Choices
To Kill a King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just became it day by day
Blood fillin' up our boots
Whats the use in talking?
All you wanna do is walk
It's all you wanna do
This is how the summer ends
You never took away my crutch
Just became it day by day
Blood fillin' up our boots
Whats the use in talking?
Eyes are open finally
Eyes are open finally
All you wanna do is walk
It's all you wanna do do and
This is how the summer ends
This is how the summer ends
I
I have the same choices
As you do
As you do
When you fall
Fall like I knew you would
Lead me down down down
Lead me down
I
I have the same choices
As you do
As you do
When you fall
Fall like I knew you would
Lead me down down down
Lead me down
I never showed you what I want
You never told me what you need
A match bursting into flames
And all is dust soon enough
Eyes are open finally
Eyes are open finally
And all you wanna do is walk
It's all you wanna do do and
This is how the summer ends
This is how the summer ends
I
I have the same choices
As you do
As you do
When you fall
Fall like I knew you would
Lead me down down down
Lead me down
He's on your doorstep
He's laid down with flowers
This garden is freezing teasing
You're leaving me for hours
He's on your doorstep
He's laid down with flowers
This garden is freezing teasing
You're leaving me for hours
He's on your doorstep
He's laid down with flowers
This garden is freezing teasing
You're leaving me for hours
He's on your doorstep
He's laid down with flowers
This garden is freezing teasing
You're leaving me for hours
He's on your doorstep
He's laid down with flowers
This garden is freezing teasing
You're leaving me for hours
He's on your doorstep
He's laid down with flowers
This garden is freezing teasing
You're leaving me for hours
He's on your doorstep
He's laid down with flowers
This garden is freezing teasing
You're leaving me for hours
The lyrics of To Kill a King's song Choices are open to interpretation, but it seems to be about a relationship that is falling apart. The song begins with two people who are leaning on each other for support ("I never took away your crutch/Just became it day by day") and facing difficulties together ("Blood fillin' up our boots"). But then, the communication breaks down as they become distant and only want to walk away from the issues ("All you wanna do is walk/It's all you wanna do"). The chorus repeats the lines "I have the same choices/As you do/When you fall/Fall like I knew you would", which might suggest that the singer knew their relationship was doomed from the start.
The lines "He's on your doorstep/He's laid down with flowers/This garden is freezing teasing/You're leaving me for hours" could mean that someone else has come into the picture, perhaps trying to win the affection of the singer's partner. The repetition of these lines creates a haunting effect, as if the singer can't escape the image of their partner leaving with someone else. "This is how the summer ends" is also repeated several times throughout the song, signaling the end of something and the beginning of something new.
Overall, the lyrics of Choices are poetic and emotional, capturing the pain of a failing relationship and the difficulty of making choices that can affect our lives in profound ways.

Every so often I remember this song and come back to relisten to it and it still blows me away every time. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years
