It's funny but when I heard this song I got the impression Gnarls was either accused of or admitting to depending too much on another person's music (stealing). Now that I read it was after James Brown died I wonder if I'm right. If you're an artist and you even think you've stolen from another artist you would definitely feel your soul was lost but also somehow, the death of Brown would allow Gnarls to step into the spot that is now empty and that happiness at finally being the King is what would make him feel so guilty. Weird, I know, but that's what I got out of it. Probably 100% wrong. Gnarls is awesome
