King Of Amarillo
Issues Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It just seems like another fake scene
With no real message and a ton of fake things
And I feel it inside that I live for my team
My team is my fans and I got a purpose to serve them
With songs about having fun and getting real
But I also write about being real, so they feel
Like somebody's listening and somebody cares
So listen when I say

And I can't wait to say whatever, and I can't wait to shed some light
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life
And I can't wait to be whoever, and I can't wait to speak my mind
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life

And I had a vision so livid
Dipped into a coma after selfish incisions
Cutting into my ego
Deep into my dreams, oh
Forgot the struggle, thought we were too hot
To work for something, change a couple lives
Stop thinking about the pace,
Try to focus on the climb
Re-written to open your eyes and shed some light
On us, not anyone else
So get the drama out your mind

And I can't wait to say whatever, and I can't wait to shed some light
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life
And I can't wait to be whoever, and I can't wait to speak my mind
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life

If they let you into heaven then I'd rather go to hell
You think you're buying your way to the top with all that bullshit that you sell
God's not naive like the fans you deceive. Even the devil was an angel what the fuck did he achieve?

How about you listen to your soul and forget fame
You could still have a fucking name
I took it too far
I know the truth hurts, but if you're scared
Bitch, go to church

And I can't wait to say whatever, and I can't wait to shed some light
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life




And I can't wait to be whoever, and I can't wait to speak my mind
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life

I am surprised people don't like the little R&B parts in their songs! It really brings something fresh to this genre and ALWAYS leads to some sick breakdowns.

Michael Jordan

that wasnt really R&B More Hiphop/rap sounded very boring tbh lol not meant to be there

BrianG

Michael JordanΒ lol what do you mean it's not meant to be there?Β 

Michael Jordan

i mean it doesnt sound like it should be there doesnt really go with the song just seems out of place post-hardcore and R&B/Rap dont really mix well

Demetri950

Michael JordanΒ You sir are confused about this band then. Tyler Carter's voice is like an angel, and he puts the breakdowns together with his singing.

Amanda Bohn
