Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

He didn't know that much about talking good
He tries to talk good and he ends up talking bad
And he didn't know
Didn't know
Didn't know
Didn't know
Who he could talk
Who to talk

Who to talk
Who to talk to
The queen finds a guy and you'll never guess what
He's Shiney McShine and he Hates Stutterin
But we forgot
We forgot
We forgot who the stutterer is
Who he is
Who he is
He's the King's Speech!
If this is the King's speech we've got big problems!
Got to fix his speech to avoid big problems!
Because who would respect a guy who can't talk right?
And he can't talk right
And you know...
It's just not right that he can't talk right
Cause he can't talk right
So Shiney McShine he's got a proposal
For one English buck he'll stop all the stuttering
The King wants to know
Wants to know
What the deal is.
But, then later on
He finds out what the deal is!
At some point, Guy Pearce shows up for awhile
And Michael Gambon shows up for a minute
It woulda been cool
Woulda been
Woulda been
Woulda been cool
If they stuck around a little bit more
A little bit more
A little bit more
A little bit more
A little bit more
If this is the King's Speech we've got big problems
Got to fix his speech to avoid big problems
Because it's just not right that he can't talk right
And he can't talk right in the night
And you know that it's just not right that he can't talk right

And he's the only one not even knowing he's not talking right to you in the mornin'
Cuz you are the Queen and you're in bed asleep next to the stuttering king.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of United's song Arise King Of Kings appear to be a satirical take on the story of The King's Speech, a movie that chronicles the efforts of King George VI of England to overcome his stutter and deliver a speech to the nation. The song describes the King as someone who is struggling to communicate effectively with others, and is seemingly unaware of the extent of his problem. He is described as a stutterer who is unable to "talk right," which the song suggests is a serious obstacle to his ability to lead and be respected.

The Queen is portrayed as someone who takes charge, finding a "Shiney McShine" to help the King overcome his speech impediment. However, things take a turn for the worse when it is revealed that Shiney's "proposal" to cure the King's stutter comes at a steep price: one English buck. While the King is initially intrigued by the offer and wants to know more, he ultimately realizes that he must find a way to fix his speech without resorting to such extreme measures.

Overall, the lyrics of the song appear to be a commentary on the importance of effective communication in leadership and relationships. The King's struggle to speak eloquently is seen as a major obstacle to his ability to lead, and the Queen's intervention is portrayed as a necessary step towards addressing this problem. However, the song also suggests that there are limits to what can be done to improve one's communication skills, and that it is ultimately up to the individual to work on their own speech and language.
