Pawn Game
Power Play: Unveiling Complex Relationships through Silverpath's 'Pawn Game'
Lyrics
You've been sayin' all the right things
You've been saying things that sound right
But I've got a toxin in my brain
But there's a harmful influence affecting my thoughts
So, I don't got a lot to say to you
Due to this, I don't have much to communicate with you
And you've been hittin' all the right spots
You've been satisfying my desires effectively
But I'm such a fickle miss to please
Yet, I am a hard person to please
And I prefer you on your knees
I prefer you in a submissive position
What do you want
Questioning what you desire
I'm not here to entertain
I'm not here solely for your amusement
There's a seat over there
There's a place for you if you want to express dissatisfaction
If you wanted to complain
If you want to complain, there's a seat available
I don't mind that you're green
I don't mind that you're inexperienced or naive
Kinda like it that way
In fact, I find it appealing
Don't forget your place
Remember your subordinate position
You're the pawn and I'm the queen
You are the pawn in this relationship, and I am the queen
Queen
Reiteration of being the queen
I guess that I could teach you
Suggesting that the speaker could educate the listener
But you know that some things just can't be taught
Some things can't be taught, only learned through experience
Cuz they come just from experience
Experience is the source of certain knowledge
And I guess that I could help you out
Willingness to assist despite differences from previous relationships
You're so different from the ones I've had before
The listener is unique compared to others
Dim the lights and lock the door
Suggesting intimacy and secrecy
Fall into my submission
Encouraging submission
I look sweet but you know I can be tough
Appearances can be deceiving, the speaker can be tough
Tell me when you've had enough
Listener should communicate when they've reached their limit
Use your sense of intuition
Encouraging the use of intuition
I'll show you how to touch with just your eyes
Guidance on non-physical ways to connect
Feel the lows and feel the rise
Experiencing highs and lows emotionally
What do you want
Reiteration of not being for entertainment
I'm not here to entertain
Emphasizing that the speaker is not there for amusement
There's a seat over there
Offering a seat for complaining if needed
If ya wanted to complain
Repeating the availability of a seat for complaints
I don't mind that you're green
Expressing acceptance of the listener's inexperience
I kinda like it that way
Actually finding the inexperience appealing
Don't forget your place
Reminder of the listener's subservient role
You're the pawn and I'm the queen
Reaffirming the power dynamic
Cmon take it slow
Encouragement to take things slowly
There's pleasure in pain
Finding pleasure in the combination of pleasure and pain
Show me you can take
Challenging the listener to endure the weight of the speaker's authority
The weight of my reign
Acknowledging the potential for cruelty in the relationship
I know I can be mean
Admitting the speaker's capability for harshness
It's a tough love kind of thing
Describing the tough nature of love in this context
But don't forget your place
Reiterating the listener's subordinate role
You're the pawn and I'm the queen
Final emphasis on the speaker being the queen
I'm the Queen
Repetition of being the queen
Queen
-I'm the Queen
-I'm the Queen
-I'm the Queen
-Cmon take it slow
Reiteration of previous themes of pleasure, pain, submission, and the tough nature of love
There's pleasure in pain
-Show me you can take
-The weight of my reign
-I know I can be mean
-It's a tough love kind of thing
-But don't forget your place
-You're the pawn and I'm the queen
-Cmon take it slow
-There's pleasure in pain
-Show me you can take
-The weight of my reign
-I know I can be mean
-It's a tough love kind of thing
-But don't forget your place
-You're the pawn and I'm the queen
Final reminder of the listener's role as the pawn
Queen
Reaffirmation of being the queen
