In "Old Song," King Princess admits a long-hidden need behind a forced smile, finally confessing that falling asleep beside this person means falling for them completely. The contrast between wearing silver and the other wearing gold hints at mismatched identities or phases, yet the pull remains physical and consuming. Ghosts appear as lost, harmless presences, suggesting past fears can be soothed by trust. The repeated plea to be intoxicated captures a desire to be overwhelmed by love rather than stay guarded, surrendering to the one they need.
Old Song Lyrics by King Princess
Hey, you
Whatever you’ve been thinking ’bout
I’m thinking it too
It’s like this fake smile
Turns out I’ve been really holding on for a while
And then you dressed up, sitting on your bed
Like give it to me
‘Cause when you fall asleep
You know I fell for you
And you’re the one I need
You’re the one I need
Intoxicate me
Ghosts come
But you say they’re just lost
They’re not gonna hurt no one
And change knows
I’ve been wearing silver and you’ve been in gold
And then you dressed up, sitting on my bed
Like give it to me
‘Cause when you fall asleep
You know I fell for you
You’re the one I need
You’re the one I need
‘Cause when you fall asleep
You know I fell for you
You’re the one I need
Intoxicate me
(Intoxicate me)
(Intoxicate me)
(‘Cause when you fall asleep)
(Intoxicate me)
(Intoxicate me)
(‘Cause when you fall asleep)
(Intoxicate me)
(Intoxicate me)
(Intoxicate me)
(Intoxicate me)
