Heavy Lies the Crown
A Loss for Words Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The darkness owns these highways
Just three more hours
Before we see the sun shine!
Remember how that song goes
Which's now playing on the stereo
Until we share another toast
Just one night before we give it back to them
Are we naive enough to think that we can change the world?
Are we naive enough to think that we can change their minds?
Last call for redemption
Last call before we head back home
Every mile there's another absence
That leads me to not loving you
It's not crazy to believe
Music can be a sacred thing
Not just sounds and marketing
You will see!
Lets get home and make the world our own
Just one night before we give it back to them
Well take them out
Expose their sins
Do or die, us vs. them
You know well never win
Are we naive enough to think that we can change the world?
Are we naive enough to think that we can change their minds?
Last call for redemption
Last call before we head back home
She said
"remember when we would listen
To those songs of hope and redemption
And how they float through our expressions?
Id give anything to feel that way again"
Yea were naive enough to think that we can change the world
Yea were naive enough to think that we can change their minds
Are we naive enough to think that we can change the world?
Are we naive enough to think that we can change their minds
Last call for redemption
Last call before we head back home
A Loss for Words's song "Heavy Lies The Crown" is about the universal feeling of being young and naive and thinking that you can change the world around you. The lyrics talk about how the world is so full of darkness and it owns the highways. The only solace can be found in music, which can be a sacred thing that is not just about sounds and marketing. The singer wants to make the world their own, even if it's just for one night before having to give it back to the "them" – society, the world at large.
The lyrics also talk about the loss of love and how every mile on the journey is just one more absence that leads the singer to not love the person they used to love. They talk about exposing people's sins and not being able to win against "them" - the people who hold power over the world. But despite all of this, there is still hope that they can change the world and make it a better place, even if they are just naive for believing that they can.
