Heathens
Reckless Nights and Rebel Souls: Unveiling the Meaning Behind King Kyote's Heathens
Lyrics
We could feel the tide shifting
We sensed a noticeable change in the atmosphere or circumstances.
And the heat rising slow.
The temperature is gradually increasing, indicating intensifying emotions.
And it cuts like a razor
Emotional pain is sharp and profound, likened to the cutting effect of a razor.
Having to watch you go.
Expressing the difficulty of witnessing someone departing.
All that shit we did love
Reflecting on past experiences and emotions shared.
I'd do it all again.
Despite challenges, the speaker is willing to relive those experiences.
Born to raise hell
Describing a rebellious and defiant nature, embracing a wild lifestyle.
Live and die by the gun.
Living and potentially dying in a daring and risky manner, associated with firearms.
We'd get lifted push the pedal down
Engaging in risky behavior, possibly involving substances, with a sense of elevation.
Running out of freeway moving on to the dawn.
Moving forward, leaving behind restrictions and embracing a new beginning.
Broken runaways aint goin home
Referring to individuals who have broken free from societal norms and refuse to return.
Everything we were stealing back when we were heathens.
Recalling a period of rebellious behavior and defiance, reclaiming stolen moments.
Back when we were heathens
Highlighting a past phase of rebelliousness and nonconformity.
Back when we were heathens
Reiterating the idea of a past life marked by defiance and unconventional choices.
Always on the outside and never refined.
Feeling perpetually on the outskirts of societal norms, lacking refinement.
Cold river gonna wash us clean after we cross state lines.
A metaphorical cleansing through a cold river after crossing state lines.
You wer a force to be reckoned with and honey still are.
Acknowledging the strength and impact of someone significant, even in the present.
And honey still are.
Reiterating the enduring strength and significance of the mentioned individual.
We'd get lifted and push the pedal down.
Repeating the theme of elevating experiences, pushing boundaries.
Running out of freeway moving on to the dawn.
Continuing to move forward, leaving behind constraints and embracing the new day.
Broken runaways aint going home.
Re-emphasizing the idea of not returning home, staying outside societal norms.
Everything we were stealing back when we were heathens.
Recalling the rebellious acts committed during the phase of being heathens.
