Majesty
Madrugada Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So am I good or bad
The way that things did turn out
I did only make you sad
And we cried and we cried on the phone
Oh but in my mind
You were never that all alone

Oh you were majesty
Your robes were heavy
And your longing was a cutting from bone

So am I, am I good or bad
Could only awake your anger
I could only make you mad
Now was that how you showed me
That you were still so young and bold
Anyway, those fights did drive me
And I was dying of thirst and I wasn't growing old

Oh you were majesty
Your robes were heavy
And your robes were very cold
Oh oh oh majesty, oh

But in my mind
I could still climb inside your bed
And I could be victorious
Still the only man
To pass through the glorious arch of your head, oh

Oh you were majesty
Your robes were heavy
And your treats were very red
Oh you were majesty
Now it's like I said
That spirit, it's now dead
Oh oh oh majesty, oh

However, the singer also reveals that, in his mind, his partner was never truly alone, suggesting that he always had feelings for her, even if they were not reciprocated.


The title of the song, "Majesty," is used to describe the singer's former partner, whom he sees as a majestic figure.

I went to Norway on a trip and got sick. While confined to the house, overlooking the fjord, I discovered the Industrial Silence CD and put it on while the sun was setting and the lights came on in the villages across the fjord, while I watched from the couch. An experience I will never forget. Ever since then, Madrugada has been my favorite band.

@LimbDee

Industrial Silence hit me like no album ever did.

@nickbrutanna9973

Indeed, I encountered them ca. mid-2000s, and they quickly rose to one of my favorite bands, along with Conjure One and Kosheen.

@lokthrylarsen9492

Next time make shure you bring enough clothes. You might had caught a cold. But that is only a guess.

@murraylloyd6011

Absolutely brilliant song - listening here in SA

@lisaranellemarshall271

Probably one of the greatest rock songs ever.

@pabloimireia

Sure!

@Stixches

@NinaLanyon

No probably about it, it's quite definitely one of the greatest. It's a mystery what Madrugada was so little know around the world.

@uncivilisedpink

Is it considered rock?
