Cover art for Revelry lyrics by Kings of Leon

I Think this song represents a relationship that may have lasted quite a while but had to end on not being able to give all that the other person deserved.

  • I get lost in the lights, so high, i don't want to come down to face the loss of the good thing that i found knowing that he has done something unwanted he doesn't really want to face what he knew he had coming to him because he knows its going to be 100 times harder than what he thought it would in the first place.

  • in the dark of the night i can hear you calling my name with the hardest of hearts i still feel full of pain this verse i like especially because its saying that he can still hear her voice over in he's head and just because he's ended the relationship it doesn't mean he's not feeling the pain that she's feeling as well.

  • so i drink and i smoke and i ask if you're ever around even though it was me who drove us right in the ground it's like he finished with her not wanting to but knowing it was for the best because she deserves better.

  • see, the time we shared it was precious to me all the while i was dreaming of revelry so he knows he doesn't want this to happen but its the best thing that should happen.

  • on a run, baby, run like a stream down a mountainside with the wind in my back i don't ever even bat an eye It's like now that he's free he can do whatever he wants.

  • just know it was you all along who had a hold of my heart but the demon in me was the best of friends from the start. it's like he's saying " I knew you are the one who's loved me all along but i always knew we wouldn't last "

  • and i told myself for the way you go it rained so hard it felt like snow everything came a' tumbling down on me He Knew It was the right decision even though when the time came it hit harder then he expected and hurt more than he wanted to.

  • in the back of the woods in dark of the night careless, --(?), your moonlight everything just felt so empty dreaming of revelry He Didn't know how alone he would feel Until now.
