Andy Black: Homecoming King Meaning

Homecoming King Lyrics

Some nights you lie
Some nights you don't
But they all feel the same
Sometimes you wish you could turn to stone
And be perfect always
I, I can't feel like this no more

In the crowd alone cause no one wants to know you
Do they?
Don't...

   Some nights you lie
   Some nights you don't
   But they all feel the same
   Sometimes you wish you could turn to stone
   And be perfect always
   I, I can't feel like this no more
   
   In the crowd alone 'cause no one wants to know you
   Do they?
   Don't they?
   
   Right here but no one's watching
   
   Here comes the invisible man
   That no one turns to see
   I'm just another dumb fool who'll never go down in history
   Yeah, you're standing there with the homecoming king
   Turn the silver spoon into a diamond ring
   Can he make you disappear without anyone noticing?
   Yeah, fuck the homecoming king
   
   You see your life is drawn out
   Don't feel the world that you know
   Caught in the tower singing
   Oh no, that's not the life I chose
   
   Most days you rise and start to fade
   'Cause no one loves you
   Avert their eyes and look away
   Life without virtue
   I, I can't feel like this no more
   
   You walk these halls and feel the same
   'Cause you can't find your place
   
   Right here but no one's watching
   
   Here comes the invisible man
   That no one turns to see
   I'm just another dumb fool who'll never go down in history (hey)
   Yeah, you're standing there with the homecoming king
   Turn the silver spoon into a diamond ring
   Can he make you disappear without anyone noticing?
   
   
   And I stare the fan on the ceiling
   All night, all night
   All these memories won't stop running
   My mind, my mind
   
   And the rats in the walls keeps scratching
   My life, my life
   And all the voices won't stop laughing
   I can't fight again

   The song is about the big lead getting the attention and whom has the ability to make others feel invisible or make other look at others as delinquents that don't belong anywhere

   Andy's video suggests that the song is written from an outcast's perception of a homecoming king being worshiped in high school but after graduation, the real world doesn't turn out to be like they expected. The song is meant to help fans who feel invisible and shed light on the fact that the people who looked down on you will get what's coming to them and the hierarchy will come to an end.

   The meaning of the song is about being an outsider.
