King Of My Castle
Smith & Anthony Lyrics

The song "King of My Castle" by Wamdue Project, was remixed and covered many times, but the original version by Smith & Anthony has a poignant and introspective message. The lyrics suggest the artist's struggle with impatience and trusting in love. The first verse, "More than once I cried because impatience let me down, I could see the gold before the gold was found," is a metaphor for the tension between expectation and reality. The artist believed in something before it came into fruition, and this caused them to cry when the gold wasn't found. This kind of disappointment has likely been repeated, which is why the artist says "more than once."

The second half of the verse, "And every time I trusted love to lead me by the hand, It circled back and left me where I stand," describes the artist's trust issues with love. They have been let down and left in the same spot, suggesting a cycle of heartbreak. The chorus, "Where is my castle where is my destiny, How much longer will I have to dream, Where is my sunshine, Where is my valley, Where is the love that's meant for me," is a lament for what the artist lacks. They are seeking stability and love, but it has not yet come to fruition. The second verse is more determined, with the lyrics "The next time I cross over that old bridge I'm gonna stay, I don't care if the river washes it away. 'Cause I'm not gonna take one step until the day I find, A man with a faithful heart and a made up mind." The artist is resolute in their goal to find someone with a faithful heart, even if that means standing still until they do.
