King
Years & Years/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the King of Kings
Run from the one
Who holds the key
To his riches and majesty
And the key to your killing
Whenever you run away
You won't escape
You will pay
You'll pay
You'll pay
Run from the one
From the King of Kings
Run from the one who holds the key
Run from the one who has all the power
Run from the one who will make you a coward
Whenever you run away
You won't escape
His grasp is too powerful
You will pay
You'll pay
You'll pay
You're caught by the one
Called the King of Kings
What's there left to do
You pick up your fists
You're ready to fight
But you wake up in the middle of the night
Whenever you run away
You won't escape
His grasp is too powerful
You will pay
You'll pay
You'll pay
The lyrics to "King" by Years & Years/Musicfire.in can be interpreted as a warning about running away from responsibility and accountability. The "King of Kings" represents the consequences of our actions, and running from them only delays the inevitable. The lyrics suggest that no matter how hard we try to avoid the consequences of our actions, they will always catch up with us. The line "You won't escape, His grasp is too powerful, You will pay, You'll pay, You'll pay" emphasizes the idea that one cannot run away from their problems.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of power and control. The King of Kings is depicted as having all the power and holding the key to both his own riches and the potential destruction of others. The line "Run from the one who has all the power, Run from the one who will make you a coward" suggests that avoiding responsibility can ultimately lead to a loss of power and self-respect.
Moreover, the lyrics suggest that facing the consequences of our actions is the only way to truly conquer them. The lines "you pick up your fists, you're ready to fight, but you wake up in the middle of the night" can be interpreted as an acknowledgement that running away only leads to a sense of unfulfilled anger and regret.
