All The Kings Lyrics

Cover art for All The Kings lyrics by Editors

I think Editors made a song about the struggles in a relationship (send me to venus= love; mars= fight) But with growing fear (colliding stars). He then experiments and succeed but ends bad, his first scar (break from tradition/ tear). As in daily life he has to give all to succeed (whole pack). He keeps trying and failing. The other people feasts (dance on sparks and broken heart) on his failures and scars, so he gives up (burn it all down) with little hope left (would you hold on?) until the kings (wisdom) come on the sound of his rib cage. But for now his heart stays alone in the dark and maybe forever as he gives up?
