THE NEW CITIZEN KANE
Killer Charisma by THE NEW CITIZEN KANE is one of those tracks that manages to combine uplifting energy with the deep message of embracing life to the fullest. It’s about breaking oneself from the chains of routine and negativity to start living your life and not just breathe and live. The central idea of this track is how an absence of passion, excitement, and charisma may be very lethal and can make life dreary and shallow.
The song offsets this sublime experience of living with daily, mechanical routines. All those little things that give happiness and make a person feel alive are told of: love, music, ice cream, starry skies. the difference a person makes resides in the small things. A ring of urgency in the words to awaken the listener that it is running out. The lines that question the importance of money, work, and games would seem to imply that a search for material success or waste of time with meaningless distractions fool people about what’s really important.
One of the main lyrics is an appeal to action-dance, feel the music, and forget about problems. The song does not describe a problem but offers its solution in return. Music is presented as an influential force able to change one’s outlook and help clean one’s mind and bring joy. Such ideas are repeated over and over again, almost as if they are some mantra at an injunction to take control of life.
What really sets “Killer Charisma” apart is how it’s so fun while being wise at the same time. Not only motivational, the lyrics are pretty relatable, too, because who doesn’t have those moments when the energy’s down or the routine catches up. THE NEW CITIZEN KANE puts it in such a personal and universal way; it’s just so easy to connect with.
Overall, it is to remind us to live in the moment and find happiness; do not take life for granted. It’s a positive anthem of empowerment that urges people to find their charisma and let it shine before it’s too late.
