King City
Majid Jordan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dressed up, red Corvette
In the middle of the night
Word is out, lay low
It's just a matter of time
More room for the woman
Gotta hold on tight
Bright lights, King City
I gotta say goodbye to you
You're so damn special
But you, you're driving me wild

King City
You're driving me wild
King City

One way, driving in the middle of the night
Speeding, demon, chasing light
Found me a lady that'll hold on tight
Bright lights, King City

I better say goodbye to you
You're so damn special
But you, you're driving me wild

King City
You're driving me wild
King City, King City, oh I

We really gotta get there
When we gonna get there?
I really gotta see that
I really gotta get there
To see King City
Wild (King City)
King

King City




You're driving me wild
King City

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of King City set up a scene of a fast-paced, late-night adventure with a sense of danger. The red Corvette is a symbol of luxury and freedom, but it is also a clear warning sign that the singer is living on the edge. The lyrics suggest that this is not a permanent lifestyle, it's something that needs to be done quickly, "lay low" and get out of there soon. The chorus is an admission that the city and the adventure that it offers are irresistible, but it's not without consequences. The singer has to say goodbye to someone special because the temptation and the danger of the city are more powerful than their attraction to the person they have to let go.


The second verse describes the action in more detail, using evocative language to show how thrilling the experience of driving through the city at night is. The lines "speeding, demon, chasing light" describe the sensation of losing control, but it is balanced by the safety of being with a woman who can hold on tight. The singer knows that this lifestyle is not sustainable, but the pull of the city is too much to resist. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the power that the city has over the singer, but also the ambiguity of the feelings that the city creates.


The bridge is a plea to keep going, to keep pushing towards King City. The repetition of the line "I really gotta get there" shows the single-minded focus of the singer, and the word "wild" becomes almost mantra-like, describing the sensation of being drawn further and further into the city's dangerous, exciting embrace.
