"This trust will kill again" is about journalists and their relation to freedom of speech. If you have a standpoint and that standpoint gets distorted in any way, either by imagery or if words are put in your mouth, in a magazine or newspaper that reaches thousands of people, then that in itself is suppression of your freedom of speech.

Refused is a hardcore band from Umeå, Sweden, formed in 1991. Members include vocalist Dennis Lyxzén, guitarist Kristofer Steen, drummer David Sandström, and bassist Magnus Flagge. Many sources cite the band as extremely influential in the development of underground music.
Refused's lyrics focus mostly on revolutionary politics, drawing on Marxism and anarchism. Formed from the ashes of Step Forward, by the time of their first album the band already had a strong anti-establishment profile. Members were all vegan straight edge until their last show in 1998. After the initial breakup, Lyxzén formed other bands such as the (International) Noise Conspiracy, AC4, and INVSN.
