King of the Mountain
Arcangel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your hand by the button, your finger in place
Now the children are laughing, they don't really know
How close to oblivion you're ready to go
Better take a long, long time to make up your mind
A long, long time, king of the mountain, king of the mountain
If you make a wrong move, just one time, it's good-bye human race
You're the king of the mountain, and you know what you're after
But the closer you get to it the nearer disaster
So keep yourself and don't lose control
The world is no playground for body and soul
Better take a long, long time, to make up your mind
A long, long time, king of the mountain, king of the mountain
Bridge
Don't ever make that fatal mistake
'Cause billions of souls are lost if you break
In nineteen eighty four
Solo
Better take a long, long time, to make up your mind
A long, long time, a long, long time
King of the mountain are the angels at the door?
King of the mountain remember nineteen eighty four?
In Arcangel's song "King of the Mountain," the lyrics paint a picture of a powerful and dominant figure who is praised for their accomplishments and success. The "king of the mountain" refers to a person who is at the top, who is setting the pace and has control over everything. This figure holds immense power and control, and all those who look up to them give them their respect and admiration. However, despite this position of strength, the lyrics hint at a potential downfall, a fragile balance that could be easily tipped over.
The visuals in the song suggest that the "king" has his hand on a button, a trigger that could unleash oblivion with just one wrong move. Despite the children's innocent laughter and lack of understanding, the potential consequences of the king's actions are far too significant to ignore. This juxtaposition of the blissful ignorance of the children and the ominous presence of oblivion creates a haunting image that speaks to the power of individuals in positions of such great authority.
The song's chorus urges the "king" to be cautious and take their time before making any decisions that could result in catastrophe. The bridge then emphasizes the weight of responsibility, stating that breaking this fragile balance could lead to devastating consequences. The solo brings forth the vulnerability of the "king's" position, reminding them that they are no exception to the harsh reality of the world. The final question posed by the lyrics of who the true "King of the Mountain" is implies that ultimately, the angels are the true rulers of the earth, and that any human claiming to be such is merely an imposter.
