+/- {Plus/Minus} - The Queen of Nothing
Wooden floors and salty seas
In the fields beneath the snow
Monuments to letting go
All the gold buried down
Deep below a dusty crown of what you sow
Drifting through across the sand
Hands dug down beneath the earth
Pockets full of diamonds and
Treasures you do not deserve
All the gold buried down
Deep below a dusty crown of what you sow
I don’t mind
‘cause I won’t be on my knees
Lifting flowers to the trees
Holding fast to the sound
Of my heart tearing apart
There’s a killer on the run
Folding hands beneath the sun
Come this way no don’t be long
The queen of nothing won’t step down
All the gold buried down
Deep below a dusty crown of what you sow
I don’t mind
‘cause I won’t be on my knees
Lifting flowers to the trees
Holding fast to the sound
Of my heart tearing apart
Don’t you know your reign is done
So step down from your throne
Queen of all became none
Subjects gone my heart won’t be the one
Song Description:
edit soundcloudThe chorus, "I don’t mind, ‘cause I won’t be on my knees," speaks to a sense of defiance and strength in the face of adversity. The protagonist refuses to be subservient or submissive, choosing instead to stand tall and face their demons head-on.
The repeated refrain of "Holding fast to the sound of my heart tearing apart" conveys a sense of raw emotion and vulnerability, as the protagonist grapples with the pain of heartbreak and loss.
The song builds to a climactic moment as the protagonist confronts the titular Queen of Nothing, asserting their own agency and reclaiming their power. The final lines, "Don’t you know your reign is done, So step down from your throne, Queen of all became none, Subjects gone my heart won’t be the one," serve as a triumphant declaration of independence and liberation.
Overall, "The Queen of Nothing" is a poignant and introspective track that showcases +/- {Plus/Minus}'s talent for crafting emotionally resonant and thought-provoking music.
