Kings Of Leon Finally Reveal Meaning Behind ‘Sex On Fire’ & It’ll Blow Your Mind
REMAINING illusive to music scribes, with its elusively abstruse lyrical quality and refusal to reveal its thesis on first or 1,000th listen, King of Leon’s Sex On Fire is perhaps the form’s most densely compacted and complex song, pregnant with hidden meaning.
But now the band has finally broken its silence on its masterpiece.
“It’s about fuckin'” said writer Caleb Followill, in an explanation 17 years after the touchstone song for millennials was first released, sending shockwaves through the industry, expert and fan alike.
“We’re surprised no one figured it out, or made jokes about STDS, we thought the meaning was obvious we had no idea we were operating on such a high plain of esoteric lyrics”.
The revelation is being felt across the world today.
“Fuck, my 500 page book all about how it’s actually about the implementation by the Roman Empire of sewage and drainage systems in Byzantine heartlands such as Constantinople is out next week, I’m ruined,” shared one academic.
“Uh, thanks for clearing that up 17 years later and all but I like my music dumb downed and easy to digest, if I wanted something hard to understand I’d try to plug in a USB stick on first attempt,” shared one former Kings of Leon fan, who fell out of love with band when they morphed into a high-brow elitist act for pretentious assholes.
