| Lamb of God – King Me Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I feel like this song is about struggles with addiction. The way the instruments begins is so desperate. Randy says he sees "the world through a pinhole camera". Which is too say he's pinned out on dope or opiates. He'd been running away from the truth of it for so long that he forgot who he was. He's trying to fix things with his life whilest being high but it just doesn't work. He dreams for days of yesteryear but no matter what, the ultimate persona of him "king me" (the addiction) is killing him. He wants the "fog to lift" and he "survived himself somehow dead and imprisoned". He wants to get out of the struggles of addiction but he's a space to it. HIs noatalgia glorifies the good times of it all but ultimately he's killing himself. As it it ends he questions his addiction and his connection to it. |
