Kill Lyrics
Creeping, throbbing
Saunter from corner to wall
Trying to part their whispers from shouting and calls
This will is itching
This want is making me soar
What is expected, to seem a happy whore
Come on, let's kill this
Demands and notions
All this commotion is not worth it
Come on, just give this a second coming
An age is dawning with all smiles and laughter
(x2)
One foot forward, will you be catching my fall?
Once I give, I know you’ll be claiming more (from me)
And, you had me scratching, you have been talking me soar (come on, just kill this, come on)
What is expected, to carry you in my arms? (come on, just kill this, come on)
Come on, just kill this demands and notions
All this commotion is not worth it
Come on, just give this a second coming
An age is dawning with our smiles and laughter
(x2)
Come on, just kill this (x12)
(and laughter)
Come on, just kill this (x6)
(and laughter)
Come on, just kill this demands and notions
All this commotion is not worth it (not worth it)
Come on, just give this a second coming
An age is dawning with our smiles and laughter (and laughter)
All smiles and laughter
Saunter from corner to wall
Trying to part their whispers from shouting and calls
This will is itching
This want is making me soar
What is expected, to seem a happy whore
Demands and notions
All this commotion is not worth it
Come on, just give this a second coming
An age is dawning with all smiles and laughter
(x2)
Once I give, I know you’ll be claiming more (from me)
And, you had me scratching, you have been talking me soar (come on, just kill this, come on)
What is expected, to carry you in my arms? (come on, just kill this, come on)
All this commotion is not worth it
Come on, just give this a second coming
An age is dawning with our smiles and laughter
(x2)
(and laughter)
Come on, just kill this (x6)
(and laughter)
All this commotion is not worth it (not worth it)
Come on, just give this a second coming
An age is dawning with our smiles and laughter (and laughter)
All smiles and laughter

She saying "what is expected? to seem a happy whore?"
So I was comparing this entry with some other websites (and listening and watching her lips), and I think I've got (what are relatively minor) corrections to this.
The whole song seems to be about her breaking under the pressure of expectations during pregnancy, and begging for the death of the child inside of her so she can be free from it. The theme of the first verse is performance anxiety, and the second verse seems to be addressed to either the father, or, more likely, the baby itself. Because of these themes, your "demands and notions" seems to be correct; she wants to escape the demands and notions of both society and the unborn baby.
However, she seems to be arguing this idea with herself (possibly she even looks forward to it a bit?), and in the second part of the chorus she clearly says "a second coming", instead of "just kill this" again. All together it sounds like she says "Come, just give it a second coming, an age is dawning without smiles and laughter" (though "with our" seems equally valid, since the second part of the chorus seems to be her arguing with her desire to kill the baby).
Also, in the first verse, it should be "sore", not soar, I think. Anyway, I put it all together below. Thoughts?
VERSE 1: Creeping, throbbing, shock of love, corner toward Trying to part their whispers from shouting encore This will is itching, this want is making me sore
What is expected, to see my happy one?
CHORUS x2: Come on, just kill this, demands and notions, all this commotion is not worth it. Come on, just give it a second coming, an age is dawning with our smiles and laughter
VERSE 2: One foot forward, will you be catching my fall? Once I give, I know you'll be claiming more (from me) You had me scratching, you have been talking me sore (come on, just kill this, come on) What is expected, to carry you in my arms? (come on, just kill this, come on)
CHORUS: Come on, just kill this, demands and notions, all this commotion is not worth it, Come on, just give it a second coming, an age is dawning with our smiles and laughter
(Come on, just kill this) Come on, just kill this, (come on, just kill this) demands and notions, (come on, just kill this) all this commotion is not worth it.
(come on, just kill this) Come on, just give it (come on, just kill this) a second coming, (come on, just kill this) an age is dawning with our smiles and laughter.
BRIDGE 1 x4: (come on, just kill this) (come on, just kill this) (come on, just kill this)
BRIDGE 2 x2: (and laughter) (come on, just kill this) (come on, just kill this)
CHORUS: (Come on, just kill this) Come on, just kill this, (come on, just kill this) demands and notions, (come on, just kill this) all this commotion is not worth it. (not worth it)
(come on, just kill this) Come on, just give it (come on, just kill this) a second coming, (come on, just kill this) an age is dawning with our smiles and laughter. (with our smiles and laughter)
The first verse is definitely "Soar", you'll see that line in the Bullett Magazine interview.

@maryxus this is such an amazing post.. Great job! My only two things are: is it corner toward? I definitely hear corner but I'm not sure if forever fits, and then the "happy one" - should it be happy boy? I swear I can hear boy.

You put so much thought and effort into your interpretation. Thank you! And I can absolutely see the abortion meaning.
