Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I caught you watching me under the light
Can I realign?
They say it's easy to leave you behind
I don't wanna try

Cut cover, take that test
Hold courage to your chest
Don't wanna wait for you

Don't wanna have to lose
All that I've compromised
To feel another high
I've got to keep it down tonight

And oh, oh, oh
I was a king under your control
And oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel like you've let me go
So let me go

Don't you remember how I used to like
Being on the line?
I dreamed you dreamed of me calling out my name
Is it worth the price?

Cut cover, take that test
Hold courage to your chest

I had to break myself to carry on
No love and no admission
Take this from me tonight

Overall Meaning

"King" by Years & Years is a song about finding the strength to let go of a toxic relationship, even when it is difficult to do so. The song is sung from the perspective of the person who has been controlled by their partner, as they try to reclaim their power and find freedom. The lyrics describe how the person wants to move on from the relationship, but they struggle with giving up the feeling of being dominant in the relationship. However, they ultimately realize that staying with this person is not worth the emotional toll it takes on them.

The chorus of the song reflects this struggle with the lyrics "I was a king under your control, And oh, oh, oh / I wanna feel like you've let me go." The singer feels like they have been controlled by their partner and wants to break free. They are trying to regain control of their life and become the king (or queen) of their own destiny.

The song also explores themes like pride and self-love, as the person tries to reconcile their feelings for their partner with their own happiness. The lyrics "Don't wanna have to lose / All that I've compromised / To feel another high" suggest that they have already given up a lot for this relationship and are no longer willing to sacrifice their own happiness for it.

Overall, "King" is a powerful anthem about finding the courage and strength to walk away from a toxic relationship and reclaiming one's power.

Line by Line Meaning

I caught you watching me under the light
I noticed you observing me while in the spotlight

Can I realign?
Can we get back in sync with one another?

They say it's easy to leave you behind
Others suggest it's simple to forget about you

I don't wanna try
I'm not willing to attempt it

Cut cover, take that test
Put on your facade and prove yourself

Hold courage to your chest
Have the bravery to persevere

Don't wanna wait for you
I can't stand to anticipate you any longer

Don't wanna have to lose
I don't want to suffer a loss

All that I've compromised
Everything I've given up

To feel another high
Just to experience another moment of pure bliss

I've got to keep it down tonight
I must keep my emotions in check for now

And oh, oh, oh
Expressing a cry or frustration

I was a king under your control
I was once under your power or influence

I wanna feel like you've let me go
I want to sense that I'm free from your grasp

So let me go
Allow me to leave

Don't you remember how I used to like
Do you not recall how much I enjoyed

Being on the line?
Being in a state of uncertainty

I dreamed you dreamed of me calling out my name
I dreamed that you dreamed of me saying your name

Is it worth the price?
Is the outcome worth the cost?

I had to break myself to carry on
I had to defeat myself to endure

No love and no admission
There's no love or acceptance

Take this from me tonight
Accept this from me now

Oh-oh, let's fight
Let's struggle to try and resolve this

Let go, let go, let go of everything
Release any shackles, abandon all excess baggage

@theharshtruthoutthere

@@freyadunn8734 The nonsenses many believe in:
- visiting moon and mars and that there are billions of years.
- TV programs (the news channels) and schools share truth.
- bible is man written.
- the old devil with the fallens are myth.
- believe what ever you want, live as you want , you`d be still in heaven.
- humans aint sinners in need of SALVATION.
- voting matters and governments care.
- UFOs come and snap souls away, and not the BLESSED HOPE FOR CHRISTIANS, THE RAPTURE.
- gender is changeable and that humans are created by Baphomet, who is the devil who didn`t exist.
- MASONS aint the biggest and worst perverts in need of exposing.
- believing in past lives and that we born again and again into this real.

So, why souls, why do many believe in these nonsenses?

