Queen

from the album

Slaughterhouse

Inspiration

Song tells about the self-made "high-born" character - the one who thinks he is the queen, the king and looks down to anyone else. However, deep inside the character is lonely, sad and desperate. Therefore the arrogant, selfish and self-centred attitude makes this loneliness more darker place despite the fact the character keeps thinking the opposite.

Lyrics

VERSE 1A

Facing the solitude – the kingdom is leading down
Cheater of the master`s soul must be identified
Promises were made to keep but showing off broke the crown
Members of the court start yelling loud – no compromise

VERSE 1B

Ready to smash with a streamer of fake
Humanity failed as a trait – for God`s sake!
Trying to turn emptiness into gold
Too shy to be honest – the soul has been sold

VERSE 2

Roots of the sanity – oh, poor heritage
Boots of arrogance rip open along the seams
Armor made of fear, idyllic complex rout
Crawl as fast as you can – we`re coming back

CHORUS (x2)

Gratitude born as a pray, made as a scale
Betrayal valued as strength – forecast of fail
Have burned down a church makes the feeling belief has been killed
The opacity taken for queen brought by the insane
