Charli XCX - Kingdom Lyrics






It's all black
Your kingdom's turned me blank
I'm paper and I'm snow
I'm lost but I can't slow
I'm lost but not alone

It's all light
The dark it burns my eyes
My bones they used to glow
But now I'm throwing stones
I'm losing where to go

Shadows on my back are moving slow
They twist behind like
Quiet leaves in the wind
And as I ride
These horses will they fly
Falling hard
Falling high
Through your arms
Shadows in my head don't need no light
They stay through the night

Without you
My lips are turning blue
The water pulls me down
I'm dreamed on bitter sound
This silence screams so loud

I'm locked up
Your kingdom's like a drug
The chains are made as glass
I'm breaking through the glow
I'm now just stroking off

(One, two, three)

Shadows on my back are moving slow
They twist behind like
Quiet leaves in the wind
And as I ride
These horses will they fly
Falling hard
Falling high
Through your arms
Shadows in my head don't need no light
They stay through the night

Do wear the rose with bloody thought
It lift you up
Then let you fall
Two rivers flowing on the factory halls
Your kingdom's come
It's waiting still
The space between you'll never fill
I tried, but I could not change your mind

I danced around
And I lost you now
I breathe you out
I cast you out
But if I could
I'd turn back around

  1. T.... B....

    What if this is her beautiful interpretation of the affect of tracker jacker venom?

  2. T.... B....

    This song is so beautiful. You rarely find one like this nowadays...

  3. v.... H....

    So Simon is the mockingjay?

  4. M.... k....

    Damn, reminds me of District 12 😭😭😭

  5. L.... C....

    I don’t understand why this song isn’t on iTunes

  6. A.... S....

    Does anyone have an instrumental

  7. a.... d....

    Esta canción puede ser un ejemplo de pieza creativa contemporanea, llena de sonidos nuevos, cambios de ritmo, y sobre todo un tono de voz muy sólido y nítido de Charli XCX que se ve muy bien acompañado de la vibrante y voz de diamante de Simon Le Bon, que aparece durante un innovador cambio de ritmo, cro allegro andante o algo así. No soy músico ni nada, pero aprecio el gusto de los músicos de hcer cosas nuevas.

    Lyrics:

    It's all black
    Your kingdom's turned me blank
    I'm paper and I'm snow
    I'm lost, but I can't slow
    I'm lost, but not alone

    It's so light, the dark it burns my eyes
    My bones, they used to glow
    But now I'm throwing stones
    I'm losing where to go

    Shadows on my back are moving slow
    They twist behind like white leaves in the wind
    And as I ride, these horses will take flight
    Falling hard, falling high, through your arms
    Shadows in my head don't need no light
    They stay through the night

    Without you, my lips are turning blue
    The water pulls me down
    And drowns under your sound
    This silence booms so loud

    I'm locked up, your kingdom's like a drug
    The chains are made of glass
    I'm breaking through your blood
    I'm never strong enough

    Shadows on my back are moving slow
    They twist behind like white leaves in the wind
    And as I ride, these horses will take flight
    Falling hard, falling high, through your arms
    Shadows in my head don't need no light
    They stay through the night

    To every rose with bloody thorns
    It lift you up and lets you fall
    To rivers flowing 'yond the factory halls
    Your kingdom's come, it's waiting still
    The space between you'll never fill
    I tried, but I could not change your mind

    I dance around, and I lost you now
    I breathed you out, I kept you out
    But if I could, I'd turn back around

  10. Q.... P....

    can't play this song on Apple​ music :-?

  11. C.... P....

    *When was this in hunger games*

    C.... P....

    yeah ikr, why do they make soundtracks for movies when the songs dont show up at all in the movies

  12. D.... O....

    I wish this was actually in the movie......

  13. T.... B....

    Piaaaannooooo

  14. d.... ....

    No one sings like simon.

  15. P.... C....

    Yay Charli XCX!

  16. R.... M....

    Anyone listening in 2018??

  17. A.... m....

    Why won’t they release this song in the u.s.a

  18. P.... C....

    Charli XCX sure is kick ass!

  19. A.... C....

    This sounds like bjork

  20. W.... W....

    This song is so beautiful. The imagery of having shadows that need no light to exist. Eerie.

  21. b.... ....

    this song is beautiful i love it's full meaning

  22. J.... T....

    Simons voice 😩😍💕

  23. X.... ....

    Simon❤❤❤

  24. F.... R....

    Charli has such a sweet voice like a little fairy

    F.... R....

    Griffin N yeah now her voice is like twenty octaves lower

    F.... R....

    @Bryan Reyes that's how she wants to sound now. I mean, can you imagine a fairy singing about partying? It's not realistic.

    F.... R....

    Totami Legend honestly I like her voice in this song lmao it reminds me of her sucker charli lmaoooo she has so many good eras tbh

  25. B.... 8....

    This fits the movie because I heard many songs didn't fit the soundtrack. This is basically talking about District 12 being burnt to crisp and doesn't have the light it used to have because something dark and scary made District 12 a graveyard

    B.... 8....

    Baduky 8 it’s actually rather coincidental because Charli wrote this before she knew she was making a song for the movie.

  26. j.... ....

    the background music @ the beginning sounds like the prod in Tightropes - x

  27. m.... m....

    😍😍 me encanta¡¡

  28. S.... M....

    This song so underrated

  29. J.... E....

    i will never understand why this wasn't more popular

    J.... E....

    J E and this one has more views than the one that Charli posted on her channel

  30. C.... L....

    Simon's vocals are awesome and she sounds amazing, but if this is going to "feature" Simon, I would've preferred much more Simon!!!

    C.... L....

    CIRCE LE BON yes more Simon pleaseeee. Nice song. Beautiful voice Charlie.

    C.... L....

    More Simon is always better

  31. C.... L....

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh there he is finally!!! Heaven!!!

  32. C.... L....

    I am halfway through the song... wtf??? Where is Simon???

  33. V.... ....

    This is real good pop, thats pop!

  34. c.... v....

    simon lebon excelente registro en esta cancion ¡¡¡¡¡ Duran Duran

  35. m.... ....

    This song is amazing. One of the best songs I've heard

  36. T.... X....

    This song deserved a damn Grammy!!!

    T.... X....

    it's so good

    T.... X....

    Troy Barrett agreed

    T.... X....

    True 🔥

  37. T.... O....

    Rostam just slayed the instrumentation

  38. B.... B....
