King Without A Crown
Wizards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So did the days of my life
Cruel fate of mine
To heal the wounds in my mind
'Cause when the hope is gone, I'm alone
Behold my dusty throne
Before the cry hit the world
All I had was sold
Became the blood out of gold
And in a cold recall, throw me a ball
Dance in my wrecked hall
My part is over now
My heart is broken down
Crown gone to waste
Feelings so bitter to taste
Farewell beloved land
They've come and tied my hands
Trespassed my reign
Laughing at the sound of my name
Pages meant to be read
Were torn apart, look at me now
A king without a crown
Starving my people die
Shadows demanding light
How come it got this far?
No more is for me to be done
Deprived of all my might
Denied the slightest pride
Onto nowhere I roam
To find some place and call it home
The song "King Without A Crown" by the band Wizard appears to be a narrative about what it means to be a king. The words talk about a period in the past when the singer was a king, ruling over a land of people who bowed to him. But now, this king has lost everything, including his crown, which lies wasted somewhere. He has been deposed and his hands tied, and he roams the world looking for a new home. There is a sadness and a bitterness in the lyrics, as the once powerful ruler reflects on the events that led to his downfall.
The idea of a king without a crown is a powerful metaphor for the loss of power, the loss of status, and the loss of identity. The king was once at the height of his power, but now he is powerless, roaming the world unnoticed and unwanted. The lyrics speak of an overwhelming sense of loss and despair, as the once mighty king struggles to come to terms with the cruel fate that has befallen him. In short, "King Without A Crown" is a moving meditation on the transience of power and the fragility of identity.
