Versailles
Kingdom's Burden: Lost in Versailles
Lyrics
I wear this crown but it don't feel mine
I bear the responsibilities of a crown, but it doesn't bring me fulfillment.
And it wears on me all of the time.
The burden of wearing this crown affects me constantly.
They say it's glorious this life of mine
Despite what others say about the splendor of my life, it doesn't feel glorious to me.
All alone in this kingdom of Versailles.
I feel isolated and lonely in this kingdom, possibly a metaphorical Versailles.
My Henriette, where did you go?
A reference to someone named Henriette, questioning their absence.
I need you now to guide me home.
The speaker expresses a need for guidance from Henriette to find their way home.
To guide me home.
Repetition of the plea for guidance from Henriette.
To guide me home.
Continued repetition emphasizing the importance of being guided home.
To guide me home.
Further emphasis on the desire for guidance and a sense of belonging.
To guide me home.
Continuation of the plea for Henriette's guidance and support.
I built these walls to shield all I love
The speaker built protective walls around what they love, guided by a higher purpose.
Guided by visions from above.
The construction of these walls was influenced by visions from above.
And now I'm locked right inside with
The speaker is now confined within these walls with those who wish harm upon them.
The ones who want the end for me.
The presence of individuals who seek the speaker's downfall is acknowledged.
And it wears on me.
The burden and pressure of the situation weigh heavily on the speaker.
Oh, it wears on me.
Reiteration of the emotional toll taken by the circumstances.
My Henriette, where did you go?
Repetition of the inquiry about Henriette's whereabouts.
I need you now to guide me home.
The plea for guidance from Henriette is restated in the context of the current difficulties.
To guide me home.
Repetition of the desire to be guided home by Henriette.
To guide me home.
Continued emphasis on the need for Henriette's guidance and support.
To guide me home.
Reiteration of the plea for Henriette's assistance in finding the way home.
To guide me home.
Continuation of the plea for guidance, expressing the importance of finding the way home.
