About This Track
'King' by Weezer is a 2008 track from the album 'Weezer (The Red Album) [Deluxe Edition]'. The lyrics place the narrator at a disco for an uneasy, flirtation-adjacent encounter, with an interruption from another man and a rebuke about leaving him some space. There is also a second verse image of the narrator noticing someone drinking cheap beer, keeping the tone observational and slightly fraught, with desire and petty aggression rubbing shoulders. A line early on sets the scene with “I wanted to dance slow”.
"King" is a track by Weezer, from the album Weezer (The Red Album) [Deluxe Edition], released 11th June 2008. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 9 articles about Weezer.
