Die a King

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Soak up the rag, spark up the match
Light up the night and I never look back
I am the hunter, you are the monster
I am the entity, I am the haunter
Fight with no honor, fight with no honor
Bring me the lake, I won't choke on the water
I am the author, you are the paper
Rip you apart, leave the blood on the razor

Motherfucker
I am the product of never feeling my feelings
I run up on 'em in the middle of the night and I kill 'em
I drill a hole in the building to fill the void I been missing
Can't tell me shit I don't listen
I'm burning up with the witches
Always been the same and I'll never change
Drift in the waves and I'm swept away
Catch me with the flames, I'ma decimate
And if I rest today I'll just accept my fate

This is how I feel, am I really here?
Dwell on every fear there's no healing me hear me out
Show me who I was
Patiently faithfully chasing the sun
Drag me down, deep into the ground
Seep into the weakness gotta get the secret out
I am alone, inside my head
I can't be killed if I'm already dead

Heartless entity, double identity
Look at me, look at me
See what you did to me
Look at you look at you
This is the end of you
Thought I was done but bitch, this is the interlude
I would be cautious, watch where you step
I am your conscience, I am your breath
I am the sovereign, never to rest
I will break down your will until nothing is left

I don't wanna live forever, I just wanna die a king
I don't wanna live forever, I just wanna die a king
I don't wanna live forever, I just wanna die a king
I don't wanna live forever, I just wanna die a king

Soak up the rag, spark up the match
Light up the night and I never look back
I am the hunter, you are the monster
I am the entity, I am the haunter
Fight with no honor, fight with no honor
Bring me the lake, I won't choke on the water
I am the author, you are the paper
Rip you apart, leave the blood on the razor

Motherfucker
I am the product of never feeling my feelings
I run up on 'em in the middle of the night and I kill 'em
I drill a hole in the building to fill the void I been missing
Can't tell me shit I don't listen
I'm burning up with the witches
Always been the same and I'll never change
Drift in the waves and I'm swept away
Catch me with the flames, I'ma decimate
And if I rest today I'll just accept my fate

I don't wanna live forever, I just wanna die a king
I don't wanna live forever, I just wanna die a king




I don't wanna live forever, I just wanna die a king
I don't wanna live forever, I just wanna die a king

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Iamjakehill's song Die a King are a contemplation on the desire for power and the justification of violence in order to obtain and maintain it. The singer sees himself as a hunter in pursuit of those he perceives as monsters, willing to fight with no honor and willing to kill to fill a void within himself. He proclaims his sovereignty and his will to break others until there is nothing left. He sees himself as a heartless entity with a double identity, and alone inside his head. The singer concludes that he does not want to live forever, but rather to die a king.


The lyrics suggest a fascination with power and the means to acquire it. The idea of being a hunter and the justification of fighting without honor suggest a ruthless and self-serving attitude. The repeated lines "I don't want to live forever/I just want to die a king" indicate the singer's obsession with achieving greatness that surpasses mortality. The chorus of the song signifies the artist's desire to be remembered as a king even after his death. However, the lyrics proceed to acknowledge the loneliness and emptiness of the desire for power.


In conclusion, Die a King is a haunting and introspective exploration of the quest for power and recognition. The lyrics depict a person who is willing to do anything to obtain his goals, but who ultimately realizes the futility and emptiness of his desires.

I really hope so, he needs to get more of the giant and titan Youtubers like Pewdiepie to use his custom music in their outros and intros as that's how I found him and just through his 2 30 seconds outros in Pewdiepie's videos and one in H3H3 did he gain nearly all of his subscribers. If I was Jake I would just make the raps and send them to these Youtubers quite frequently for hopefully fans will see them and retweet or create enough waves in teh water for the big Youtuber creators to notice. Actually, Jake should have made a mean ass fire roast bomb attacking Jake Paul for some justified and well needed publicity as that asinine individual deserved to get burned by some Jake KilL HiLlfire beats.

@OliveandOyle

I want him to roast the FUCK out of Jake Paul. That would be everything I could ever need.
