Royal Beggars Lyrics
Royal beggars, royal beggars
Do you, do you, do you wanna
Live forever, live forever?
Alone, alone, alone?
'Cause we’re broken
All hope is dead, but we're coping
Somebody save our souls
Like a bird in a cage, trying to fly away
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
'Cause we’re asleep in a hurricane
Bitter lovers, bitter lovers
Let go, let go, let go 'cause it's
Now or never, now or never
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in
'Cause we're choking
And left for dead, but we're coping
Somebody save our souls
Like a bird in a cage, trying to fly away
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
'Cause we're asleep in a hurricane
Are you listening? You may not have noticed
We have totally lost our way
Are you lost in the clouds? Or can you hold your focus?
It’s ourselves that we will betray
Are you listening? You may not have noticed
We have totally lost our way
Are you lost in the clouds? Or can you hold your focus?
It’s ourselves that we will betray
Like a bird in a cage, trying to fly away
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
'Cause we’re asleep in a hurricane
We sit on a throne, waiting for God to bend the knee
But we're nothing more than royal beggars
Yeah
But I'm as guilty as the next man
Our eyes are open, but we're not listening
Do you, do you, do you wanna
Live forever, live forever?
Alone, alone, alone?
All hope is dead, but we're coping
Somebody save our souls
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
'Cause we’re asleep in a hurricane
Let go, let go, let go 'cause it's
Now or never, now or never
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in
And left for dead, but we're coping
Somebody save our souls
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
'Cause we're asleep in a hurricane
We have totally lost our way
Are you lost in the clouds? Or can you hold your focus?
It’s ourselves that we will betray
Are you listening? You may not have noticed
We have totally lost our way
Are you lost in the clouds? Or can you hold your focus?
It’s ourselves that we will betray
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
'Cause we’re asleep in a hurricane
But we're nothing more than royal beggars
Yeah
But I'm as guilty as the next man
Our eyes are open, but we're not listening

I think this is about the fact that none of us really have control of anything and we’ve all forgotten that and lost our way. We try to control everything and we act as if we’re gods and expect to be catered and bowed down to (“waiting for God to bend the knee”). We are all actually only beggars because we control so little and need so much, and our society toils on in this pursuit of a perceived power that doesn’t exist. Even the kings are beggars because they don’t control everyone and they can’t control when they love or die or so many other things, but we all live in denial of these facts and try to set ourselves up as our own gods.
