You Wear A Crown But You're No King
blessthefall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll never stop 'til you get what you want
You think you have control
You tried to take mine
But I won't leave 'til I get what I want
Over and over bending and breaking
Watching the ashes fall
Will it ever cross your mind?
I'm the man you'll never be
Think about me when you're all alone
Without someone to love (without someone to love)
Am I gonna be the last one standing?
How's it gonna feel when I'm on top?
I guess I'll watch you walk away (away)
Don't waste my time
You've got this upside down
What were you thinking of?
What were you thinking of?
You've got this upside down
What were you thinking of?
What were you thinking of?
Watching your empire fall
Watching the ashes fall
Will it ever cross your mind?
I'm the man you'll never be
Think about me when you're all alone
Without someone to love
You're out there on your own
Am I gonna be the last one standing?
How's it gonna feel when I'm on top?
I guess I'll watch you walk away
And let your empire crumble
Am I gonna be the last one standing?
How's it gonna feel when I'm on top
I guess I'll watch you walk away
Watch your empire crumble
You decide what's next for us
Over and over you sold me out
You decide what's next for us
Over and over bending and breaking
You decide what's next for us
You decide what's next for us
You'll never learn, you never will
You'll never learn, you never will
You decide what's next for us
You decide what's next for us

The chorus of the song asks if the singer will be the last one standing and how it will feel when they are on top. The singer watches as the other person walks away and lets their empire crumble.

Line by Line Meaning
Watching your empire fall
Observing the decline of your power
You'll never stop till you get what you want
You have an insatiable desire for control
You think you have control
You falsely believe that you have power over others
You tried to take mine
You attempted to take away what I have
But I won't leave till I get what I want
I will not back down until I achieve my goals
Over and over bending and breaking, no!
Despite repeated attempts to break me, I remain steadfast
Watching the ashes fall
Observing the aftermath of your downfall
Will it ever cross your mind?
Have you ever considered?
I'm the man you'll never be
I possess qualities you lack
Think about me when you're all alone
Reflect on my superiority when you are by yourself
Without someone to love (Without someone to love)
Without anyone to support you
Am I gonna be the last one standing?
Will I be the victor in the end?
How's it gonna feel when I'm on top
How will you cope with the knowledge that I have triumphed over you?
I guess I'll watch you walk away
I will witness you leaving in defeat
Don't waste my time
Do not squander the time I have invested
You've got this upside down
Your perspective is flawed
What were you thinking of?
What was your motivation?
You're out there on your own
You are alone in your struggle
And let your empire crumble
Allowing your kingdom to disintegrate
You decide what's next for us
You have the power to determine our future
Over and over you sold me out
Repeatedly betraying me
You'll never learn (You never will)
You are incapable of developing insight

The Machine God
Потрясающий клип. Потрясающая группа. Потрясающий вокал.
Как же вы достали ныть, что Боу портит группу.
БОУ. НЕ. ПОРТИТ. ГРУППУ.
Если бы не он, я думаю, что Blessthefall вообще прекратили бы своё существование.
Когда в группе был другой вокалист, Крейг Мэббит, никто из вас не говорил, что вас не устраивает его вокал. А его голос, кстати, чуть выше, чем голос Боу.
Но после того как он свалил в Escape The Fate, и ему на смену пришёл Боу, многие из вас стали кукарекать, что он, якобы, тянет BTF ко дну.
Я так не считаю.
У Боу потрясающий голос, и он сам по себе прекрасный человек.
А для тех, кому не нравится стиль группы, идите лесом, потому что BTF никогда не были полноценным металкором или пост-хардкором. Ребята всегда смешивали разные стили.
Если вам не нравится голос Боу, то просто не слушайте. И не надо устраивать из-за этого ругань под видео.

@Ron Timms considering this band is known as a Christian band it's probably against Satan XD
Talia R Ronen
Thank you i needed this
Eric Hall
I never enjoyed Blessthefall before but this Hollow Bodies cd really impressed me. They've certainly matured as musicians.
Metal Matt
@Freddy Szubak Beau is a WAY better singer than Craig, just listen to how fierce the bassist screams and how beautifully Beau sings; a vast improvement on Craig I feel. Beau used to front Ivoryline too who were an amazing band.
Deion Mitchell
We're in total agreement there. That's why I said since Beau came along, blessthefall really stepped it up and besides Awakening, Witness and Hollow Bodies were masterpieces.
Freddy Szubak
Deion Mitchell I have to agree with you. Craig is a better singer than Beau. But the band has really progressed and matured more with Beau if you ask me. The overall quality of the songs are better.
Deion Mitchell
Alex Lidell I respect your opinion, that was a good album and Craig is a better singer than Beau imo. But blessthefall needed a step up that they weren't getting with Craig in the way I see it. Witness was extremely successful with better song structure and songs in general.
Fabio Pires
That's exactly when I started listening to this genre. Then one year later BTF released Witness
rockinserge
This was easily their best album
