King Folly Lyrics
King Folly
Your crown's so heavy
I am betting
The price on your head
King Folly
Your future's ugly
I've been fitting in
Your boots for the road
You're on thin ice with a heavy heart
You're on thin ice with a heavy, heavy heart
A heavy, heavy heart
A heavy, heavy heart
King Folly
If you should break through
All you need to do is
Reach a hand up
King Folly
I see your pride has
Frozen stiff like the ice you're on
But for how long?
Thin ice with a heavy heart
On thin ice with a heavy, heavy heart
Thin ice with a heavy heart
You're on thin with a heavy, heavy heart
With a heavy, heavy heart
A heavy, heavy heart
Go only what is not so bad
You'll go long in a bin
It's really not so bad
Watching your pride sinking down
It really is so bad
Folly where's your crown?
Thin ice with a heavy heart
You're on thin ice with a heavy, heavy heart
On thin ice with a heavy heart
You're on thin ice
Your crown's so heavy
I am betting
The price on your head
Your future's ugly
I've been fitting in
Your boots for the road
You're on thin ice with a heavy, heavy heart
A heavy, heavy heart
A heavy, heavy heart
If you should break through
All you need to do is
Reach a hand up
I see your pride has
Frozen stiff like the ice you're on
But for how long?
On thin ice with a heavy, heavy heart
Thin ice with a heavy heart
You're on thin with a heavy, heavy heart
With a heavy, heavy heart
A heavy, heavy heart
You'll go long in a bin
It's really not so bad
Watching your pride sinking down
It really is so bad
Folly where's your crown?
You're on thin ice with a heavy, heavy heart
On thin ice with a heavy heart
You're on thin ice

when i listen i hear
Go, oh the waters not so bad you'll go numb in a bit its really not so bad watching your pride sinking down really is so bad folly wheres your crown?
it seemed to fit the whole metaphor the song was trying to make. someone who fucks up a lot and refuses to ask for help. then they finally fall through the ice at around 1:25 when the song slows down. this relates to the earlier verse when he says if you break through all you have to do is reach up your hand and ask for help. basically its having to decide to go numb and sink with your pride, or ask for help. maybe its open ended or something, but to me it implies they do not ask for help and indeed just drown with their heavy crown, rather than abandon the crown and get out. i assume the crown is a metaphor for pride.
though i guess the other way to see it is theyre in the water and they lose the crown, and that would be the "watching your pride sinking down", and then "folly, where's your crown?" maybe is being asked back on the surface? not really sure.
