| Of Monsters And Men – King and Lionheart Lyrics | 5 years ago |

This song to me, is uplifting at parts and sorrowful at others. To me this tells a story of two lovers, and their "children." The story starts, by the way my imagination is slightly wild, so if you don't get how I got some parts of this story, I get that. The story starts, with a regular woman (The lionheart) among everyone, and she has a lover. This lover is the (King). He and She are spouses. But, her sister crosses a line, and she has a forbidden love with another person. In the end, she gets stuck with the children that are really her sister's. Keeping a secret that can't be hidden forever, in the shadows of lies. She tells her lover that these are her children, and he believes her. They are just tiny babies now. As they grow up they continue to believe that she is their mother. After her sister gives birth, her sister's lover turns on her and runs off with another girl. However the" King "is so proud of his children, triplets to be exact. They become part of a prophecy, and they are special children. Their names are known throughout the lands of which they know. They soon become adults. But another prophecy is made. One that says only 2 of the three children are part of the prophecy. The third is left out she in her misery is lonely, which her story as well as another woman that knows this one can be connected through to the song Buy the Stars. Through all this tragedy something else happens, a fire, burning bright and horrid, and the mother of the three from the prophecy, had another lover, someone with great anger and hate when he found that her heart now belonged to another and his heart was trampled in the dust. He tries out of hate to kill the three in the fire. He doesn't succeed because the mother aves them. The one of the three who is not part of the prophecy kills him without any witnesses. If this wasn't enough for her to want to run off the next part is. Soon, at a gathering of an enormous amount of people the secret slips. Everyone knows. The shame is brought down upon the lionheart, king, the three children, and the sister. The sister loses anything and everything she even had left, the lionheart feels shame, and she loses her lover, who speaks not to her. Acts as if she was never there. The non-prophicized one, her name is Holly, runs off into a tunnel which appears to collapse all around her. Everyone think she's dead. Is she? The other two, Jay and Leo, stay strong and are mostly pitied. This story is of a king and a lionheart, the two lovers, now fallen apart, and put back together after months of loneliness and hurt. The magestic heart- felt one, and the strong protector of him, the fearless one. They are the King and the Lionheart. |

It seems as though someone is or the person singing is talking of a person who is so dark-hearted, but they are trying to bring them back to the light, but theycouldn't be saved, because, And in your man-made dark The light inside you died The last sliver of goodness, that could have brought them into the light, then died, and when it did, all hope for them was lost. This person is connected deeply in some way to the person singing, because they were the last person they could hold on to, which made them lonely from there on out.As in the lyric: All my life I've been so lonely All in the name of being holy When they tried so hard to keep the dark-hearted other to hold on, and to be the person in the light, it failed. After this, the person singing starts to become dark-hearted herself, like the lyrics: Oh we don't own our heavens now We only own our hell And if you don't know that by now Then you don't know me that well When he/she says (we) she/he means themselves, and the one that sent the ground crashing down all around her, in an emotional state. In the song she goes down a lot on the word, (well). This sounds dark-hearted, and then from that moment on they are both lost to the darkness. And in that lyric it seems as though nobody knows them, because people around the person singing thinks that she is still in the light side, until she frustratedily snarls at them, saying "I don't belong in this light, after all, I only own my hell, and since you don't know that, even after all this time, then you must not know me that well!" The lyrics also refer to this when it says, Still, you'd like to think you know me You keep buyin' stars When she says You keep buyin' stars, she means that you go ahead and keep trying to bring me back to the light, even something of a miracle, won't bring me back from the dark in a million years. And you could buy up all of the stars, But it wouldn't change who you are You're still living life in the dark It's just who you are It's just who you are In this part, she now talks alone with her partner in the dark, the one that only owns his hell with her. She even though dark now, still tries, though half heartidly, because she knows she's doing it in vain. She tries to make him realize, as a trick almost, how dark he has become, and how he used to be. She says at last, almost like "Oh well, you know you could gather as much light as you want, and you will still be dark, after all, it's just what you are now." You know only how to own me You know only how to own me This shows again that he's the only one who understands her, and she tells him so. When she you know only how to own me, it's a sense of understanding, he's the only one who knows her so well that he can be the only who knows her weakness, that can truly defeat her. Next comes the part that I call in my eyes, the darkest part. You're buying stars to shut out the light We come alone and then we die This particular plot is interesting. This sparks an idea in her dark-hearted other. Something sinister. He tells her to come alone as in we come alone. To a place where his plan unfolds, she comes alone unarmed as asked. He then grits his teeth and says to her "You tried to shut out the light, and because you did this, you wanted to live miserablly with me, when you could have been fine,I can't stand another moment to see you like this." In this she stares back bewildered. He continues, "If you were really meant to live with me in the dark you would have chosen not to come alone. Because of your poor choice to come alone, you will die." And with this last word to her he uses her weakness to kill her. This is not nessesarily evil, he wanted to put her out her misery, because he knew she could never be truly happy alive with him now that he had done this. And no matter how hard you try I'll always belong in the sky And you could buy up all of the stars, But it wouldn't change who you are You're still living life in the dark Then as she gazes down at him from the stars, she says as if she could speak to him again, "No matter how hard you try, I always did belong in the light." Then she says same thing she said to him that one night. Then she goes on to repeat, it's just who you are, over and over. This echoes through his mind. We will never know what will happen then. In short I believe the person singing is female, the one who first fell to the dark was male, and they were indeed lovers. These lyrics to me is of a tragic, fallen love story, that leads to a tragic end, and an unanswered call echoing out. |
