Devotion cover
02. Little Tyrants
Album: Devotion
Artist: Anberlin
         
 

Soft spoken, straight forward
Tell me all the ways in which you feel
So broken lying helpless, can you even tell me what’s for real
Great divine, great divide, great divine

Am I alive, somebody tell me, am I alive?
You are the king of an island of one
Alone in a world that lost it’s only black sun
You are the king of an island of one
Lil’ tyrant soon to come undone
Well all hail the king

No motives just cover
Justify the things that come to mind
All pictures no color
All the wrong that you think you’ve made right
Dead inside, yours is mine, dead inside

Are you alive? Somebody help me, are you alive?
You are the king of an island of one
Alone in a world that lost it’s only black sun
You are the king of an island of one
Lil’ tyrant soon to come undone
Well all hail the king



Behind the Song:
'This song is about self centered people who have isolated themselves on an island of superiority. It makes no sense to me to think yourself better than someone else, this archaic life only leads to a life where you end up with no friends or loved ones on your death bed. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves. Black sun is a reference to Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden.' -- Stephen Christian
