King for A Day
Christina Rotondo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I bet you never had a Friday night like this
Keep it up, keep it up, let's raise our hands
I take a look up at the sky and I see red
Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy
Red for the drink that's mixed with suicide
Everything red.
Please, won't you push me for the last time
So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore
The thought of you's no fucking fun
You want a martyr, I'll be one
Because enough's enough, we're done.
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
The thing I think I love
Will surely bring me pain
Intoxication, paranoia, and a lot of fame
Three cheers for throwing up
Pubescent drama queen
You make me sick, I make it worse by drinking late
Scream until there's nothing left
So sick of playing, I don't want to anymore
The thought of you's no fucking fun
You want a martyr I'll be one
Because enough's enough, we're done
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
And if the bass shakes the earth underground
We'll start a new revolution now
(Now! Alright here we go)
Hail Mary, forgive me
Blood for blood, hearts beating
Come at me, now this is war!
Fuck with this new beat
Oh!
Now terror begins inside a bloodless vein
I was just a product of the street youth rage
Born in this world without a voice or say
Caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain
I know you well but this ain't a game
Blow the smoke in diamond shape
Dying is a gift so close your eyes and rest in peace
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor.
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
We are the shadows screaming take us now
We'd rather die than live to rust on the ground
Shit
The lyrics to Christina Rotondo's song "King For a Day" are raw and intense, expressing a sense of frustration and desperation in the face of unfulfilled desires and painful experiences. The opening line, "Dare me to jump off of this Jersey bridge?" sets an ominous tone, suggesting a reckless willingness to take risks and face the consequences. The singer then goes on to describe a vivid scene of rebellion and catharsis, celebrating the power of music and shared experience to provide temporary relief from the pressures of daily life.
The repeated refrain, "Scream until there's nothing left," captures the sense of release and liberation that comes from letting go of emotional baggage and expressing oneself freely. The verses include references to addiction, self-destructive behavior, and societal inequality, painting a bleak picture of a world where pain and suffering are all too common. Yet there is also a glimmer of hope in the final lines, which evoke a vision of a better future where the ghosts of the past no longer haunt us and we can live as kings and queens in our own right.
Overall, "King For a Day" is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of music and the importance of expressing ourselves honestly and authentically, even in the darkest of moments.
Line by Line Meaning
Dare me to jump off of this Jersey bridge?
Do you want to see how far I'm willing to go?
I bet you never had a Friday night like this
I doubt you've ever experienced a night like this
Keep it up, Keep it up, let's raise our hands
Keep going, let's celebrate
I take a look up at the sky and I see red
I see danger or warning signs
Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy
Red is a symbol of pain and suffering for the ill and the rich
Red for the drink that's mixed with suicide
Red is the color of a deadly cocktail
Everything red.
All seems to be dangerous or deadly
Please, won't you push me for the last time
Can you finally force me to make a change?
Let's scream until there's nothing left
Let's yell until we can't anymore
So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore
I'm tired of pretending, I want something real
The thought of you's no fucking fun
Thinking about you isn't enjoyable
You want a martyr, I'll be one
You desire a sacrifice, I will be it
Because enough's enough, we're done.
I've reached my limit, it's over.
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I don't want to experience anything anymore.
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm exhausted of asking for what I desire
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
I'm done with living like an animal
The thing I think I love
What I thought was love
Will surely bring me pain
Will eventually hurt me
Intoxication, paranoia, and a lot of fame
Being famous and lost in excess can lead to negative consequences
Three cheers for throwing up
Celebrating unhealthy habits and addiction
Pubescent drama queen
Characterizing oneself as a melodramatic adolescent
You make me sick, I make it worse by drinking late
You disgust me, and I exacerbate the situation by drinking
Imagine living like a king someday
Envisioning a life of luxury and power
A single night without a ghost in the walls
A peaceful, calm evening without any lingering problems
And if the bass shakes the earth underground
If loud music creates chaos or changes everything
We'll start a new revolution now
We will create change and shake up the status quo
(Now! Alright here we go)
Let's do it!
Hail Mary, forgive me
Asking for forgiveness or help from a higher power
Blood for blood, hearts beating
A violent, aggressive mindset
Come at me, now this is war!
Let's fight this out
Now terror begins inside a bloodless vein
A feeling of fear begins even when there is no physical harm
I was just a product of the street youth rage
I was a result of a tough environment and rough upbringing
Born in this world without a voice or say
Growing up powerless and unheard
Caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain
Trapped and neglected, feeling lost mentally
I know you well but this ain't a game
I'm familiar with these bad situations, but they are real problems
Blow the smoke in diamond shape
Creating and celebrating something beautiful out of unhealthy habits
Dying is a gift so close your eyes and rest in peace
Death is seen as a release from pain and suffering
We are the shadows screaming take us now
We are desperate to be seen, heard and helped
We'd rather die than live to rust on the ground
We would rather do something dangerous than let ourselves decay
Shit
A profanity, possibly used for emphasis or frustration

I had to re-upload this! Super sorry! There was an audio issue which I didn't catch. I've had this instrumental track (you can find the link in my description) for the LONGEST time. Here is your 2022 version!

Beautiful beautiful work! Thank you for this! <3
