YOUR STUPID LITTLE KINGDOM is a song about ego attachment and can be open to interpretation. We wrote the song to mean one thing, but we left it up to the listener to decide what it’s really about. The video portrays two men: one a prisoner and the other a king, yet both end up in the same place.
There is lots of male nudity in this video, both for the aesthetic and the symbol that when men are naked, they are equals. And as the world crumbles around them, they finally realize what’s important.
Pairs well with FATE and PROJECTION.
YOUR STUPID LITTLE KINGDOM Lyrics
You built your walls out of silver and stone,
A fortress of numbers, but you live all alone.
Told your children fables, wrapped in gold lies,
But they broke the crown and saw through your disguise.
Every banquet’s empty, every toast is cold,
You can’t buy love with the riches you stole.
Your stupid little kingdom is crumbling down,
Princes and princesses all ran out of town.
No banners, no heirs, no voices to sing,
Just echoes in a castle built for a king.
You promised them crowns, you promised them thrones,
But left them with curses and blood in the stones.
They’re roaming the wilds, they’re breaking the chains,
Runaway royals who spit on your name.
All your gold is heavy, it drags you deep,
But no one’s around to watch you weep.
Your stupid little kingdom is falling apart,
The moat is dry, and it mirrors your heart.
The princes and princesses won’t kiss your ring,
They’ve burned every scroll, they’ve silenced the king.
Castles crack when the truth gets loud,
Thrones collapse when you’ve lost the crowd.
You lied to your blood, you lied to yourself,
Now you sit with your ghosts and your rotting wealth.
No empire lasts when it’s built on deceit,
Your crown is a shackle, your reign’s obsolete.
Your stupid little kingdom is dust in the wind,
The story is over, the book won’t rescind.
Princes and princesses never look back,
They left you to choke in your own cul-de-sac.
Your castle’s a coffin, your crown is a chain,
Your stupid little kingdom will never reign.
