King
Lauren Aquilina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're alone,
You're on your own,
So what, have you gone blind,
Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours?

Glass half empty, glass half full,
Well either way you won't be going thirsty,
Count your blessings not your flaws.

You've got it all,
You lost your mind in the sound,
There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown,
You're in control,
Rid of the monsters inside your head,
Put all your faults to bed,
You can be King again.

You don't get what all this is about,
You're too wrapped up in your self-doubt,
You've got that young light, set it free.

You've got it all,
You lost your mind in the sound,
There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown,
You're in control,
Rid of the monsters inside your head,
Put all your faults to bed,
You can be King.

There's method in my madness,
There's no logic in your sadness,
You don't gain a single thing from misery,
Take it from me.

You've got it all,
You lost your mind in the sound,
There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown,
You're in control,
Rid of the monsters inside your head,
Put all your faults to bed,
You can be King.

You've got it all,
You lost your mind in the sound,
There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown,
You're in control,
Rid of the monsters inside your head,




Put all your faults to bed,
You can be King again.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "King" by Lauren Aquilina talk about self-doubt and regaining control. The first verse sets the tone by emphasizing the feeling of being alone and forgotten. The line "so what, have you gone blind" implies that one may have lost sight of what they have in their life. The second line "have you forgotten what you have and what is yours" also reinforces this idea.


However, the song shifts towards a more optimistic outlook in the chorus, encouraging the listener to count their blessings rather than focusing on their flaws. The phrase "glass half empty, glass half full," suggests that there are two ways of looking at things and to choose to see the positive side can lead to a better experience. The chorus also includes the metaphor of "reclaiming your crown" as a symbol of taking back control over oneself.


The second verse addresses the notion of being too consumed by self-doubt and not realizing the potential that one may have. It acknowledges the feeling of being lost but urges the person to let their light shine and to not be held back by their own insecurities. The bridge takes a more direct approach by stating that there is no gain in misery, and that it is better to take control and work towards a more positive mindset.


Line by Line Meaning

You're alone,
You are by yourself,


You're on your own,
You have no one to rely on,


So what, have you gone blind,
Why do you feel lost or unsure about your path,


Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours?
Did you forget about your achievements and possessions?


Glass half empty, glass half full,
Your perspective can be negative or positive,


Well either way you won't be going thirsty,
You have what you need regardless,


Count your blessings not your flaws.
Focus on what you have instead of what you lack,


You've got it all,
You have everything you need,


You lost your mind in the sound,
You became consumed by distractions,


There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown,
You still have much to offer and can regain your confidence,


You're in control,
You have power over your own life,


Rid of the monsters inside your head,
Get rid of your own self-doubts and negative thoughts,


Put all your faults to bed,
Let go of past mistakes and shortcomings,


You can be King again.
You can regain control of your life and confidence.


You don't get what all this is about,
You are confused or struggling to understand,


You're too wrapped up in your self-doubt,
You are too focused on negative self-talk,


You've got that young light, set it free.
You still have your youthful spirit and potential,


There's method in my madness,
There is reason to my seemingly crazy behavior,


There's no logic in your sadness,
Your negative emotions do not have a rational basis,


You don't gain a single thing from misery,
Being unhappy does not benefit you in any way,


Take it from me.
Trust my experience and advice,

You know? This song it's pretty optimistic, touching and heartwarming if you think about it.

"Glass half empty, half full. Either way you won't be thirsty"
You can see the world from different ways but they can go the same good path even if you don't see it

"There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown"
There's more things out there and out of your sight if you just keep thinking on the losses, so you can get back what was yours and be happy again.

"Put all your faults to bed"
If you have faults, it's your job to work to fix them

"You can be king again"
You can stand from the misery, like when you were a kid and feel in the top of the world. You can reclaim that feeling.

Listening reminds me of something I learned a long time ago. Forgiveness is a powerful force. Forgiving yourself for all the bad things you've done, understanding the tragedies that had happened to you, loving every part of your heart, and coming to terms with yourself as a human being and life in general is a powerful thing. It creates a peaceful inner world, an unwavering inner strength, and a strong mind where you can understand the hearts around you and not judge them. Most of all, your love and confidence for yourself is so much deeper. It makes you think when someone tries to put you down that you don't need to fit into their definition of worth. Because you were always worth it. In a way, when you get to this point you have regained your crown. It's how I gained mine. It just happened sooner than other people. And if it hasn't happened to you? Well, you'll get there. It just takes time. But either way...

Be proud of yourself as a person, flaws and all

Be proud of yourself as a human being

We're to unique to be trying to take other people's crowns

PS: sorry, for the weirdness of this comment but I think it needs to be said. We all have a crown. More often than not, you just haven't noticed it. I wish people would love themselves more.

"as long as i'm here, you're invincible!"

"you can fly even higher."

"who trusts anyone 100%?!"
"well, i have no choice but to trust you right now!"

"i finally had a partner instead of a friend."

"but you were only in junior high, right? you toss to me just fine. it makes no difference to me."

"you bring out the best in hinata."

"kageyama! i'm here!"

"hinata's face when he hits my toss isn't the same as when he hits your toss."

Lauren Aquilina Lyrics

"King"

You're alone, you're on your own, so what?
Have you gone blind?
Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours?
Glass half empty, glass half full
Well either way you won't be going thirsty
Count your blessings not your flaws

You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king again

You don't get what all this is about
You're too wrapped up in your self doubt
You've got that young blood, set it free

You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king

There's method in my madness
There's no logic in your sadness
You don't gain a single thing from misery
Take it from me

You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king

You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king again
