Having played as far north as Towoomba and as far south as Lismore, Kings At Heart are slowly but surely building a solid fan base and gaining recognition as one of the predominant local hardcore bands on Queensland’s south-east coast. This recognition not only comes for their fans but also from various music magazines, promoters, international bands and producers.
Over the years, King At Heart has had the pleasure of working with such musicians as Darren Budd (The Lane Cove), Mitch Rodger (Hand Of The Architect), Luka Palinich (Arcanine), Liam Pook (Open Sea) and Sam Webb (The Ottomans).

Kings At Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm learning to be a better man
Start breathing, but pain, will come again
And I'll try to live again, With your scent on my neck
I feel your heart when you're touching me
The scars always reminding me
That this hope will only go so far Have you seen my dream, every time I fall Like a heart being torn at the seams Have you ever felt this way before
I'm tired of heartache and all the pain I've caused
And I can't love anyone until I learn to love myself
How can i feel this way When your heart still feels the same (the same) I'm fragile and in pain Watch me waste away (waste away)
I'm broken inside
My worlds in stiches, for the meantime At the moment it's the way I feel Life fades as I start to heal Can I hear your voice, can I say your name I'm in trenches that I can't escape It's just the way I am
My heart flashes to the room And it begins to race
How can I feel this way
When your heart still feels the same (the same) I'm fragile and in pain
Watch me waste away (waste away)
I'm scared of dying And im tired of lying For the first time in my life I am finally trying
And it's gotten to the point Where I don't know who I am anymore Or if there's anyway to change, what I've become
And I am so sorry, I am sorry for the dark cloud I have cast over you
For the first time in my life I swear I'm trying For the first time in my life I am finally flying
And I want to stop this tragedy This depression, this pain The heartache that we feel every single day And you know what it's like to be down and done But I won't take it anymore
I'm finally trying I'm finally flying I'm finally trying I'm finally flying

My past mistakes continue to weigh on me
That this hope will only go so far
My optimism has limits
Have you seen my dream, every time I fall
I keep chasing after a dream that seems out of reach
Like a heart being torn at the seams
The pursuit of my dream is causing me emotional pain
Have you ever felt this way before
Do you know what it's like to be in my shoes?
I'm tired of heartache and all the pain I've caused
I'm exhausted from the pain I've been through and caused others
And I can't love anyone until I learn to love myself
I need to work on self-love before I can love others
How can i feel this way
Why do I still feel this pain?
When your heart still feels the same (the same)
When your feelings for me have not changed
I'm fragile and in pain
I am vulnerable and hurting
Watch me waste away (waste away)
See me slowly deteriorate
I'm broken inside
Emotionally, I am shattered
My worlds in stiches, for the meantime
My life is in chaos for now
At the moment it's the way I feel
This is how I currently feel
Life fades as I start to heal
The pain lessens as I begin to recover
Can I hear your voice, can I say your name
I yearn for your presence
I'm in trenches that I can't escape
I'm stuck in a difficult situation
It's just the way I am
I can't change who I am
My heart flashes to the room
I remember a specific moment in time
And it begins to race
My heart starts beating faster
I'm scared of dying
I'm afraid of death
And im tired of lying
I'm tired of being dishonest
For the first time in my life I am finally trying
I am making an effort for the first time in my life
And I want to stop this tragedy
I want to end the pain and sorrow in my life
This depression, this pain
The emotional suffering I am experiencing
The heartache that we feel every single day
The constant emotional pain we both feel
And you know what it's like to be down and done
You understand what it's like to feel hopeless
But I won't take it anymore
I'm not going to let my circumstances defeat me
I'm finally trying
Finally putting in effort
I'm finally flying
I'm finally feeling free
I'm finally trying
Making an effort
I'm finally flying
I'm finally feeling liberated

@h0pesfall
Why do you miss melodic hardcore? It still exists?!
@jessejay5587
Screams have so much more feel/pain than singing imo.
@kucikaz
that's why I appreciate this genre...
@BlackassTVcomedy
Henri yes and no. acoustic emo and ect. hits your heart all the same. cleans vocals can do the same. it all depends on the persons relativity to the lyrics.
@91cannibal
Sometimes. The wonder years cigarettes and saints hits pretty hard
@basspoell4933
Bullshit. It's a personal feeling no matter what type of expressions used. One expresses through screaming and one does through singing and other do by punching into a wall.
@etelbik4703
Of course, a single verse of screaming emphasizes how much pain and emotion are put into that one line.

Listening to Melodic Hardcore:
- Lay down
- Try not to cry
- CRY A LOT
