Walk the Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you had thrown yourself down
Into the lion's den
My brother, I'd follow you in
Perhaps I lack some foresight (lack some foresight)
But brother, oh, you were so right
Sure as the setting sun (sure as the setting sun)
That's what you want
But it's not what you're asking for
I said that's what you're asking
But you're gonna get more than you bargained for
I said that's what you had
But you don't have it anymore
You had it comin'
I never imagined you dead (never imagined)
But tell me, are you even aware
That all that we did, you undo
Iscariot, you fool
That's what you want
But it's not what you're asking for
I said that's what you're asking
But you're gonna get more than you bargained for
I said that's what you had
But you don't have it anymore
You had it comin'
You had it comin'
My friend, my friend
You know you had it comin' my brother
You had it comin'
My friend, my friend
You know you had it comin' my brother
You had it comin'
My friend, my friend
You know you had it comin' my brother
You had it comin'
My friend, my friend
You know you had it comin' my brother
You had it comin'
My friend, my friend
My brother
My friend, my friend
My brother
My friend, my friend
My brother
My friend, my friend
My brother
My friend, my friend
My brother
The lyrics of Walk the Moon's song Iscariot tell a tale of betrayal and regret. The opening lines show the loyalty and devotion of the singer towards their brother, as they declare that they would follow them even into the lion's den. However, the next line suggests that the brother did not have much foresight and was perhaps not trustworthy. The chorus repeats a warning that the brother has had it coming, and although the singer had never imagined them dead, they now seem to regret all that they did with and for the brother.
The lyrics also reflect a sense of dissatisfaction and unfulfilled desires. The line "That's what you want, but it's not what you're asking for" suggests that the brother was not clear about his intentions or goals, and did not communicate them well to the singer. This lack of clarity and communication led to an outcome that was different from what the brother wanted. Additionally, the line "You're gonna get more than you bargained for" implies that the brother wanted something, but did not fully understand the consequences of his actions.
Overall, the lyrics of Iscariot seem to be about the price of betrayal and the regret that comes with it. The brother had it coming, but the singer still mourns the loss of their relationship and the trust that was broken between them.
Line by Line Meaning
Until now, I knew this of myself
Until this moment, I had a certain understanding of who I was
That if you had thrown yourself down
If you were in trouble or danger
Into the lion's den
In a situation of great risk or danger
My brother I'd follow you in
I would courageously stand by your side
Perhaps I lack some foresight (should have known)
Maybe I didn't see clearly or anticipate the consequences
Brother you were so right
You knew what you were talking about all along
Sure as the setting sun
As certain as the end of the day
Can't trust just anyone
It's important to be cautious who you trust
That's what you want, but it's not what you're asking for
Your desires and your requests aren't necessarily aligned
I said that's what you're asking, but you're gonna get more than you bargained for
You may underestimate the consequences of your actions
I said that's what you had, but you don't have it any more
You had something valuable, but now it's gone
You had it coming
You deserved the consequences of your actions
I never imagined you dead (I never)
I couldn't have predicted that something so extreme would happen
But tell me, are you even aware
Do you understand the gravity of your actions?
That all that we did, you undo
Your actions have reversed or destroyed everything we worked for
Iscariot, you fool
You are like Judas, betraying us for your own selfish reasons
Oh you know you had it coming my friend, my friend
You can't deny that you brought this upon yourself
You know you had it coming my brother, oh my brother
Even though we were close, you still face the consequences of your actions
Had it coming my friend, my friend
You can't deny that you brought this upon yourself
You know you had it coming my brother, oh my brother
Even though we were close, you still face the consequences of your actions
Had it coming my friend, my friend
You can't deny that you brought this upon yourself
You know you had it coming my brother, oh my brother
Even though we were close, you still face the consequences of your actions
Had it coming my friend, my friend
You can't deny that you brought this upon yourself
You had it coming.
You deserved the consequences of your actions

Wow. I'm watching this man lip sing into the camera in a badly lit airport yet it's one of the more powerful experiances I've had musically. The melody combined with his intensity create something you could drown in.

***** Yeah, she's exaggerating a bit. However, the song is a bit personal for some, especially considering the subject matter. I think that may be where people are getting the "powerful" adjective from.
@97javic
It's powerful. There's no other word for it. She's right

He's on mine, I think he's attempting to "troll" but he's not doing a very good job.
