King of Anything
Alex Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of how things may have been if I’ve never fallen in.
Release me, release me, release me now.
‘cause I tried, tried too many times,
This time I say goodbye, my queen, I don’t wanna be the king of anything.
Yeah, I lie, but you can’t say you try like me
What happened to us?
Can’t get back the way it was
Always have you suddenly,
Please, can you take some of this weight that you put on me?
Release me, release me, free me now.
If you ever loved me, let me go.
‘cause I tried, tried too many times,
This time I say goodbye, my queen,
I don’t wanna be the king of anything.
Yeah, I lie, but you can’t say you try like me
See, I don’t wanna be the king of anything.
I’m taking this crown off my head,
I’m through with keeping the castle away.
Who could ever fit in your new world alone always?
I see you in my dreams, nothing but a memory.
Yeah, I tried, tried too many times,
This time I say goodbye, my queen,
I don’t wanna be the king of anything.
Yeah, I lie, but you can’t say you try Like me.
See, I don’t wanna be the king of anything.
I don’t wanna be the king of anything.
I don’t wanna be the king of anything
I don’t wanna be the king of anything
The lyrics of "King of Anything" by Alex Band appear to be about a relationship that ended badly. The singer seems to be lamenting the fact that he cannot get back the way things were with his former partner. He remembers the good times they shared together but realizes that he cannot continue to hold onto the past. He wants to be released from the heartache and pain caused by the broken relationship. He no longer wants to hold onto the title of the "king" of anything, rather, he wants to let go of everything and move on with his life.
Despite the singer's efforts to make things right with the relationship, it appears that the former lover is not trying as hard as him to keep things together. The singer acknowledges that he has lied in the past but believes that his efforts have surpassed those of his partner. He is tired of trying too many times and decides that it is time to say goodbye. The lyrics suggest that he is ready to take off the crown and move on with his life.
