Song Meaning of “Pawns & Kings” by I Am King
Pawns & Kings is a song about the struggle between the higher class and the working class. It reflects on the power dynamic between those who have power and money and those who lack it. The lyrics draw from chess, highlighting how those in power are often too consumed with winning the game that they forget about the lives of the pawns, or the working class. The song is about the need for those with power to realize the injustice and to strive for change. It conveys a message of hope, that despite the seeming victory of the powerful, the pawns will eventually triumph and be able to make positive changes in their lives.
