THE QUEEN AND I As recorded by the Gym Class Heroes (From the 2006 Album AS CRUEL AS SCHOOL CHILDREN) [Intro] [Verse 1] I love it how she breathes booze in the mornin’ Man it’s so sexy how she can’t remember last night I made a fatal mistake of letting her drink again But who the hell am I to tell her how to live her life? And if you could put dumb in a shot glass I’m just another lush who’s had one too many in me And please not enough I see you stand there settle for anything anything’s better than lettin’ her Think she could do better than me She’ll come around eventually Cause baby girl’s a queen But the queen’s just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves And she’s made me a fiend I’m going through withdrawals but I got nothing to lose [Chorus] Oh no She’s at the bottom of that bottle She’s only one more swallow From being oh so hollow (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Bravo she’s at the bottom of that bottle She’s only one more swallow From being oh so hollow [Verse 2] I find it funny she can never find her car keys Immediately after telling me she can’t take it She makes the cutest faces when she screams obscenities And slurs her words because she’s never not inebriated And the front page headline read "Let the girl go you know you can do better" It’s bad when the fact that you can’t have her Is the reason you sweat her Don’t let her take advantage of you Like the other girls let her You better cut your losses now buddy Cause baby girl’s a queen But the queen’s just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves And she’s made me a fiend I’m going through withdrawals but I got nothing to lose [Chorus] Oh no She’s at the bottom of that bottle She’s only one more swallow From being oh so hollow (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Bravo she’s at the bottom of that bottle She’s only one more swallow From being oh so hollow [Verse 3] Drown yourself it’s not worth keeping me Just put it down right now and bow out gracefully (Cause baby girl’s a queen Drown yourself it’s not worth keeping me Just put it down right now and bow out gracefully [Interlude] [Hook] Oh no She’s at the bottom of that bottle She’s only one more swallow From being oh so hollow (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Bravo she’s at the bottom of that bottle She’s only one more swallow From being oh so hollow Hey hey hey

À propos de la chanson

La chanson parle d'une relation tumultueuse où l'un des partenaires, considéré comme une reine, semble être piégé dans un cycle d'alcool et de désespoir. Le narrateur décrit comment sa partenaire se perd dans l'alcool, délaissant ses responsabilités et ses capacités à mener sa vie. Il se sent désarmé, conscient qu'il doit prendre une décision pour sa propre santé, mais il reste attaché à elle, espérant qu'elle finira par le choisir. En toile de fond, il y a une lutte contre la dépendance, le regret et une réflexion sur la valeur personnelle. Le contexte évoqué touche à des thèmes de dépendance et de perte de soi dans une relation amoureuse. On y voit comment l’amour peut parfois mener à des choix destructeurs, tant pour soi que pour l'autre. C'est une réalité crue de l'amour, où les promesses et les espoirs se mêlent à des comportements autodestructeurs.
