King
Edu Falaschi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of the evolution times
You lose all
Lose your reputation
for the glory
Controlled by the force
of alienation you say...
I'm the king
From my own war
I get the pain
Live to be the best,oh!
Best of what?
You don't realize but you are lost
You are nothing but a puppet
And the greed will burn you first
You can say...
I'm the king
I'm the king
Your self-control
Has disappeared
When you build around yourself
Golden walls it seems
Like your shell
But watch your acts
be prepared when
Fall your mask
You're the one
You're the mith
You are the ocean
You shape shift
And for the thirst
For the pain
When all is over
Wound by wound
Trick by trick
You'll see
You'll pay
For all the dakness living
In your soul
For all the freedom you have
Been stolen
From my mind you
Feed your lamb
With my growth
This way you can say
I'm the king
I'm the king
From my own war
I get the pain
When you build around yourself
Golden walls it seems
like your shell
But watch your acts
be prepared when
Fall your mask
You're the one
You're the mith
You are the ocean
You shape shift
And for the thirst
For the pain
When all is over
Wound by wound
Trick by trick
You'll see
You'll pay
So said the bishop
"Once
I was not insane
I could dream away
And I crossed the sky"
Don't
Be a shallow man
Give another chance
To increase your life
"Now
I can't see my deep inside
Tell me who I am
I can't pay this price"
I'm the king
I'm the king
On my own
I live my misery
When you build around yourself
Golden walls it seems
like your shell
But watch your acts
be prepared when
Fall your mask
You're the one
You're the mith
You are the ocean
You shape shift
And for the thirst
For the pain
When all is over
Wound by wound
Trick by trick
You'll see
You'll pay
You'll see
You'll pay
Forget your prayer
The song "King" by Edu Falaschi talks about the consequences of greed and the delusions of power. The opening lines are about losing everything, reputation, glory, and self-control, in the face of the fast-moving times of evolution. The character in the song has built golden walls around themselves, and they believe this is their shell. But they're mistaken, and their acts will catch up with them. The song speaks about the consequences of living a life of darkness and how this can weigh on one's soul.
The chorus of the song repeatedly asserts, "I'm the king" and this ironically highlights the fallacy of the character's thoughts. They believe that they're in control, yet they're lost and nothing but a puppet, controlled by the force of alienation. They would learn that their self-control had disappeared, and this would lead them to live in misery.
The bishop's words also warn the listener about the dangers of ambition and the cost of it. The bishop speaks about how he could see his deep inside and dream away, but he defied this and chased power instead. He urges the listeners to not be a shallow man and give themselves another chance to increase their life before it's too late.
Line by Line Meaning
Drowned by the fury
Overwhelmed by the anger and violence of the world
Of the evolution times
In a period of rapid change and development
You lose all
You lose everything
Lose your reputation
Your good name and character are destroyed
for the glory
For the sake of gaining power and attention
Controlled by the force
Manipulated by external pressures
of alienation you say...
You claim to be isolated and disconnected from society
I'm the king
I am in control
From my own war
I am fighting my own battles
I get the pain
I am suffering the consequences of my actions
Live to be the best,oh!
You strive for greatness above all else
Best of what?
You question what defines true greatness
You don't realize but you are lost
You are unaware of your own confusion and aimlessness
You are nothing but a puppet
You are controlled by external forces
And the greed will burn you first
Your own selfishness will lead to your downfall
Your self-control
Your ability to regulate your behavior
Has disappeared
It is no longer present
When you build around yourself
When you construct a facade or persona
Golden walls it seems
An appearance of luxury and protection
Like your shell
A disguise to hide your true self
But watch your acts
Be careful of your actions
be prepared when
Get ready when
Fall your mask
When your true identity is revealed
You're the one
You are the cause
You're the myth
A false idea or belief about yourself
You are the ocean
You are a vast and complex entity
You shape shift
You constantly change and adapt
And for the thirst
And for the insatiable desire
For the pain
For the suffering and hardship
When all is over
When everything comes to an end
Wound by wound
Suffering after suffering
Trick by trick
Deception after deception
You'll see
You will realize
You'll pay
You will suffer the consequences
So said the bishop
The bishop said
"Once
At one point in time
I was not insane
I was mentally stable
I could dream away
I could imagine and escape reality
And I crossed the sky"
I had great aspirations
Don't
Do not
Be a shallow man
Do not be superficial
Give another chance
Give yourself an opportunity
To increase your life
To improve your existence
"Now
Currently
I can't see my deep inside
I am unaware of my true self
Tell me who I am
Help me understand my identity
I can't pay this price"
I cannot bear the burden of my actions
On my own
By myself
I live my misery
I am consumed by my suffering
You'll see
You will perceive
You'll pay
You will suffer the consequences
Forget your prayer
Do not rely on divine intervention
