OKAY SO. admittedly i fucking hateddddddddd that tiktok got hold of the fucking song because i did not agree with how people were like portraying the Soldier, Poet and King aspect, mostly because they were just associating the character to each WORD without the context of the song which is FINE but also it pissed me off because as we all know by now this album means a lot to me. SO to combat that, I'll like briefly describe what The soldier, poet and King mean to ME based on the context of the actual song not just the words "soldier", "poet" and "king".

Soldier

"There will come a soldier who carries a mighty sword, He will tear your city down"

TO ME this is the easiest one to understand. A soldier, you're a warrior. You take orders, you hold a mighty sword you bring down all your enemies. you're a fighter by nature, possibly argumentative, stubborn, STRONG and very rarely show weakness. You bring entire cities to the ground. you do not necessarily protect, but you fight and battle and you win.

Poet

"There will come a poet whose weapon is His word, He will slay you with His tongue"

This one is pretty straightforward also but can be easily misinterpreted as well. Because you are the poet, it does not mean you do not fight. Your strength lies in your words, in the way you're able to captivate and inspire, in the creativity and the community of song and praise. You are wise, a thinker, an intellectual who watches the way of the world and records what you see with your voice and your words. You're a historian, you're what's left behind when the dust settles, you create stories and songs that live on for generations, that teach and inspire future generations. When you speak, people quiet down and listen.

King-

"There will come a ruler whose brow is laid in thorn, Smeared with oil like David's boy"

This one by far is the hardest to describe and assign and i feel it should be because, not everyone is going to be a "king" of sorts. This, TO ME, means a leader but not one that has been chosen per say. One that comes and knows what should be done and takes action without fear, without judgment. A "SAVIOR" because as we have probably guessed these lyrics are referencing Jesus Christ. This is a person who willingly and knowingly sacrifices for the greater good . This is a person who is selfless, who comes from nothing and works their way up to being revered. This is the martyr of sorts, the king/queen who has been anointed because they have suffered greatly. And the suffering must come with no expectation of a reward. It is very very rare that the king gets a happy ending. It is NOT a classification that should be coveted. To be the King means to suffer greatly for the good of the ones you care about, with and i cannot stress this enough, NO EXPECTATION OF RETURNED RESPECT, TREASURE, OR VALIDATION. this person does what needs to be done simply because it is what SHOULD be done. This person carries this burden not because it was forced on them but because it was simultaneously destined for them but dooms them in the process.

also a DISCLAIMER- i am not at ALL trying to attribute myself or any of my silly selfship variants as Jesus Christ himself. Christians please do NOT come for me. I am not saying im Jesus Christ. i would never say that. it is disrespectful and i understand that.

That being said, here's the classifications of marq self inserts.
