For the many thousands who’ve been lucky enough to witness CROWNED KING onstage, "mayhem" is the only possible way to describe what happens when Jonny Biggs on trombone, Ryan on guitar, Adam on bass Chris on drums and vocalist Shaun throw-down. Since 2003, when the band’s sophomore album Break The Silence was first released on Aquarius Records/EMI, CROWNED KING have played over 350 shows in North America, Each show more insane than the last. In their travels, CROWNED KING has played along side The Distillers, Sum 41, Alexisonfire, Goldfinger, Papa Roach, Jimmy Eat World, Fishbone, and many more. Each CROWNED KING show inevitably pumps new meaning into the term "high energy," leaving the band members bloody and scarred and the audience frantically begging for more. "Our music is like a punch to the face," says Shaun, "Our shows are a complete spectacle. You can do pretty much whatever you want at a CROWNED KING show - and you should!"

With the release of Break The Silence, it’s obvious to anyone with ears that this is the dawn of a new era — not just for CROWNED KING, but for rock and roll itself. Few who heard the album could resist the infectious allure of songs like "Don’t Wanna Go," "One in a Million," and "A Song About Death”. The world is falling victim to CROWNED KING’S musical assault, and you're next. You have been targeted. There’s nowhere left for you to run. Get down. Get dirty. Get CROWNED KING.

Farewell
Crowned King Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I think of what you said
And it's sad but true for you, it's gone to your head
Because I'm laughing at my thought of you and your way of life
What it amounts to
You may think I'm wrong, but you'll see it's true
I'm leaving this place
There have been changes in my life with no regrets, and I'll be alright
And if you see me again, I hope that I will have changed too

Because there's more to me that you can see
And more to you than I could ever see

So give up on me
Because there's more to me than you could ever match,
You'll see

It's always hard to say good-bye
But in a case like this with not much to miss, I'll be alright
And to those who stayed right by my side,

With them I share a special pride
It's us who will unite tonight
