Coward
Kilter feat. Ngaiire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is glitter, there is gold
There is dancin' in the room
In the room
There are people who don't know
There are lovers in the glow
In the glow
Spinning around beneath those disco lights
Meet ya there collect ya thoughts
Left-footed, right-foot, ah
Ya can't get out
You wanna shout
We buried it deep
We buried it low
With the kings and those great men
And women who made them stray
Deep down with all them treasures
Never to be found oh how we
Buried it deep within
Spinin' around beneath those disco lights
Meets ya there collect ya your thoughts
Left-footed, right foot, ah
Ya can't get out
You wanna shout
Coward man up go on
Run away the truth will always run ya
So stare, show me what's in your hand
Coward just man up, go on
Run away the truth will always outrun ya
So stare, show me what' in your hand
Coward just man up, go on
Run away the truth will always outrun ya
So stare, show me what's in your hand
Coward just man up, go on
Run away the truth will always outrun ya




So scared show me what's in your hand
Hand

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kilter feat. Ngaiire's song Coward depict a scene of a glittery and golden party room where people are dancing to the beat of the disco lights. However, beneath this shiny surface lies something much deeper and darker. The first two stanzas describe the superficial beauty of the party while the third stanza reveals the hidden truth that is buried deep down within. The chorus urges the coward to man up and face the truth instead of running away from it. The truth always has a way of catching up, and it's better to confront it than to hide from it forever.


The song's message is a call to action for people who are afraid to face their demons and confront their issues. It encourages them to face their fears and embrace their vulnerability instead of running away from it. The song's verses and chorus are crafted in a way that blends desperation and hope, which are common emotions that people who are struggling with personal issues feel. The lyrics suggest that there's an opportunity to confront your fears and embrace your flaws, but it won't be easy.
