Meaning of Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name (Nederlandse Vertaling) by Genius Nederlandse Vertalingen

"Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine is a powerful protest song that criticizes the use of violence and control by those in power, specifically targeting oppressive structures and racism.

The song condemns those who claim to be working for justice while simultaneously perpetrating acts of violence, symbolized by the line "Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses." This highlights a hypocritical nature within systems that claim to uphold order and justice while perpetuating discrimination and inequality.

The repeated phrase "Killing in the name of" emphasizes the destructive consequences of blindly following orders and ideologies, urging listeners to question the motives behind acts of violence carried out in the name of authority or control.

The chorus suggests that those who have died defending such oppressive systems are not justified in their actions, but rather used as pawns in a larger game. The reference to "the chosen whites" suggests racial hierarchy and white supremacy, highlighting the systemic racism that exists within these power structures.

Overall, "Killing in the Name" serves as a rallying cry against injustice, urging individuals to resist blind obedience and challenge oppressive systems that perpetuate violence and inequality. The explicit use of profanity in the outro further emphasizes the song's anger and frustration, refusing to comply with oppressive demands.
