Pennies to the Queen
Deception's Dance: Unmasking the Illusion in Airship Caravan's Pennies to the Queen
Lyrics
He knows when he walks in the room
He is aware of his presence when entering a room.
And no one makes a sound
The room becomes silent as he enters.
I must be looking for some other place
He feels out of place and searches for a different environment.
I don't know anybody around
He is unfamiliar with the people present.
Look behind those cold blue eyes
Asking someone to look into his seemingly emotionless eyes and describe what they observe.
Tell me what you see
Asking for an analysis of what lies beyond the cold exterior.
Proud to live a lie
Expressing pride in living a false life.
And send pennies to the queen
Ironically sending money to the queen while living a deceitful existence.
He lives in a gated community
Resides in an exclusive, protected community.
In hopes it can block out his mind
He hopes that the gated community will shield him from confronting his thoughts.
He knows all his homegrown philosophy
He is knowledgeable about his personally adopted beliefs.
And how two and two make five
He understands and accepts contradictions, even when illogical.
Look behind those cold blue eyes
Repeating the request to look into his eyes for a deeper understanding.
Tell me what you see
Reiterating the call for analysis beyond the surface.
Proud to live a lie
Expressing pride in maintaining a false image.
And send pennies to the queen
Continuing the ironic act of contributing to the monarchy while living a deceptive life.
He thinks that he's so above it
Believes he is morally superior, avoiding complexities.
Won't look past the black and the white
Refuses to see beyond apparent distinctions.
Mr. Jones had a few blind spots
Reference to Mr. Jones, acknowledging his blind spots in understanding.
Where he always knows what's right
He believes he always knows what is right despite blind spots.
Look behind those cold blue eyes
Repeating the request to examine his eyes, emphasizing the space within.
And all that's in between
Considering everything between the extremes when looking into his eyes.
Proud to live a lie
Expressing pride in living a false life.
And send pennies to the queen
Continuing the ironic act of contributing to the monarchy while living a deceptive life.
