Explanation Of The Song 'Priceless' By King And Country

Everything has a price, in movies you see this example played out in many different ways. Such as, when someone wants something and someone is standing in their way they say, “Everything has a price”, meaning that they can get what they want by giving something else in return that the other person wants even more. For example, if a person wants a piece of land that another person’s family has held for hundreds of years all they would need to do is offer them a price they could not resist. So what does it mean to be Priceless? Something that is priceless would not be able to be let go of at any cost. In my opinion, this is what the song “Priceless” by King and Country is talking about. One might say that the song has a humanistic composition.
He is expressing that he sees a different point view. He also informs His audience that if we could see what He sees, we would understand and believe that there is more to who we are than just what we see. In the third stanza when it says “So When Its Late, You’re Wide Awake Too Much To Take” He is eluding to the fact that he sees our pain and that He is with us (King and Country). He uses symbolism when he says that his people are dressed in white, I believe this refers to His children being clean of sin. Every time He says “At The Sight Of You” right after you hear a chorus of people singing “Oh So Priceless” the song repeats this again after the words “I See It All In You". In this next stanza the writer makes it clear that we are starting over we have an opportunity to become a new person the true person that we were meant to be. And the writer then sings the chorus over and over again hoping to have the words wash over the listener. Even putting in the word “You’re” in front of the word “Irreplaceable” to make the song even more personal. The song ends with the Words “Oh so Priceless” to leave you contemplating on that
