Keane: The Frog Prince Meaning

The Frog Prince Lyrics

An old fairytale told me
The simple heart will be prized again
A toad will be our king
And ugly ogres are heroes

Then you'll shake
Your fist at the sky
"Oh why did I rely
On fashions and small fry?"

All promises broken
Feed your...

   To the person who posted the...."what artist....what lyrics....You've wandered so far from the person you are, let go brother cause now we know" here are the lyrics to the song which is called "The Frog Prince" by Keana
   
   An old fairytale told me
   The simple heart will be prized again
   A toad will be our king
   And ugly ogres are heroes
   
   Then you'll shake
   Your fist at the sky
   "Oh why did I rely
   On fashions and small fry?"
   
   All promises broken
   Feed your people or lose your throne
   And forfeit your whole kingdom
   I'd sooner lose it than still live in it alone
   
   You were our golden child
   But the gentle and the mild
   Inherit the earth, while
   
   Your prince's crown
   Cracks and falls down
   Your castle hollow and cold
   You've wandered so far
   From the person you are
   Let go brother, let go
   Cos now we all know
   
   Soon, someone will put a spell on you
   Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know
   You will lie in a deep sleep
   That's when
   
   Your prince's crown
   Cracks and falls down
   Your castle hollow and cold
   You've wandered so far
   From the person you are
   Let go brother, let go
   Cos now we all know

   Although Tim (composer) says it's about frontmen in other bands, I think it's about his own bandmate and Keane frontman, Tom Chaplin. It's a long story
   
   *An old fairytale told me the simple heart will be prized again (his own songs are fairytales, and it's his heart).
   *A toad will be our king and ugly ogres are heroes (the toad, Tom, the ogres, Tim and Richard).
   *Feed (with music) your people (fans) don't lose your throne (singer)
   *And fortreit your whole kingdom (Keane) I'd sooner lose it than still live in it alone (he wouldn't make it alone, without Tom as the frontman).
   *You were our golden child (they used to adore Tom until he went wrong)
   *Your prince's crown cracks and falls down (your fame has fallen)
   *You've wandered so far from the person so are (obvious)
   *Let go brother, let go coz now we all know (let go you're sick and tired of this band: Tom had said before that)
