About

Basically the song is about a woman from a low income area who wants to see the world beyond her own

Lyrics

Intro

Mm-mm

Yeah

Verse 1

Concrete blocks and broken glass

This estate was built to last

But I wasn't

Mum said keep your head down low

Don't let the world around you know

That you want something

Pre-Chorus

But I feel it in my chest

This burning need for something west

Something past the motorway

A different kind of Monday

Chorus

I wanna see the world beyond this town

I wanna tear these walls and ceilings down

They built this cage but I was born to roam

I'm taking back the kingdom from my bones

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I'm taking back the kingdom from my bones

Verse 2

They told me girls like us don't fly

We're meant to stay and watch the sky

From the pavement

But I've got blisters on my feet

And every single one's a beat

For my own statement

Pre-Chorus

So I'll pocket all my fears

And I'll walk right through the years

With nothing but a map

And a heart that won't collapse

Chorus

I wanna see the world beyond this town

I wanna tear these walls and ceilings down

They built this cage but I was born to roam

I'm taking back the kingdom from my bones

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I'm taking back the kingdom from my bones

Bridge

And I don't know where I'm going

But I know I'm going there

And I don't know what I'll find

But I know I'll find it somewhere

Somewhere far from here

Somewhere I can breathe

Guitar Solo

Chorus

I wanna see the world beyond this town

I wanna tear these walls and ceilings down

They built this cage but I was born to roam

I'm taking back the kingdom from my bones

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I'm taking back the kingdom from my bones

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I'm taking back the kingdom from my bones
