superWAV - The King

Collaborating across the Atlantic Ocean, from Austria to the US: This is how we write and produce our songs. And now – thanks to the pandemic – also our music videos! But the question was: How?
Years ago we used to play in the band RAW JAW together. And we both still like the raw approach to creating. So we figured: Smartphones are great! That's enough! Let's just each film ourselves at home in front of a white wall and see where we get from there, period. No superfluous knickknacks, just honest and direct energy. This is us. Far apart together.
"The King" is the first single of our next EP. In this song we explore the dark side of this archetype and project it into our daily lives: the misuse of power, tyranny, unhealthy self-love. "The Matrix" seems to be as up-to-date as it ever was. Which world do we want to live in?

The King

Cocky politician
Wants to be a king
A critical condition
Will you kiss the signet ring?

Citizen or simpleton?
Are we aware or just conking out?
Yeah, makes me wonder what it’s all about
Pretend lies are true, love to spin the new
Red or blue

A new truth, I got reasonable doubt
‘Cause in truth your conscience checked out
Up to you: Which pill will you choose?
Red Or Blue

So if you take the red pill
The brutal truth is yours
While you choosing the blue pill
Is what the king prefers

Gullible or culpable?
Are we sure or just conking out?
Time to choose: red or blue

A new truth, I got reasonable doubt
‘Cause in truth your conscience checked out
Take it or leave it
We go and go and comatose we go
So which life will you choose: red or blue?

Feels like malnutrition
When leaders are deranged
High road to perdition
If what is true can change
Can you believe it?

Which pill shall I bring
It’s up to you
Can you believe it?
Which pill shall I bring
It’s up to you
Say, say: red or blue?

A new truth, I got reasonable doubt
‘Cause in truth your conscience checked out
Up to you: Which pill will you choose?
Which life will you choose?
Red Or Blue

Cocky politician
Thinks he is a king
So now it’s up to us dear
Which pill shall I bring: red or blue?
