Guns and Girls
Kingdom of Giants Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This source of pain is all that's left of you.
This misery is all because of you.
End this life
Not that you would care.
Take these dreams
Watch your fucking step.
I won't be walked upon,
Watch your step and I'll watch mine
'Til the day we take our own paths.

Held down by these things you've created,
They pierce the flesh and poison the mind.
Poison the mind!

Pray now for the life that you think that you deserve.
There is more to life than living with regret.
Life is a gift.

You held the syndicate but gave into lies.
Forget the times I spent captured by your eyes,
I cannot believe I wasted my time.
Forget the lies, the pain is all in your mind.
I let this go.
Your turn to fucking move on.
Forget the lies, the pain is all in your mind.
Now let this go home.

And I'm still working on the fact
That this is just a symptom and I'm going through phases.
When this world fades to black like all the universe is now
I'll be calling your name.
And if your heart should judge me for the little work I've done,
Where will you go?

There is more to life than living with regret.
Life is a gift.
Life is a gift.
Even with all of these flaws, promise not to change.

I'm still working on the fact that this is just a symptom and I'm going through phases.
But when your heart should judge me for what little work I've done,
Where will you go?
You've been holding on forever and I just don't understand
Everything that I remember, I will soon enough forget
And what did you teach me?




To never miss a note, no, no, no, no,
Where did you go?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kingdom of Giants's song "Guns and Girls" appears to be a reflection of a relationship gone sour. The singer seems to be addressing a former partner who caused them pain and misery. The first few lines convey the depth of the hurt caused by this person and the fact that they are the source of it. The next few lines are a call to end this person's life, with the singer believing they would not care about doing so. They then warn this person to watch their step while also keeping an eye on their own journey.


The second stanza uses strong imagery to describe the effect the things created by this person have had on the singer's mind and body. The line "Poison the mind!" is particularly powerful and suggests that the singer believes this person's influence has been harmful. The following section reveals the singer's desire to move on and live their life without the pain and lies of the past. However, they express their struggle with forgetting everything they have been through together and the fear of being left alone after all this time.


Overall, the lyrics of "Guns and Girls" present a complex and emotional exploration of a toxic relationship. It depicts the pain caused by a lover who once held such a powerful grip over the singer's life but who is now nothing more than a source of agony. The lyrics urge for the importance of moving on and living without regret, while also acknowledging the difficulty of doing so.
