Do you got to be a queen all your life?

Questioning if being a queen is a lifelong role.

Are you gonna take that crown off your head?

Asking if the person will relinquish the queen's crown.

Are you ever gonna come to bed?

Wondering if the person will spend time together in bed.

Do you got to be a queen all your life?

Reiteration of questioning the permanence of being a queen.


Do you plan on speaking in this year?

Inquiring about the person's communication plans for the year.

Are you gonna keep everything inside?

Asking if emotions will be kept hidden.

Are you gonna keep all your great thoughts to yourself?

Questioning whether the person will share their profound thoughts.

Do you got to be a queen all your life?

Repeating the inquiry about lifelong queenhood.


Get off your throne, I'm alone

Encouraging the person to step down from their throne as the speaker is alone.

Get off your throne

Reiteration of the plea to step down from the throne.

I'm walking and moaning

Describing the speaker's actions of walking and moaning.

I'm dying alone

Expressing a sense of loneliness and impending death.


Do you got to be a queen all your life?

Repeating the question about lifelong queenhood.

Do you got to cake on one more layer of make-up everyday?

Asking if the person continuously applies makeup.

Are you ever gonna tell me what you want me to do or say?

Inquiring whether the person will communicate their desires.

Do you gotta be a queen all your life?

Reiteration of questioning the permanence of being a queen.
