about

The lyrics of this song were written in a half dream state in a sweaty loft in Sicily. The words simply flowed out as I was waking from a dream, at which point I grabbed my notebook and scribbled them down. Later, in a Berlin apartment, the chords of the chorus were softly played on the piano by my bandmate Armin.

It's a story about a woman who looks back on her life to feel a sense of disappointment and regret, and who dreams of making her way to some kind of imagined afterlife where she'll forever bask in the success she missed out on in life, where she'll be the queen.

lyrics

There once was a girl
Who had a bad day
And she fell like a dog in the drain
Her high heeled shoes were velvety red
And they caused her nothing but pain
And she swore that day she would take revenge
On her enemies

She'd worked she'd toiled
Her youth had been spoiled
She'd bet every penny on this
She'd had it all planned
She'd done all the work
And then somehow it all turned to shit
And she swore that day
She would take revenge
On her enemies

I want a lover I don't want a friend
I just want all of the things to myself in the end
I want courage I want control
I want to make it before I grow old
I won't be followed and I won't be led
I won't believe all the lies I am fed
I'll be remembered long after I'm dead
I'll be the Queen

Twisted and jaded
Persistence has faded
She's old enough now
To look back and see all those
Mistakes where she's made them
They seem clear as day now
She doesn't know how she could be
So naiive but now it's too late
And she knows what to do

Give me that bottle
Or load me a gun
Don't be so miserable
This could be fun
It will be over
Before the new sun
Then I'll be gone
I'll be with the stars
Where I belong
Or out in the deep
Somewhere you can't reach me
I'll be the treasure you could never keep
At least in my dreams
I'll be the queen

Lay me down my weary head
Can't you see I need my rest
