False King
Navigating Life's Circus: False Kings and the Wisdom of Kelsey Waldon
Lyrics
Entitlement only leads to disappointment,
Entitlement leads to disappointment.
Because you can't ever hang on too long to anything
Holding onto things for too long is futile.
They gave that man a microphone, and a song to sing
A man with a microphone and a song, given a platform.
Now he's sayin' big words and he don't know what they mean
Using big words without understanding their meaning.
Because you can't place a crown on the head of a clown
A clown cannot become a king, despite placing a crown.
And then hope he turns out to be a king.
Hoping a clown transforms into a king is unrealistic.
Competition only comes with a fine line,
Competition has a delicate boundary.
And jealousy only seems to bring me down
Jealousy tends to have a negative impact.
Well I was never trying to be the queen,
Not aspiring to be a queen but taking pride in oneself.
I just take a lot of pride in who I am, and the way I sing
Proud of personal identity and singing style.
I just know you can't place a crown on the head of a clown
A clown can't become a king even with a crown.
And then hope it turns out to be a king.
Unrealistic expectations lead to disappointment.
I believe in doin' it right
Belief in doing things right and staying true to oneself.
Takin' your time,
Emphasizing the importance of taking time.
And staying true to who you are.
Staying true to one's identity is crucial.
Fight the good fight
Encouraging to fight for what is right.
Keep those harmonies tight,
Emphasizing the importance of tight harmonies.
And maybe tuning your guitar.
Suggesting the need to tune one's guitar, possibly metaphorical.
I've got to get it off my chest, I'm trying my best,
Expressing a need to share feelings and efforts.
I know some of y'all know what I mean
Recognizing that some people understand the struggle.
When I say, you can't place a crown on the head of a clown
Reiterating that a clown can't become a king despite a crown.
And then hope he turns out to be a king.
Warning against unrealistic hopes and expectations.
I've got to get it off my chest, I'm trying my best,
Repetition of the need to express and try one's best.
I know some of yall know what I mean
Acknowledging that some understand the struggle.
When I say, you can't place a crown on the head of a clown
Reiteration that a clown can't become a king with a crown.
And then hope he turns out to be a king.
Reemphasizing the caution against unrealistic hopes.
You can't place a crown on the head of a clown,
Asserting that a crown on a clown won't make them a king.
And then hope he turns out to be a king.
Reiterating the theme of not hoping a clown becomes a king.
