The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Royals" by the artist "Walk Off The Earth"

Contents

Walk Off The Earth's song Royals is an anthem for the common man who doesn't chase after material wealth and luxury typical of high society. The lyrical hero, although not denying the appeal of wealth, emphasizes that he has different priorities and sources of happiness.

The first verse paints a picture of a modest life: the hero is far from luxury, his ideas about diamonds are limited to movies. He is not ashamed of his background, emphasizing that he does not envy the "royals."

The chorus reveals the contrast between two worlds: the world of pop culture, saturated with images of luxury and revelry, and the world of the hero, devoid of ostentatious wealth. He acknowledges that "everybody loves" the trappings of wealth, but refuses to worship them, stating that he "don't care." He doesn't judge, but simply states that these are not his values.

The second verse deepens the image of the hero: he is not rich, but happy with his friends, they appreciate the simple joys of life and do not chase money.

The third verse is the culmination, where the hero proclaims his own "royalty" - not material, but spiritual. He asks to be called "Queen Bee", creating a metaphor for his own kingdom, independent of stereotypes.

The final lines are a manifesto of his life philosophy: to live in the present, appreciate what you have, and not envy the wealth of others.

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies

And I'm not proud of my address in the torn up town

No Postcode Envy

But every song's like

Gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like

Crystal, maybach, diamonds on your time piece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of lux just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me Queen B

And baby I'll rule (I'll rule)

Let me live that fantasy

My friends and I, we've cracked the code

We count our dollars on the train to the party

And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this

We didn't come from money

But every song's like

Gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like

Crystal, maybach, diamonds on your time piece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of lux just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me Queen B

And baby I'll rule (I'll rule)

Let me live that fantasy

We're bigger than we ever dreamed

And I'm in love with being queen

Life is game without a care

We aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of lux just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me Queen B

And baby I'll rule (I'll rule)

Let me live that fantasy