Truth, which we do not like:
- there is no billions of years, there is only 6000 years.
- The UFOs have always been the FALLEN ANGELS. Fallen angels and the devil is not a myth.
- there is no planets, there is only plane knows as EARTH.
- there is no cosmos, there is HELL - EARTH - WATERS - THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
- buddah was wrong, for all man is : Hebrews 9:27
- there is no evolution, there is the CREATIONS OF GOD.
- there is no humans being only carnal being, there is HUMANS - being created after the image of GOD. (Human being = SPIRIT BEING).
- the reality is not that live however you like, you still be in heaven. The reality is, COME TO REPENTANCE - BORN AGAIN, DO THE WILL OF GOD = THE NARROW ROAD TO HEAVEN.
Matthew 7:21
- the only way to HEAVEN is through the only begotten SON OF GOD: John 14:6
- There Is a choosing we all must do: Deuteronomy 30:19 , Joshua 24:15
- humans were created by GOD, in 2 genders, we either were made to be males or females.

The truth we don`t like:
- we are sinners who are called to repentance and to born again, Luke 13:5 , John 3:7
- we are called back home with renewed minds and hearts, yet many shall reject the calling and perish into the torment.
- we live under demonic power, the evil spirits in high places: Ephesians 6:12
- there is a risk to be a lukewarm and a cast away. Revelation 3:15 , Luke 9:25
- the final A.I shall be humans themselves, Spirits in-prisoned into the machine, wishing to die, yet no death for them. Revelation 9:6
- as time pass by, there be more and more betrayals, among families:
¤ son against his father, father against his son,
¤ daughter against her mother, mother against her daughter,
¤ mother in law against daughter in law
……Micah 7:6 , Matthew 10:35 ,
Luke 12:53
- be not friend with this world but rather:
Ephesians 5:11

- Christianity is reality.

The truth we don`t like:
- TVs keep the whole mankind under MK MIND CONTROL.
- there is none trans nor gay, all of it are the consequence from THE MK ULTRA MIND CONTROL.
- there is soon the greatest lie again played with mankind: THE PROJECT BLUE BEAM.
- we are deceived 24/7/365 through TV programs /news) and through wicked people.
- we live in a BABYLON from which all are called to come out. Revelation 18:4
- without the studying and reading the BIBLE, we then only deceive others, as we also then are deceived ourselves: 2 Timothy 3:13
- all worldly holidays are pagan.
- fame and riches come only through the deal with the devil.
- PRIDE keeps us blind and deaf. Mark 8:18
- generations of humans are destroyed because: Hosea 4:6
- dealing with the BIBLE gives us: John 8:32 (TRUTH AND FREEDOM and SALVATION) as we:
Psalms 55:16 , Psalms 145:18

Ryan got in touch a while ago to say he was a fan of our music, I'd been an admirer of his work so we met up and we instantly hit it off. As a band we've always wanted to use choreography in a video - something that was a bit more unusual and I knew Ryan would be the guy to work with. The initial idea came from the meaning of the song, feeling controlled by somebody and wanting them to let you go. We were lucky enough to shoot the video in LA with a bunch of ridiculously talented and nice people, I'm really thankful to all the crew, Nadia for her excellent directing eyes, Ryan, and all the dancers who did such a great job!

Guys do you know if the members of the band are reachable through social network? As in private messaging them? I'm not talkiing about hypothetically but something you've seen it happening or you have heard of. Would you suggest Instagram, Twitter, Fb? On fb, there is notation that they "practically reply within few hours" so I don't know if this makes it a better choice.
P.S I have no illusions about the ones answering being really them but even someone who manages their social media gives a chance of forwarding them.

This list also included echosmith "cool kids". 2014 to 2015 were great years for new music.

We were so caught up on moving from ne thing to the next we forgot to cherish what matters the most we forgot to hold on too anything and now all we wanna do is go back that's called nostalgia. It wasn't as easy as you thought.

Can't wait to hear the Eurovision song!! Hope he does well. A top 10 or top 5 could really spur other young UK artists to jump on for subsequent years. Olly was always on my wishlist for the UK. Clean Bandit or Becky Hill next please 😝.
