So you wanna be the king?
King of everything?
You’re not livin the life, not livin the dream
We know you’re fake as fuck
Just another fucking cunt

Fuck off you’re talken shit
I see ya face with my fist in it
So you wanna be the king?

Do you know where you came from?
Do you know who you are?

Now that you know you are nothing
The king is dead
The king is dead
Dead
And now you’ve got no one
The king is dead
The king is dead

We’re gonna make you dig
Cause we’re about to bury you

Never again
You’ll stand over them
Never again
Will you speak my name
Never again
Will you spit in our face
Never again
Never

Orr fuck yeh
Fuckin oath
You know what’s comin cockhead

I will nail your mouth shut
You’ve said it all, you’ve said enough
Shut your face you wicked cunt
Send you back to where you came from
Depths of impurity
Remember me?
I have come to take your soul
Be gone monster obscurity
We incinerate the demon’s spawn

We won’t back down

Fuck was it worth it?
Was it all worth it?
Eat a cock suck a dick
Know who you are
Now you’re open
Busted an broken, bleeding
Stupid mother fucker
Fuckin pig

So you wanna be the king?
King of everything?
You’re not livin the life, not livin the dream
We know you’re fake as fuck
Just another fucking cunt

Fuck off you’re talkin shit
I see ya face with my fist in it
So you wanna be the king?

We’re comin for you
Now that you know you are nothing
The king is dead
The king is dead
Dead
And now you’ve got no one
The king is dead
The king is dead

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
