have guessed by now
There is no gun to shoot them down
And still they stay
for what they say
Are we killing them with lies?
Are they fighting for their lives?
Killing them with thoughts?
Can we never get enough?
Killing them are we killing killing every single feeling?
It's a trained response
Birds are circling above
They're called back to a waiting glove
This sordid game
It fears my name
I have worshiped some false gods
I run to them like Pavlov's dogs
To hide my shame
and fan the flame
Are we killing them with lies?
Are they fighting for their lives?
Killing them with thoughts?
Can we never get enough?
Killing them are we killing killing every single feeling?
It's a trained response
We're all preset to reset to
DUMB
TO DUMB
WE'RE ALL PRESET TO RESET TO DUMB
WE'RE ALL PRESET TO RESET TO DUMB
Somebody told me once
Beat them 'til they start to get used to it
Next thing they're lining up
ARE WE KILLING IT?
ARE WE KILLING IT?
ARE WE KILLING IT?
ARE WE KILLING IT?
ARE WE KILLING IT?
ARE WE KILLING IT?
ARE WE KILLING IT?
ARE WE KILLING?

What is the meaning behind Killing lyrics?
When we examine its symbolic meaning, Korn's "Killing" goes on a journey through manipulation and control, using the overflying birds metaphor to indicate the people who are caught up in the lies and false beliefs, and seeking to know whether the society or the individuals themselves are the ones who suffocate the feelings and enhance the EA and the whole cycle of conditioned responses. Killing lyrics convey the message mostly through angst, reflection, despair, anger, and social commentary. In the same breath, the song indirectly highlights extinction and desensitization thus speaking loudly of manipulation and control, self-examination and guilt, and existential despair as well. The lyrics are marked with violence, manipulation, and emotional turmoil themes, which are characteristic to an adult audience only. The repeated questioning about 'killing' and the mention of 'beating them till they start to get used to it' imply very strong and disturbing themes which may not be very suitable for small children to be exposed to without the parents' guidance. ✔️

Killing falls under the genre Rock. ✔️
