The weapons amassed to break us made us Kings and queens, kings and queens
Kings and Queens--DJ Shadow ft. Run the Jewels
I've had this on repeat for most of the past two days and damn if I don't hear different meanings behind the lyrics every time it comes on. The first verse really hit me in the face, about a dog who faces either jumping off a building and dying or starving to death.
Jumped for his life, lost it instead Didn't like heights, I gotta guess Liked starving to death even less
And Fluffy jumped. This song makes me really think about how I don't want to live to die and die to live. I want to live to live. That sounds really stupid but I want to live. The chorus has beautiful vocals from iamlashell and Vursatyl, and beautiful might be an understatement here, because it's almost heavenly. It's a great song, maybe one of my new favorites.
