Kings
Sérgio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life itself has cut my wings
Words are stones and come undone
I just lie to feel the pain again
I get on,
But I don’t know the way out
Cold, my hands…
They can’t feel the way
I’m too late
To build the bridge that takes me home, so I,
I´ll burn it all to the ground
Today
I’ll get my answers
You gotta know what you want…
Standing strong, the way of kings
No more puppet on a string
Walking on, not slowing down
Now’s the time to win that crown
I get on,
But I don’t know the way out
Cold, my hands…
They can’t feel the way
If there’s a way, I don’t know it
I’m too late
To build the bridge that takes me home, so I,
I´ll burn it all to the ground
Today
I’ll get my answers
You gotta know what you want…
Rule your mind, your mind…
To do the things you want
Rule your lies, your lies…
I’m too late
To build the bridge that takes me home, so I,
I´ll burn it all to the ground
Today
To build the bridge that takes me home, so I,
I´ll burn it all to the ground
Today
I’ll get my answers
You gotta know what you want…
UHHHHHHHUHHHUHHH
You gotta know what you want
The lyrics of Sergio T's song "The King" depict a sense of struggle and determination in finding one's path and purpose in life. The opening lines illustrate a feeling of being held back and restricted for a long time, unable to soar freely due to the weight of past experiences and challenges. The imagery of words being like stones and unraveling suggests that communication has been difficult, and the singer copes by embracing pain as a familiar sensation. This sets the tone of introspection and a yearning for change.
The theme of feeling lost and uncertain continues as the singer acknowledges that they are moving forward but without a clear direction or destination in sight. The cold hands symbolize a lack of emotional connection or sensitivity, further emphasizing the detachment and confusion in navigating life's journey. The metaphor of not knowing the way out reflects a feeling of being trapped or stuck in a cycle of uncertainty, unable to find a way back to a place of stability or comfort.
As the song progresses, there is a shift towards empowerment and a call to take control of one's destiny. The idea of standing strong and breaking free from the constraints of being a mere puppet on a string signifies a desire for independence and agency. The imagery of winning a crown symbolizes achieving greatness and reclaiming a sense of royalty or authority over one's own life.
The repeated refrain of "You gotta know what you want" acts as a mantra for self-discovery and decisiveness. The mention of ruling one's mind and lies suggests a need for introspection and honesty in order to overcome obstacles and make meaningful choices. The decision to burn bridges and start anew reflects a willingness to let go of the past and embrace the unknown in pursuit of answers and fulfillment. The final exclamation of "UHHHHHHHUHHHUHHH" serves as a powerful declaration of determination and resolve in the face of uncertainty and challenges.
