WHY I DON'T HEAD INTO A DELUSIONAL SUNSET?

I love this song, and I also think that Sara Bareilles is sexee! However, this is my interpretation of "King of Anything". The ultimate person that can interpret "King of Anything" is Sara herself.

Now, my analysis:

Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table

While I look outside

So many things I’d say if only I were able

But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

It is apparent that Sara didn't want to be pigeonholed. Who wants to be? Nobody wanted to be defined as somebody they're not. It has unfortunately been that way for centuries. Name your group, and everybody defines others as something they're not.
 
You’ve got opinions, man

We’re all entitled to ‘em, but I never asked

So let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste anymore of mine

And get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe, but I’m not drowning

There’s no one here to save

Don't bother to save Sara. Don't bother to save anybody else by trying to be condescending, and think that your opinion is superior to anybody else.
 
Who cares if you disagree?

You are not me

Who made you king of anything?

So you dare tell me who to be?

Who died and made you king of anything?

This is clearly the tactics of sociopaths. There are still people in the record industry that feel that women are sex objects, dogs/bitches, play-things, people to be easily manipulated, etc. These same sons of bitches are the ones that encouraged her to write "Love Song". Women are your daughters, wives, mothers, aunts, grandmothers, etc. They gave birth to you. They changed your diapers, bathed you, fed you, clothed you, helped you with your homework, took you to school and to church, etc. John Mayer had a hit song years ago telling "fathers, be good to your daughters..." The ultimate sociopaths are O. J. Simpson, Phil Spector, Scott Peterson, Brian David Mitchell, Phillip Garrido, etc. It's because most men are not taught since birth that women are human beings that care, and also share a place with men in society. These assholes that are telling Sara to be somebody else couldn't cut it as a singer and/or a songwriter themselves. They think they know everything, but don't know shit. Humility is clearly absent in these assholes. "Who died and made you king of anything" is a variant of "who died and made you king" or "who died and made you God?" Of course this not limited to women-haters. The prisons are full of them, because they let it go to their heads, and they get caught. They're like the fictitious Gordon Gecko. Thousands of polticians are also like this, and it's because we are in too many wars, and the economy is in the toilet, because they play for the highest bidder instead of serving the people.
 
You sound so innocent, all full of good intent

Swear you know best

But you expect me to jump up on board with you

And ride off into your delusional sunset

"Delusional Sunset?" Who do I picture as that? Glenn "Vick's Under the Eyes" Beck interposed on a sun during a sunset. People like Beck are State Hospital patients.

I’m not the one who’s lost with no direction

But you’ll never see

You’re so busy making maps with my name on them in all caps

You got the talking down, just not the listening

It reminds me of of the people who type in all caps thinking they know all the shit, but actually don't know shit. They're like the fake "experts" who think they know everything, but never studied the subject. They think they know everything because they think they're all shit. They are reverse King Midases, everything they touch turns to shit. Look at the United States since 1994.
 
And who cares if you disagree?

You are not me

Who made you king of anything?

So you dare tell me who to be?

Who died and made you king of anything?

All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy

While I just hurt and hide

Waiting for someone to tell me it’s my turn to decide

I don't know why Sara had to "hurt and hide". This is certainly an issue only for her to disclose. This is certainly not just an issue over what song to write and perform. It goes back to the original premise that she didn't want to be pigoenholed and redefined as somebody she is not.

So you dare tell me who to be?

Who died and made you king of anything?

Let me hold your crown, babe.

What Sara is really saying is she has the record industry by the balls and dangling them from the high rise.

The entire song also has a political message. It tells these Tea Baggers that they can't demean and act against people who are different than you. The whole problem is that Tea Baggers are a bunch of sociopathic dumb stupid Nazi bunch of bull shitters clearly beholden to Corporate America. They want to ban Islam, deport all "Mexicans", keep workers unemployed where our jobs are shipped overseas for slave wages, gut our education system, and starve our seniors to death. SORRY! ALL AMERICANS WILL NOT JOIN THE GOP'S DELUSIONAL SUNSET! AMEN!
