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.
Getting There
Crowned King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About the future and where I want to be
Down the road from now I've got my dreams
But they could all come crashing down
And I think that several years from now
I'll have decisions to make and I don't know how
I'm going to make them but I'll try
To make a difference before I die
We all have dreams
And in my heart
I hope my are granted
With a head start
If I had my way I'd travel the world
I'm be free without a care
I guess I'll see you when I get there
I see a man in shabby clothes
A cardboard box is his only home
I tend to wonder of his dreams
Where did they go wrong, now on his knees
He prays to a god that failed him
It's getting dark, the candle dim
And I leave him with no response
I hope I'll never be this lost
The lyrics to Crowned King's song "Getting There" explore the concept of making decisions and pursuing dreams. The singer starts by musing on the future and the potential for dreams to fail. There is uncertainty, but a willingness to try to make a difference regardless. The chorus speaks to the universality of having hopes and dreams, and the desire for a "head start" in achieving them. The second verse takes a darker turn, as the singer observes a homeless man praying to a god that has not helped him. The lack of response from the singer suggests a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness in the face of such hardship.
Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes I think philosophy
Occasionally, I contemplate the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence
About the future and where I want to be
I ponder about what is yet to come and where I aspire to be in due course
Down the road from now I've got my dreams
In the future, I have things that I ardently desire to accomplish
But they could all come crashing down
However, there is a possibility that all my aspirations may fail spectacularly
And I think that several years from now
Furthermore, I speculate that in some years to come
I'll have decisions to make and I don't know how
I will encounter choices to make, yet I remain uncertain of how to face them
I'm going to make them but I'll try
Nonetheless, I will attempt to weigh the options and decide
To make a difference before I die
Consequently, my ambition is to make an impact before my demise
We all have dreams
Every person has aspirations
And in my heart
According to my deepest feelings
I hope my are granted
I desire for mine to be realized
With a head start
To have a favorable advantage from the beginning
If I had my way I'd travel the world
In an ideal situation, I would explore the globe
I'm be free without a care
I would be unencumbered and without any anxiety
I guess I'll see you when I get there
Thus, I look forward to conversing with you when I arrive
I see a man in shabby clothes
I observe a male individual in ragged attire
A cardboard box is his only home
He resides in a box constructed of cardboard as his only dwelling
I tend to wonder of his dreams
I contemplate what his aspirations might be
Where did they go wrong, now on his knees
How did they fail to materialize, and why is he in this predicament now?
He prays to a god that failed him
He invokes the deity he believes in, but feels that it let him down
It's getting dark, the candle dim
The surroundings are becoming dim due to the fading light and flickering flame
And I leave him with no response
I depart without providing any reply
I hope I'll never be this lost
I aspire to never be in such a perplexing state

Can we give a shout out to Princess Bea? She curtsied so low for her uncle that she disappeared. Zara also held up the side.
@juliehurst3846
Princess bea with Andrew who is a disgrace as a father say no more.

@@juliehurst3846 We can’t choose our parents. Andrew’s children are unfortunately tainted by association with two parents who are unscrupulous and embarrassments to the Firm. I have my reservations about Eugenie, who seems to have inherited the “Spare” curse of discontent with her lot in life. But Beatrice keeps herself out of the fray and has always been respectful to the Crown. The late Queen recognized this and gave Beatrice special favor at her wedding. I’m sure if you were in Bea’s place you’d want to be judged on your own merits and not the mistakes of your parents, wouldn’t you? I don’t think there’s any call to be ugly towards Beatrice. She is not responsible for what her father has done.
@juliehurst3846
@marywenzel3199 true... the same can be said for Harry and Megan then
@marywenzel3199
@@juliehurst3846 Right…adults are ultimately responsible for their own behavior though. And both H and M have a lot to answer for. Charles had an affair and Diana died. Sad. But H has been permitted to use the death of Mummy as an excuse for doing nothing with his life except make everyone who knows him miserable. His wife meets all the markers for being a narcissistic sociopath. Her parents contributed to that I’m sure… but at what point do adult children assume responsibility for the poor choices they make? As much as parents can fail us, not everything is their fault.
@fredrika27
@@marywenzel3199Please tell me how Eugenie is showing signs of discontent? How about you express yourself better? You're upset that Eugenie got an A1 wedding, but Beatrice because of the pandemic hasn't. Bea didn't complain nor did Eugenie rub it in her face. Then for good measure, you want Eugenie to NOT talk to Harry and uphold some archaic rule to shun the Sussexes so you along with others can enjoy the Schadenfreude FORGETTING that Charles DENIED these two blood princesses their birthright of receiving a the Sovereign Grant! Tell me! Why should either woman be loyal to the crown or show reverence to the public when both sides are talking trash about them like their very existence is garbage? You're wrong on so many levels! If one thing Eugenie has shown the world how to actually treat relatives by being decent to the Sussexes. You can never call her a coward nor say she has no principles! But you be you boo and continued to berate these two women who ha e done nothing to deserve your scorn or the public's wrath!

Princess Catherine is always respectful that’s why she is loved by so many around her.
@british_royal_radio
She is indeed respectful and she 100% knows what to do and how to do in her place. Definitely an amazing future queen
@jennyeagan1840
Classy Catherine pulling a triple...mom watching her young kids, includes the toddler, singing and getting that curtsey all in on a timely and most respectful manner.
@ElaAusDemTal
What toddler?
