"Sick of feeling used" "Tired of all these cameras flashing" "There's an old man sitting on the throne saying 'I should keep my pretty mouth shut' " "They wanna make me their queen" "I probably shouldn't be so mean" I keep thinking about Katniss Everdeen
I have a story for this song... Basically, A young girl was beloved by all those around her because of her beauty and innocence. Everyone wanted her on the throne of the oppressive kingdom in hopes she would save them but what they didn't know is this was what the king had planned all along. He had wanted to keep his daughter as naive and innocent as possible so that he could control her and the kingdom. On her 15th birthday, the Princess is betrothed to a horrible man 30 years older than her, a friend of the king. Upon discovering this, the Princess refuses and challenges her father only for him to tell her to 'keep her pretty mouth shut'. So the Princess tries to run away but the king anticipated this and locked the kingdom up. Then the Princess got smart and decided that she'd go along with her father's wants, after all the moment she's married she's Queen. She marries the man her father wants but soon both men realise that they no longer have any power of the girl. She outrank them and has them imprisoned for treason. Thus saving her kingdom. Thank you for reading
A story to go along with the song. The tyrant king's wife gave birth to a stillborn, so he secretly traded one of the maid's newborn children with his. Sadly, the queen died during childbirth. She grows older, having no knowledge of her true heritage, raised by the maid who is her true mother, and every night, while tucking the princess in for bed, the maid sings her agnus dei as a reminder to always be kind. But the king notices how close the two are, and fears the maid will reveal his secret, so he has her assassinated. The young girl is devastated, and without the maid's guidance is paraded around in front of a kingdom soon to be hers, but as she grows into a teenager, she begins to resent it. And because she resents it, she becomes very mean and spoiled. Eventually the princess turns the people against her with her horrible attitude, and is kidnapped by her true father who tells her who she really is. She becomes angry, she knows everything now. Including what her 'father' the king did to her nanny, her mother. The kingdom is on lockdown, the king is frantically trying to find his daughter, all the times he told her to be nicer to the people flash in his head. A few hours later, she walks up the steps to the front door of the castle, and into the throne room, ready to confront the king. He orders everyone to leave them alone, and the princess blows up, yelling at the king. He slowly gets up from his throne and grabs her face, telling her to watch what she says, and if needed, he could always find another heir. He locks her in the dungeon, telling the guards she's been brainwashed. Days pass, and the only one to even slightly talk to her is the serving boy who brings her her meals. While trapped, she reflects on her life and starts singing the song her nanny, no - her mother, would sing to her. It attracts the serving boy, and the princess tells him how she regrets being so horrid, and how she would change it all if she could. The serving boy helps her escape, and she runs to her true father, who is the leader of the rebellion. She regains the trust of the people and trains to be a warrior. A year passes, and the time has come. The final battle to usurp the king. The rebellion army marches towards the castle, with the intent of crowning a new queen, for even if she has no royal blood, the people were now on her side. The rebellion meets the royal army in front of the castle and there's a bloody battle, with losses on both sides. But while the princess is fighting with her people, the king is hiding in his castle. The princess clears a path in and sets put to find him. When she goes into the throne room, he's sitting in his throne made of the bones of enemies, and he tells her she won't be able to kill him, for he was her father and raised her her whole life. She thinks back to all the times he yelled at her for doing the slightest thing wrong, and how he mercilessly beat her for not being good enough. How she was taught to never cry, for it was a weakness. The princess narrows her eyes and with a growl, comments "watch me." Then follows a swordfight, which isn't much of a contest between the old king and the young princess. She runs him through with his sword, and whispers in his ear "probably shouldn't have been so mean." She's celebrated for killing the dictator king and becomes queen, as he had no living family. She makes her own throne, out of the king's bones, and as the crown is placed on her head, she smirks. "Straight for the castle." She thinks. ~Fin~
demodaughter actually it means "lamb of god" or the title of Jesus. He's addressed as this because in the Bible he is the messiah, which is often pictured as a lamb. I don't know enough about religion or Latin to tell you much more, but this is just what I found out from a quick google search and looking on a few Christian websites. Have a lovely day!
