Damsel
Unveiling the Silent Rebellion
Lyrics
My master's at the table
Expressing that the speaker's master is present at the table.
His heart is made of steel
Describing the master's unyielding or tough nature, symbolized by a heart made of steel.
I sit and watch him banging on
Observing the master talking passionately about his sex appeal.
About his sex appeal
Reflecting on the master's self-centered focus on his attractiveness.
To him I'm just a maiden
Identifying the speaker as a powerless maiden in the master's eyes.
Without the right to fight
Acknowledging the speaker's lack of agency or right to oppose.
I secretly despise him
Confessing the speaker's hidden disdain for the master while maintaining a submissive role.
Still I play the humble wife
Admitting to playing the role of a humble wife despite internal resentment.
Do I have the patience of a saint to wait like this
Pondering whether the speaker has the patience of a saint to endure the situation.
So you think I'm thick enough to tolerate your shit
Questioning if the master believes the speaker is tolerant enough to endure mistreatment.
Maybe I guess I did
Admitting a past acceptance or tolerance of mistreatment.
Bent on the fairytale of your kiss
Desiring the fairy tale-like experience of the master's kiss.
But who was I to blame
Accepting responsibility for entering the fairy tale despite potential consequences.
Every story taught me this
Recognizing that past stories influenced the speaker's choices and expectations.
I had the spirit of a soldier
Claiming to possess the spirit of a soldier in the past.
Until the day you took the kill
Indicating a shift in the speaker's life due to the master's actions, perhaps negatively.
So now you call me mad
Refuting the master's characterization of the speaker as mad.
That's a convenient way to make me kneel
Pointing out the master's convenient tactic of labeling the speaker to gain control.
To a man who's a monster
Describing the master as a monstrous figure in the speaker's life.
And takes control of the battlefield
Highlighting the master's dominance and control in the speaker's life.
So you call yourself a conqueror
Challenging the master's self-proclaimed title of a conqueror.
You're only strong when I'm your shield
Pointing out the master's strength only when the speaker serves as a shield.
I don't have the patience of a saint to wait like this
Reiterating the speaker's lack of patience in the current situation.
So you think I'm thick enough to tolerate your shit
Questioning the master's belief in the speaker's tolerance for mistreatment.
Maybe I guess I did
Recalling a previous acceptance or endurance of mistreatment.
Bent on the fairytale of your kiss
Desiring the fairy tale-like experience of the master's kiss, despite past experiences.
But who was I to blame
Accepting responsibility for past choices and experiences influenced by stories.
Every story taught me this
Recognizing the impact of narratives on the speaker's life choices and expectations.
I pulled the sword from the stone
Symbolizing the speaker's empowerment by pulling the sword from the stone.
At the brink of death I came and rose
Describing a near-death experience and subsequent resilience.
To see I was free
Expressing freedom and independence after overcoming challenges.
Amongst the fields of green
Depicting a serene scene of freedom and peace in nature.
Now Excalibur is mine to keep
Claiming ownership of Excalibur, symbolizing newfound power and control.
