Headlines Read Out...
We the Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay for a moment and
I promise that I will be different
And you'll see me
Wait, wait
And I'll show you
There is more to this if you will listen
And you'll soon believe

Extra extra, hear me now

I am not the kind
That will hide
Beneath the lights
And lyrical one letters
I can't stand the hype

And I am not the kind
That will hide
Between the lines of love
And faking it all for these
Headlines read out...whoa

Stay for a moment
I'll be the biggest bet
With greater odds
Than you have ever seen

Wait, wait
Someone stop me now
'Cause I don't think
I can hold this down for you
You'll see me

Extra extra, hear me now

I am not the kind
That will hide
Beneath the lights
And lyrical one letters
I can't stand the hype

And I am not the kind
That will lie
Between the lines of love
And faking it all for these
Headlines read out...whoa

Can't you can't you see that this is the proof you need
Can't you can't you see that this is what we all need.

I am not the kind
That will hide
Beneath the lights
And lyrical one letters
I can't stand the hype

And I am not the kind
That will lie
Between the lines of love
And faking it all for these
Headlines read out...whoa

Overall Meaning

The song "Headlines Read Out" by We the Kings talks about a person who promises to be different from others and wants to prove that there is more to them if people would just listen. They refuse to follow the trends and hype of the media industry and do things their way. They don't hide behind fancy lights and lyrics or fake love just to impress the media. They are real and want to prove to the world that they are not like the rest. They offer a new perspective that listeners should pay attention to, and that the media should take notice of as well.


The song speaks to anyone who wants to be true to themselves and not conform to society's norms. It encourages listeners to stay true to their beliefs and not be swayed by the cacophony of hype and noise that surrounds them. It is a reminder that one doesn't need to fake love or be over the top to be noticed, but rather just be themselves.
