Kings and Queens
Letters Burning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know it's almost midnight our time is running out
We know what can happen this spell is almost over
We know what can happen in this fairytale.
You were queen and I was king with a happy ending
Let's make believe let's make believe it's not a dream.
I just want to release you and save you from this curse
You lye asleep in your glass coffin waiting for someone
Just one kiss from my lips to wake you up.
You were queen and I was king with a happy ending
Let's make believe let's make believe it's not a dream.
This story and it's pages as we enter different stages
I fly away without you and go on to different chapters
The above lyrics are from the song "Kings And Queens" by Letters Burning. The song talks about a fairytale-esque love story where the singer and their lover were once the king and queen. However, the spell is almost over, and the singer wants to save their lover from this curse. They want to release them from the glass coffin in which they are lying asleep, waiting for someone to wake them up with a kiss. The singer hopes that they can make believe that this is not a dream and that they can live happily ever after.
The lyrics portray the desire to leave behind childlike fantasies and face reality, as time is running out. The singer wants to change the course of their fairytale and save their lover from the curse that has been put on them. The ending of the song is bittersweet, as the singer realizes that they have to move on and go on to different chapters in their life, without their lover.
Overall, the song's interpretation highlights themes of love, loss, and the desire to escape from the constraints of fantastical love stories.
