When I am Queen Lyrics
that everything you once held dear is taken away from you
If all their hearts I could replace, but until then I'll have to...
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown
of all the devils I have known that suck the angels dry
and all the tears that we have cried will suck back in our eyes
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown
Hush baby go to sleep
Hush baby hush baby
Hush baby I'll make it be
I will not leave it up to fate because I hate you too
the glitter sores will heal themselves I'll play the part of someone else
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown
I think this is a sad as wella s angry song. It's about the fact that she wants revenge for all the wrongdoings and also the fact that she can't have it. Not right now and probably not ever "until then i'll have to drown drown drown myself' The screaming parts are all the anger at the fact that what she believes is rightful revenge will naver happen and she's stuck in a vicious cycle of having bad done to her and everyone else and not ebign able to do anything about it. It's also, i think, about how power can corrupt. When i am queen - when i am all powerful. theres all these grusome things she's talking about in a calm and un-emotional way. when she's screaming about how shes trapped down with no power, there is emotion and she hasnt been corrupted by power. feel free to dissagree with me :)

She says that if she gets her way, those who deserve pain will feel it, and those who have been wronged will have justice.
That, and the song rocks.
Saying the song rocks is a painful understatement...it is simply brilliant. Pure and raw and unrefined beauty, thrown into an angst-filled and needful song.
i think shes saying that although she doesn't like herself that much "drown drown myself.." she dislikes the people the song is about more....and that they will be punished when she is queen....also shes saying the other people they've hurt she will heal "patron saint of self injury patron saint of self-injury the glitter sores will heal themselves I'll play the part of someone else" thats a really dark line for me....because shes saying she'll be some one else and it'll be ok...and i know what that feels like. brilliant song....i can relate alot...xxxxx
i like the bit where she hoes'hush baby hush baby', because, there is everything else happining, and she thinking about everything bad, but shes trying to calm you at the same time...
i think jack off jill is a kick ass band and this song is one of the best!!!!!!!!! someone with total control over someone is the best person i can relate to. i am one who controls not follows...........
I like Faust ... they make me giggle.
I like Faust ... they make me giggle.
I think it means that not only does she hate herself, she still feels that she has to have revenge on the ones who have made people cry, and who have made others feel of unimportance. Jack off Jill is such an awesome band. This and Strawberry Gashes are my favorite songs from them
I agree with Kittie Kat.. i think that jessicka is telling her revenge in this song and how those that made her suffer will pay. This song and just about ALL JoJ songs are my favorite..Its kinda hard to pick...grins
