King Nothing Lyrics

Lyric discussion by my 2 cents 

Cover art for King Nothing lyrics by Metallica

hi, i joined this website just to post this.

the reference to the star is a play on the "wishing star" rhyme. it is on the start of Disney's pinocchio. the exact rhyme is "star light, star bright, first star i see tonight. i wish i may, i wish i might, have this wish i wish tonight."

in this song he wishes he owned the star and wishes he had everything. he uses a wishing star for a wholly selfish reason. i reckon this is supposed to show just how greedy they are.
