In this evocative track by Kings of Leon, the lyrics weave a narrative of struggle, entrapment, and an unyielding quest for freedom. The protagonist appears ensnared in a cycle of conflict and disillusionment, symbolized by imagery such as being "caught in the middle of the night" and facing a "hurricane fight." The recurring motif of the reverend on the radio suggests a voice of guidance or authority that remains distant and unattainable. Despite external pressures and internal turmoil, both hearts—yours and mine—steadfastly refuse to relinquish their grip on hope and connection. This song poignantly captures the tension between seeking solace in familiar yet elusive sources of comfort while grappling with personal battles that demand resilience.
Reverend
Lyrics
On the limb cut down in the middle of the night caught in a trap
Cursed by the crown of the wandering man who was never coming back
Stuck on the line spinning all of his time with his back to the throne
With the flash of the round everybody in town said leave me alone
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
Your heart will never say so
Your heart will never let you go
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let you go
I got caught in the middle of a hurricane fight facing the ground
Beast to the wild with the porcelain smile as it passes around
The truth in the skies from the billowing eyes isn't working on me
Don't you think you gotta give me
Give me something I want
Give me something I need
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
Your heart will never say so
Your heart will never let you go
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let you go
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
Your heart will never say so
Your heart will never let you go
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let you go
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let you go
