Your Majesty
Your Majesty: A Lyrical Tale of Integrity and Disillusionment
Lyrics
You came from DunLaoghaire town where the ferry waits to go
You originated from DunLaoghaire town, known for its ferry departing to other places.
Where the wind blows so cold but not so gently off the sea
In DunLaoghaire, the wind blows coldly from the sea.
You came from DunLaoghaire town to the center of the world
You moved from DunLaoghaire to a significant location in the world.
Where you changed the hearts of everyone so easily
You easily influenced and changed the hearts of everyone in that place.
Then you crossed the Irish sea to see London and beyond
You traveled across the Irish Sea, exploring London and beyond.
Where your star it rose and rose until you shone so bright
Your fame and influence grew until you became very prominent.
Then you crossed the Irish sea and you saved a million lives
You crossed the Irish Sea again and saved a million lives.
But you let the ones who caused it all make you their knight
Despite your heroic acts, you allowed those who caused the problems to honor you as their knight.
All you had to do, all you had to do was say
You had a simple task, and all you needed to do was speak up.
All you had to do, all you had to do was say
Reiteration of the simplicity of the required action.
Your Majesty, your Majesty shove your OBE
An expression of disdain towards receiving an OBE (Order of the British Empire).
Your Majesty, your Majesty shove your OBE
Repetition of the rejection of the OBE with a plea to the Majesty.
Your Majesty, your Majesty shove your OBE
Continued rejection of the OBE.
Shove your OBE your Majesty
A direct command to the Majesty to reject the Order of the British Empire.
Every band with half a note likes to play that rebel card
Many bands play the rebellious card with minimal musical skill.
They like to act so hip and radical but then
Bands act cool and radical but eventually seek approval.
Every band with half a note loves to whine about the rich
Bands complain about the wealthy, yet crave their validation.
But you'll still seek their approval in the end
Despite criticism, there is a desire for approval from the wealthy.
Is it true that all success has the power to corrupt us
Questioning whether success has the potential to corrupt individuals.
Or does everyone become what they've despised
Reflecting on whether everyone becomes what they once despised.
Is it true that all success makes you feel so insecure
Suggesting that success can make one feel insecure and seek patronization.
That you need to line up and be patronized
The need for validation might lead to conforming and being patronized.
