KING
Jessica & MY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I shouldn't be alive
When the Robins come
Give the one in Red Cravat
A Memorial crumb

If I couldn't thank you
Being fast asleep
You will know I'm trying
Why my Granite lip!

The Court is far away
No Umpire - have I
My Sovereign is offended
To gain his grace -- I'd die!

I'll seek his royal feet
I'll say - Remember - King




Thou shalt - thyself - one day - a Child
Implore a larger - thing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "KING" by JESSICA & MY are filled with poetic and metaphorical expressions. The song seems to be exploring themes of sacrifice, gratitude, and seeking forgiveness.


The first stanza presents the notion of being alive despite feeling undeserving. The reference to the Robins is symbolic of the arrival of spring and new beginnings. The line "Give the one in Red Cravat a Memorial crumb" implies that even if the singer feels like they don't deserve to live, they still acknowledge the small blessings that life brings.


In the second stanza, the singer expresses their inability to thank someone while being asleep, yet their desire to convey gratitude is evident. The line "Why my Granite lip!" suggests that the singer's emotions are being held back or suppressed.


The third stanza portrays a sense of distance and estrangement. The Court, the Umpire, and the Sovereign all represent figures of authority and judgment. The singer feels isolated and as if they have offended their Sovereign. The line "To gain his grace - I'd die!" implies the extent to which the singer desires forgiveness and reconciliation.


The final stanza reveals the singer's intention to approach their Sovereign humbly, seeking forgiveness and reminding the King to remember their loyalty. The phrase "Implore a larger thing" suggests that the singer is willing to sacrifice for a greater cause.


Overall, "KING" is a lyrical exploration of gratitude, sacrifice, and the desire for forgiveness. It utilizes poetic imagery to convey these complex emotions.
