The Killers-Bling(Confessions Of A King)

Confessions of a king indeed, those are some interesting lyrics. Could only find a live version but it's a good one. Here is the songmeanings link, it's amazing how many possible interpretations of a song there are, apparently the singer said in a magazine that the song was about his hard working father. Just highlighted a few things in the lyrics, which can lead to loads of interesting possible thought streams. I take it into a secret society conspiracy reality tunnel ;p Though don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is thé hidden agenda for entrainment in the song. There's coincidence (if you believe in such a thing ;p I still include it in my catmas, to keep more or less sane :p) and synchronicity to consider as well, I love to interpret reality as this huge meta-narrative.

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
How do you know that you're right?

I awoke on the roadside,
In the land of the free ride,
And I can't pull it any longer,
The sun is beating down my neck

So I ran with the devil
Left a trail of excuses,
Like a stone on the water,
The elements decide my fate,
Watch it go... (bling)

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
Don't tell me that it's over. Stand up!
Poor and tired but
More than this.

How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore, (saying to his masters)
It's not so bad, it's not so bad... (trying to convince himself)

I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus,
But I'm pushing on for that horizon (horus),
I'm pushing on,
Now I've got that blowing wind against my face

So you sling rocks at the rip tide,
Am I wrong or am I right?
I hit the bottom with a "huh!"
Quite strange,
I get my glory in the desert rain,
Watch it go...
(I offer you survival!)

[chorus]

Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it,
Out of the fire,
Higher and higher

Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it,
Out of the fire,
Higher and higher

Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it out,
Whoa-oh-oh Higher and higher...


It ain't hard to hold,
When it shines like gold,
You'll remember me.
(Money & Fame,
in exchange for a soul? ;p)
