Crown
Arca Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lipstick
The lines, the lines

Hips shift, uh from side to side
How could it fit inside a body so petite?
Why would she flip?
How could she flip?
How could she flip it all upside down?

She wears her crown
She wears her crown
From side to side

How could it fit inside a body so petite?
Hips shift from side to side
To side, to side, to side, to side
To side, to side, to side, to side, to side
Hips shift, hips shift, from side to side
How could it fit inside a body so petite?
Why would she flip?
How could she flip?
How could she flip it all upside down?

She wears her crown
She wears her crown
From side to side

How could it fit?

From side to side
How could it fit, inside a body so petite?
Why would she flip?
How could she flip?
How could she flip it all upside down?

She wears her crown
She wears her crown

Overall Meaning

In Arca's song "Crown," the lyrics seem to explore themes of identity, transformation, and embracing one's power. The repetition of the lines "How could it fit inside a body so petite?" and "Why would she flip? How could she flip? How could she flip it all upside down?" suggests a contemplation of the ways in which a person's external appearance may not align with their internal strength and potential. The mention of a crown can symbolize a sense of self-worth, authority, or even royalty, suggesting that the singer of the song has found their own power and is unafraid to express it. The repeated line "She wears her crown" reinforces this idea of confidently owning one's identity.


The imagery of "hips shift from side to side" adds a physicality to the lyrics, perhaps indicating a sense of movement, fluidity, or even sensuality. The repetition of these lines emphasizes a sense of rhythm and momentum throughout the song, giving it an energetic quality. The mention of a petite body raises questions about societal expectations and norms, challenging the notion that power or strength can only be found in certain physical forms.
