Crown Of Flames (Dabi) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Dabi expresses deep frustration and betrayal towards his father, Endeavor. He feels abandoned, asking where his dad went when he really needed him, implying that he’s been left to struggle alone. Dabi’s anger grows as he reflects on his father’s failure to be there, using the metaphor of leaving for milk and taking a long, pointless route. He likens himself to the fallen apple from a tree, suggesting that his father’s flaws are inherited and that they share a toxic connection. The line about gods dying on the news shows Dabi’s desire to expose his father’s hypocrisy; Endeavor seeks fame while ignoring his family’s suffering. Dabi also reveals that he’s not the only one with a gun, indicating that he’s ready to retaliate against those who have hurt him. The notion of being an “op,” or opponent, signifies that Dabi sees Endeavor as his enemy rather than a father. He knows that his dad wants a clean slate but rejects the idea of forgiveness, stating he’ll forget and retaliate against those who have wronged him. The references to stealing and being in a “Vanguard” hint at his rebellious nature and determination to rise against the system. He envisions himself as part of the League of Villains, ready to dance on his father’s grave, suggesting a desire for revenge that goes beyond mere confrontation. The harsh language and aggressive imagery reflect Dabi’s internal struggle and the fiery rage he feels, marking a significant emotional break from his father’s influence.
