Pulling together the biblical sound and isolation of the bygone days of revelation with an atmosphere filled with hope and salvation, King Dude has woven his own brand of American music. He brandishes many varied influences in his songwriting. Everything from British Folk, Americana, Country and Blues can be heard in his songs. Even the heavier sounds of Heavy Metal tend to sneak and slither it's way into the King Dude canon. The resulting songs are much more of a modern day hymn then average pop song.
Born In Blood
King Dude Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make a difference cause you know our thoughts and hours
Born in blood
I will know, come away, take my brain
I don't mind, I believe it's all the same
Since I was born in blood.
Born, born, born, born in blood, child
Born, born, born, born in blood, child
I was born in the end day
My mother was dead still, my father was dead
Probably cause what they had couldn't be read
Yeah, I was BORN IN BLOOD
Speaking of the DEVIL, speak of me
It's all the same, another T by T
Cause I was born in blood
Born, born, born, born in blood, child
Born, born, born, born in blood
Born, born, born, born in blood, child
I was born in the end day
Born, born, born, born in blood, child
I was born, born, born, born in blood
Born, born, born, born in blood, child
I was born in blood, blood, blood.
The song 'Born in Blood' by King Dude is a haunting and mystical ode to life and death. The opening lines, "With the same high throne turn my blood in wine, make a difference cause you know our thoughts and hours" suggest a sense of religious ritual and sacrifice. The idea of turning blood into wine, which is reminiscent of the Christian belief in transubstantiation, hints at a worshipful reverence for a higher power.
The chorus, "Born, born, born, born in blood" is a repetition that underscores the idea of being born into this world through the pain and sacrifice of childbirth. However, the lyrics then take a dark turn with the lines, "My mother was dead still, my father was dead, probably cause what they had couldn't be read" which hints at a sense of tragedy or turmoil.
The line "Speaking of the devil, speak of me" also offers an intriguing twist, as it suggests that the singer is aligned with the devil or evil forces. This idea of being somehow different or apart from the norm is reinforced by the final line, "I was born in blood, blood, blood," which speaks to a sense of otherness or mystical power.
Overall, 'Born in Blood' is a song that delves into themes of sacrifice, rebirth, and the inherent mystery of life and death. With its haunting melodies and evocative lyrics, it serves as a testament to the power of music to capture the deepest and most profound aspects of the human experience.

King Dude needs more recognition. I guess folky music with lyrics about Lucifer sung in super baritone just doesn't have the same traction it used to.

And right before the song, they play a Mountain Dew ad... Could any juxtaposition be less appropriate?
