Lyrics
It's the witching hour and I cast my spell
Refers to a mystical time, and the singer expressing the act of casting a spell.
you will wake up from this walking slumber you call life
Encouraging someone to awaken from a passive and unfulfilling existence.
Lilac Wine and a swing on a vine remind me of
Evokes a sense of nostalgia with Lilac Wine and a swing, reminiscing about potential freedom.
how it could be if I set you free
Imagining a different life if the person is set free.
waiting for you to wake my love,
Expressing anticipation for the person to awaken and reach higher spiritual levels.
waiting for you to step up,
-waiting for you to climb to the highest plane
-If I were queen and you were my king
Fantasizing about being a queen, promising eternal life and freedom to a hypothetical king.
and this was our kingdom
-i'd turn it all to gold, never die or get old, and
-I'd give you your freedom
-Try to get inside your head and watch in silence
Describing an attempt to understand the person's thoughts and desires, expressing longing for unattainable things.
as you wake up from the dead
-Kiss you in your dreams and hold you in ecstasy
-Like a fever I can't kick, I want what I can't have
-waiting for you to wake my love,
Continuing the anticipation for the person to rise to a higher level of consciousness.
waiting for you to step up,
-waiting for you to climb to the highest plane
-If I were queen and you were my king
Reiterating the fantasy of being a queen, offering eternal life and freedom.
and this was our kingdom
-i'd turn it all to gold, never die or get old, and
-I'd give you your freedom
-If I were queen and you were my king
Continuing the royal fantasy, promising wealth, keys, and the entire kingdom.
and this was our kingdom
-I'd give you the gold, I'd give you the keys,
-and I'd give you the kingdom
-If I were queen
Repetition of the desire to be a queen.
If I were queen
-waiting for you to wake my love,
Reiterating the anticipation for the person to elevate spiritually.
waiting for you to step up,
-waiting for you to climb to the highest plane
-If I were queen and you were my king
Repeating the fantasy of being a queen, offering gold, eternal life, and freedom.
and this was our kingdom
-i'd turn it all to gold, never die or get old, and
-I'd give you your freedom
-If I were queen and you were my king
Reiterating the royal fantasy, promising wealth, keys, and the entire kingdom.
and this was our kingdom
-I'd give you the gold, I'd give you the keys,
-and I'd give you the kingdom
-If I were queen
Final repetition of the desire to be a queen and the fantasy of the kingdom.
If I were queen and you were my king
-and this was our kingdom...
