Story
“Queen” is a deeply emotional song that emerged from a place of anger, bitterness, denial, and disbelief following the end of a long-term relationship. After spending over a decade with someone you loved immensely, the breakup left you grappling with intense feelings of loss and betrayal. This song captures the raw emotions you experienced during that difficult time.
The central theme of the song revolves around the idea that the woman you loved was a queen, but only because of the crown you placed on her head. This metaphor reflects the deep sense of disillusionment you felt, as you realized that much of her perceived greatness was a result of your own love and admiration.
As you navigated through the stages of grief, you found yourself reflecting on her life and the choices she made. The song paints a picture of her surrounded by her ideals, always confident in her ability to succeed. Despite the many challenges and fleeting romances she encountered, she remained resilient and determined.
The song also delves into the solitude and emptiness she faced after the breakup. It describes her attempts to find solace in familiar routines and distractions, but ultimately, she is left feeling lost and broken. The imagery of creaking doors, open windows, and lighting cigarettes conveys a sense of loneliness and introspection. All a reflection of your own experiences you were projecting onto her hoping she too was suffering.
Throughout the song, you express a lingering curiosity about her well-being and identity. The repeated refrain of wondering where she is, how she is, and who she is now, underscores the unresolved feelings and the lasting impact she had on your life.
In the end, “Queen” is a reflection on the fleeting nature of love and the pain of losing someone who once meant everything to you. It’s a deep reminder of the emotional journey you went through and the lasting scars left by a love that was both beautiful and heart breaking.
Lyrics
“Poorest of the Poor” is an emotional reflection on the devastating impact of the royal massacre in Nepal and the ensuing socio-political unrest. The song, set to a reggae rhythm with subtle Eastern musical influences, was produced by Fully Fullwood, a notable figure who once played with Bob Marley, adding a special touch to its production.
The lyrics convey a deep sense of sorrow and helplessness, capturing the silent protests and the unspoken suffering of the Nepali people. The repeated refrain “We are the poorest of the poor” underscores the pervasive poverty and despair that gripped the nation. The song speaks to the disillusionment with political leaders who failed to address the needs of the people, leading to a cycle of violence and loss.
Through haunting imagery and heartfelt words, the song tells the story of a kingdom once known for peace, now overshadowed by starvation and silence. It highlights the resilience of the people, who, despite their suffering, continue to endure. The song also emphasizes the unity and shared humanity of the Nepali people, urging listeners to recognize the common bonds that connect them.
