Kings of Leon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To a place I know that we can go
Where the hills come together
We can take it slow until you come around
There's a glow at the face of the canyon
And a sound blowing 'round
That says you're nowhere you've ever been before
Take a plunge into the Colorado River
Where you feel yourself for the very first time
I knew you'd be a friend of mine
Ooh, fire's gonna rage if people don't change
Ooh, a story so old but still so original
You drift in and out like a thunder
And force my hand to get you out of here
Somewhere we can disappear
This is love although you've never seen it
We knew in time it had to be one of us
Never felt a warmer touch
Ooh, fire's gonna rage if people don't change
Ooh, a story so old but still so original
Ooh, fire's gonna rage if people don't change
Ooh, I'm chemically inclined to say what's on my mind
Ooh, you're getting pretty close, but you've got a little ways to go
Ooh, the story so old but still so original
You really laid it on the line, line, line, line, line, line, line
Oh, hit me one more time, time, time, time, time, time, time
You really laid it on the line, line, line, line, line, line, line
Oh baby hit me one more time, time, time, time, time, time, time
The lyrics to Kings of Leon's song "Claire & Eddie" tell the story of two siblings seeking solace and adventure away from their troubles. The opening lines invite Claire to take a ride with her brother and head to a special place, where the hills converge and beckon you to slow down and enjoy the view. They are poised to embark on a journey that will bring Claire to "nowhere you've ever been before."
The Colorado River represents a thrilling opportunity for Claire to dive in and "feel herself for the very first time." Her brother welcomes her innate sense of adventure, recognizing a kindred spirit in her. Although they have never experienced love, they share a deep bond that brings them closer than any other relationship could. The chorus echoes a warning of impending reckoning - a fire that will rage if people don't change - in a story both old and original. As the song progresses, Claire's brother tries to protect her from harmful experiences, claiming that their escape will allow them to "disappear."
The repeating line of "You really laid it on the line" could refer to the trust and vulnerability siblings often share with one another, as well as the danger their journey may entail. Ultimately, the lyrics to "Claire & Eddie" offer a poignant exploration of the ties that bind siblings and highlight the power of shared experiences in forging strong relationships.