This song reminds me of real life. Working your way up to the top but being genuine about it. Not letting fake people get in your way. Changing the world. If you dream it, believe it, if you take action, it really can happen.
IM HEADING STRAIGHT FOR HOGWARTS Edit: oh my god I've been getting notifications from people liking this comment and replying to it and i thought it was just someone else's comment that I liked a while ago but I just now checked and I have a bunch if likes and replies I feel so special 🥺 I'll take you all with me
HELL YEA. SCREW PRESIDENT SNOW. (~sry all caps) im in love with Hunger Games. Sometimes I wish parts of it were in real life. (not the fighting to the death were 24 go in and only 1 comes out thing) Sometimes I go out hunting and think I'm Katniss and in reality nobody can survive what she went through and be the same.
Not just the old man, it goes deeper. "Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it." Katniss rebelling. She KNOWS she could die, just like that. She knows people want to kill her. She just wants things to be good for her family, Gale, and Peeta, and everyone else.
Harry Potter Rendition: Sick of all these muggles talking Sick of all this noise Tired of all these wistful longings Tired of being poised Now my fist is open wide Waiting for a wand in it Already choking on my longing So there's no use crying about it Hogwartttsssss Hogwartttssss Hogwarttttsss Hogwarttttssss I'm headed straight for my Hogwarts They want to make me a witch And there's a Dumbledore sitting on the throne That's saying that I probably should've read Hogwarts: A History I'm headed straight for my Hogwarts They've got the Death-Eaters locked up And there's a Dumbledore sitting on the throne Saying that Voldy probably should've kept his mouth shut Straight for my Hogwarts Oh all these minutes passing' Sick of feeling Confunded If you wanna break these walls down You will use Confringo Now my fist is open wide Waiting for a wand in it Already choking on my longing So there's no use crying about it Hogwartttsss Hogwartttsss Hogwarttttss Hogwarttss I'm headed straight for my Hogwarts They want to make a witch And there's a Dumbledore sitting on the throne Saying "Welcome you're in (whatever House)" I'm headed straight for my Hogwarts They've got the Death-Eaters locked up And there's a Dumbledore sitting on the throne Saying "Welcome you're in (whatever House)" Straight for my Hogwarts There's no use crying about it There's no use crying about it There's no use crying about it There's no use crying about it I'm headed straight for my Hogwarts They wanna make me a witch And there's a Dumbledore sitting on the throne Saying "Welcome you're in (whatever House)" I'm headed straight for my Hogwarts They've got the Death Eaters locked up And there's a Dumbledore sitting on the throne Saying "Welcome you're in (whatever House)" I'm headed straight for my Hogwarts They wanna make me a witch And there's a Dumbledore sitting on the throne Saying "Welcome you're in (whatever House)" I'm headed straight for my Hogwarts They've got the Death-Eaters locked up And there's a Dumbledore sitting on the throne Saying "Welcome you're in (whatever House)" Straight for my Hogwarts (edit: OH MY GOD Y’ALL ARE SO SWEET I LITERALLY AM NOT THAT CREATIVE)
I hear so many characters from different franchises here: Katniss from hunger games, Malefacent, Queen Scarlett and Blister from Wings of Fire, Loki, Hela and Wanda from Marvel and the list goes on and on. This song is amazing and definitely not one you forget easily.
"There's an old man sitting on a throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean" Percy Jackson vibes anyone? Edit: Omg thank you for the likes
Maya Raiu mhm, like the song is from Apollo’s POV. I recently picked up trials of Apollo for the first time in a while and, minor spoilers, 12 year old me apparently didn’t get the memo that Zeus was physically abusive and so now I’ve been thinking about that A Lot
I just love so much this comment section. All about books, TV shows, movies... I love to know I'm not the only one to bring my fav characters and universes to life when I listen to such a good song!!
