The Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y te hago tostás pa desayunar
Si tu quieres yo te puedo cantar
O te puedo pasar memes por Instagram
Pero na' más, pero na' más
Ya no soy ni la princesa ni la rana
Que te vayas, que te vayas
Ni cenita ni paseo por la playa
PC cerrao, desinstalo el Whatsapp
Estoy fumao, no se de qué raza
No me sienta mal pero no se qué me pasa
Si tu gang está hablando de sus zapas
O del coche que le ha prestao' su papa
Yo me siento viejo y aunque tu seas to guapa
Es más guapa la merienda que tengo en mi casa
Si tu quieres yo te puedo bailar
Yo te puedo ahh'.. zumito, pa desayunar
Si tu quieres yo te puedo bailar
O te puedo hacer un Sticker para Whatsapp
Pero na' más, pero na' más
Ya no soy ni la princesa ni la rana
Que te vayas, que te vayas
Ni cenita ni paseo por la playa
Tú no sabes nada de mi
Yo no se nada de ti
Dime que quieres de mi
Yo solo quiero ser free
Si yo voy se que te vas a ir
Por eso baby me quedo aquí
Puesto pal cash se me ve venir
No quiero ná solo quiero rings
No más cenitas románticas
Pon mi nombre en una lápida
Mi palacio es mío de nadie más
Nadie máas, tú vete yaaa
No se por qué piensa eso
Yo no soy deste' universo
El amor mata muy lento
Yo me abro nena lo siento
Pero na' más, pero na' más
Ya no soy ni la princesa ni la rana
Que te vayas, que te vayas
Ni cenita ni paseo por la playa
Yung Matia' on the track
King Josito on the track
Chocolate in ma bag
Chocolate in ma bag
Cookie in ma bag nena cookie in ma bag
Cookie in ma bag nena cookie in ma bag
Cookie in ma bag
The lyrics to The Kings's song "Go Away" speak about a person who is no longer in love with their partner and wants them to leave. They offer to do things like make breakfast, sing, and send memes, but ultimately they just want to be alone on their terrace, smoking and not thinking about the world. The singer feels old and out of touch with their partner's interests, feeling more at home with simple pleasures like snacks and staying in.
Throughout the song, the vocalist emphasizes that they are not who they used to be - they are neither a princess nor a frog, which could reference the fairy tale of the prince who was turned into a frog until a princess kissed him. This could be interpreted as the singer feeling like they've lost their uniqueness and are becoming more mundane. They also mention being "free" multiple times, highlighting the desire to be independent and not tied down to another person.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer has fallen out of love and wants to end the relationship, but it's clear that they still care about their partner and don't want to hurt them. The song is catchy and upbeat, contrasting with the somewhat sad message behind the lyrics.
