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

@@squooglesqoo8633 If he felt like a "real American," having a copy of the 2nd Amendment would be pointless, since a "real American" wouldn't read it. That "well-regulated militia" part can be pretty pesky, if you have five honest Justices on the Supreme Court (which we do not currently have).
