Mind of a King
Blaque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was sitting on my throne
Rapping on how no one else knows
We're not really into each other
We were forced into being lovers
Down to Earth, we maintain
In this whole ordeal that's fame
Wonderin' what you're thinkin' next
Once again I escape to where you are
And find a place down in your heart
It's a shame that this whole game
Has got me goin' insane
So let's go deep
1 - Deep into the minds (of a king)
And who once was in love
Tryin' to hide behind me, oh
Let's go far, farther than a dream
If you told her once that you loved her
Then don't come back to me
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da, heh heh
[Natina]
Possibly I know the girl
You want to capture in your world
If I could I woulda jumped into her body
Picture it and I can't stop smiling
Trust me now, I don't want to
Be here if I'm just preview
I'm supposed to be your everything
And you're supposed to be that for me
So let's go deep
Repeat 1
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Repeat 1
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Deep, deep into the minds
Far, farther than a dream

She talks about going to the deepest corners of his heart, marked with complexity. She finds solace in her lover's company, but at the same time, the game of fame is driving her insane. The chorus talks about going deep into the minds of a king who once was in love and trying to hide behind her. The second verse talks about Natina knowing the girl who her lover wants to capture in his world, but she doesn't want to be just a preview. She wants to be his everything and wants him to be that for her too, going forever deep into each other's minds and farther than any dream.
