"Killing Me" is the twenty-sixth single by L'Arc-en-Ciel, released on January 13, 2005. It debuted at number 1 on the Oricon chart, and was certified Gold by RIAJ for shipment of 100,000 copies. The single aroused public notice because they collaborated with Sayaka Aoki on the B-side song, "Round and Round 2005" (the second appearance by their alter ego, P'unk-en-Ciel).
Skindred is a Welsh rock band formed in Newport, South Wales in 1998. Skindred's musical style mixes heavy metal, alternative rock and reggae. The band also integrate elements of hardcore punk, dancehall, jungle, ska, hip hop, drum and bass, dubstep and various other influences into their music. Skindred are well known for their energetic and involving live performances, and have won several awards including "Best Live Band" at the 2011 UK Metal Hammer 'Golden Gods' awards and the "Devotion Award" at the 2011 Kerrang! Awards.
Dub War was formed in Newport in 1993, and eventually signed with Earache Records. According to vocalist Benji Webbe, "They would not let us record and just wouldn't give us money to live on, this made us fight internally till we had no option other than to go our separate ways or kill someone or each other." Dub War disbanded in 1998, and Webbe formed Skindred with bassist Daniel Pugsley, guitarist Mikeydemus, and drummer Arya Goggin after Webbe was unable to put together a new project featuring other members of Dub War. In 2002, Skindred released its debut album, Babylon. After being reissued in 2003 by RCA Records, the album was re-released by Lava Records on 14 August 2004. Allmusic writer Johnny Loftus wrote that "Skindred doesn't seem to consciously want the reinvention tag; it has simply tapped into the same lack of pretension that fueled Korn and Living Colour's Vivid – records that were made visionary by an unadulterated honesty in both delivery and craft. [...] highly recommended for fans of literate genre jumpers like Soulfly and System of a Down, or any heshers looking for some heavy-hitting firepower that hasn't fallen victim to the anvil of corporate assimilation."
If i break down what would it take for you to see
That i have been left empty inside
From the scars that i have made
Cause you don't know what i've been through
All of the time that i spent waiting for you and
I have locked it inside and now it's killing me
How would you feel if i told you things would never be the same
How would you feel if told you this would never go away
What would it take for you to understand
You don't know me
Would it take for you to realize that you don't know what i've been through
All of the time that i spent waiting for you
I have locked it inside and now it's killing me
How would you feel if i told you things would never be the same
How would you feel if i told you this would never go away
How would you feel if i told you it's inside of me
How would you feel if i told you this was killing me
I know we'll never escape from this
Running as fast as we can
But i know we'll never escape from this
Running as fast as we can to get away
How would you feel if i told you things would never be the same
How would you feel if i told you this would never go away
How would you feel if i told you it's inside of me
How would you feel if i told you this was killing me
This is killing me
Now this is killing me
