There are two King Cobras:
1) The history of KING COBRA really starts at their beginning as McCarthy. Forming only a few years ago out of the momentum of their previous bands, McCarthy showcased great talent in every inch of their music. Their debut EP was written with most members still in high school and it quickly received praise in both the Ontario and Quebec music scenes. Their southern rock like style was widely accepted and generated a lot of positive attention for them. As the years went by and the band grew as musicians, a change needed to be made in order for them to reach their full potential. Their new music was unique and reflected a new life. A decision was made to retire McCarthy and its songs to pave a way for a new generation. The response was massive. With final shows reaching capacity and endless amounts of e-mails inquiring about their future, this fueled them to make sure they come back stronger than ever.
On December 6th 2009, an official release was made informing all the fans that they were back in the studio. The word travelled fast and the response was of pure excitement. That day KING COBRA was born. KING COBRA reflects a new style that takes their entire musical influence and puts it into one mind blowing sound. They have invested everything they have into KING COBRA. Time, money, blood and sweat are just some of the things that they put into this and they wouldn’t have it any other way. The members of KING COBRA have worked hard to make an impact on today’s music scene and now they are ready to take 2010 by storm. With fast riffs, catchy choruses, heavy tones and their fusion of rock with hardcore; there is now something in it for everyone. It is now time for them to start their climb to greater heights. Get ready because “something’s fucKING coming”.
2)King Cobra is the gothic/alt metal project of Josh Saunders, which mixes techno, goth, hip hop, and metal in an original mixture. He has released albums under this name since 2010, most can be found through Deathbed Tapes bandcamp or Youtube.
Second Time Around
King Cobra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But through the smoke filtered light
I saw the tears in your eyes
You knew our love was on the line
It was the second time
That this fool believed your lies
You'll never change
You threw it all away
What are you looking for
When you're walking out that door
I hope it can be found
Maybe you'll find love the second time around
Our love was my mistake
I knew that it would take
So much more than i could give
I hope we can be friends
'Cause i know that in the end
It's how you and i were meant to live
But i hope you change
So when you find a good thing girl
You won't throw it all away
What are you looking for
When you're walking out that door
I hope it can be found
Maybe you'll find love the second time around
The lyrics to King Cobra's song Second Time Around describe a scene in a dark bar where the singer sees his former lover with tears in her eyes. He realizes that their love is on the line for the second time, and he acknowledges that he was a fool to believe her lies before. Despite their past mistakes, he hopes that they can still be friends in the end.
The singer seems to have come to terms with the fact that their first attempt at love was a mistake. He recognizes that he couldn't give their relationship everything it needed to survive. He hopes that his former lover will change and not make the same mistake again the next time she finds a good thing. He wishes her well and hopes that she will find love the second time around.
The song's message is one of second chances and growth. It recognizes the pain and mistakes of the past but embraces the hope for a brighter future. The lyrics, coupled with the rock-infused melody, make for a powerful ballad that speaks to both heartbreak and the resilience of the human spirit.
Line by Line Meaning
The bar was dark that night
The atmosphere of the bar was dimly illuminated
But through the smoke filtered light
The limited light was made hazy by the smoke filling the air
I saw the tears in your eyes
I noticed that you were crying
You knew our love was on the line
You understood that our relationship was in jeopardy
It was the second time
This was not the first occasion that this had happened
That this fool believed your lies
I, the foolish one, chose to believe your untruthfulness once again
You'll never change
I have come to the realization that you cannot alter your ways
You had a good thing girl but
You previously possessed a wonderful relationship
You threw it all away
You destroyed it all despite its worth
What are you looking for
What is your intended pursuit?
When you're walking out that door
When you have decided to depart from my presence
I hope it can be found
I wish that you can discover whatever it is that you are seeking
Maybe you'll find love the second time around
Perhaps you will locate love on the second occasion of experiencing a relationship
Our love was my mistake
I realized that our relationship was not meant to be
I knew that it would take
I recognized that it would require a great deal of effort
So much more than i could give
More than I was capable of providing
I hope we can be friends
I intent to remain cordial despite the circumstances
'Cause i know that in the end
Because I am confident that in the future
It's how you and i were meant to live
This is how you and I are supposed to exist
But i hope you change
Nevertheless, I desire that you will alter your ways
So when you find a good thing girl
Once you discover another wonderful relationship
You won't throw it all away
I hope that you will not ruin it as you previously did