@@nightapple-poisonapple2756 Yes I know, this song is older than 'You Should See Me In a Crown', making the joke that it's the 'original version' valid.
Everyone is associating this song to any fantasy genre movie possible but I'm here thinking it's just about the entertainment industry. Like, literally.
This is what this song reminds me of... Castle= Hogwarts Queen= queen of Slytherin 🐍 Old man= Dumbledore “There’s a old man sitting on the throne and saying I shouldn’t be so mean”= Dumbledore called Y/n into his office because the golden trio snitch on her for being her badass self💅
I get the feeling of someone who is bound by fate to go down a road they don't desire. And in frustration, their pride rejects the path laid ahead of them. The more you reject your fate the more you get hurt in the process. That is what I am getting from the lyrics. Just an opinion. What do you all think?
The part *and there’s an old man sitting on the throne there saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut* kinda sound like the hunger games. Just a thought and yes Harry Potter vibes to WOW a like wait why is it blue?
I thought so too! And when the lyrics were ‘ I’m heading straight for the castle, they wanna make me their queen’ is like when everyone adored Katniss the when they said ‘ I’m heading straight for the castle, they got the kingdom locked up ‘ is when they heard the rebels were coming so they brought all the citizens of the capital to Snow’s house! Just a thought tho! :)
I only heard Gasoline and Control just yesterday, for the first time, now I'm searching for other songs. This one is awesome too. I think I'm in love. The lyrics are so pretty, and Halsey's voice is so suiting and pretty. So yeah, I'm new around here.
Whenever I hear this I think about a regular schoolgirl who was taken for experimenting, and her memory was supposed to vanish but it didn’t and she escaped with overpowered magic. She escapes and goes to the middle of the city, but everyone thinks that she’s the “bad guy” and she wants to kill them all. Police try to take her down and people are terrified of her, and she doesn’t want to hurt anyone, but eventually she gets tired of the flashing cameras from iPhones and terrified screams and gossip. She takes every policeman down, and decides to turn against her good intentions. She demands everyone to bow down to her and make her their “queen”. Her father, the Governor General, was the only one who knew she wasn’t bad, but was horrified by her actions and said “you probably shouldn’t be so mean, keep your pretty mouth shut.” But she ignored him, and became the most powerful and fierce woman in the galaxy Just a lil thought
this song gives "Princess-Marching-Down-A-Hallway-In-A-Blood-Red-Dress-Flowing-Behind-Her-As-The-Carries-A-Sword-Ready-To-Dethrone-Everyone-And-Anyone" vibes
Sick of all these people talking, sick of all this noise Tired of all these cameras flashing, sick of being poised Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it I'm headed straight for the castle They wanna make me their queen And there's an old man sitting on the throne That's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean I'm headed straight for the castle They’ve got the kingdom locked up And there's an old man sitting on the throne That's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut Straight for the castle Oh, all these minutes passing, sick of feeling used If you wanna break these walls down, you’re gonna get bruised Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it I'm headed straight for the castle They wanna make me their queen And there's an old man sitting on the throne That's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean I'm headed straight for the castle They’ve got the kingdom locked up And there's an old man sitting on the throne That's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut Straight for the castle There's no use crying about it There's no use crying about it There's no use crying about it There's no use crying about it I'm headed straight for the castle They wanna make me their queen And there's an old man sitting on the throne That's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean I'm headed straight for the castle They’ve got the kingdom locked up And there's an old man sitting on the throne That's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut Straight for the castle They wanna make me their queen And there's an old man sitting on the throne That's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean I'm headed straight for the castle They’ve got the kingdom locked up And there's an old man sitting on the throne That's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut Straight for the castle
I'm headed straight for the cereal they want to make me eat And there's an old milk sitting on the table saying that I probably shouldn't eat meat I'm headed straight for the cereal They got the cereal poured out And there's an old milk sitting on the table saying that i probably should keep my spoon in touch I'm headed straight for the cereal
