Simply awesome. A song about being cut down from a position of power and fame (the boy who was once king), but vowing to make a social comeback (the future king).
Seems to be specifically about a band that isn't popular anymore - "I heard your song on the radio/like a fire-brand on my skin". Especially ironic since Bloc Party aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
One gets the sense, however, that the narrator should concern himself more with his craft and improving himself than caring about admiration from others. The fact that "[he] will wait for [his] turn to come around again" suggests a certain kind of unhealthy apathy and emotional neediness.
