Royals
Alyssa Bernal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 post code envy
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
But everybody's like Cristal, 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 Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, 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 Cristal, 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 Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.
Oooh ooooh ohhh
We're bigger than we ever dreamed,
And I'm in love with being queen.
Oooooh ooooh ohhhhh
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 Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy
The song “Royals” by Alyssa Bernal is a cover of the original song by Lorde. The song is about rejecting extravagance and celebrity culture in favor of a simpler, more authentic life. The singer describes herself as someone who comes from a humble background and has never experienced the opulence and luxury that many others have. She contrasts her life with the lifestyle of the rich and famous, who are depicted as indulging in excess and materialism. The chorus repeats the refrain that “we’ll never be royals” and that she craves a different kind of buzz, implying that she does not want to be a part of the superficial world of the wealthy.
The lyrics are insightful and thought-provoking, encouraging listeners to think about the value of material possessions and fame. The song’s emphasis on authenticity and genuine experiences resonates with many people who feel disillusioned with celebrity culture and the pressure to conform to societal norms. The song’s popularity can be attributed to its catchy melody, relatable lyrics, and positive message.

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I have never seen a real diamond (not in a movie or a picture)
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
The only experience I have had with jewelry is through movies
And I'm not proud of my address, In the torn-up town, no post code envy
I am not ashamed of where I come from, even though it is not a wealthy area
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Popular music portrays a lifestyle of luxury and excess
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
People in the music industry engage in reckless behavior and cause destruction even while wearing expensive clothing
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
We may not have luxurious things in reality, but we dream about them
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your time piece.
The people who have a lot of money have fancy cars, watches, and drink expensive champagne
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
They also have private jets, own islands, and even keep exotic animals as pets
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.
We do not pay attention to the love affairs or drama of wealthy people
And we'll never be royals (royals).
My friends and I will never become part of the wealthy or royal class
It don't run in our blood,
We do not come from a wealthy lineage or family
That kind of lux just ain't for us.
Luxury is not something that we aspire to or value
We crave a different kind of buzz.
We desire and enjoy a different kind of excitement or adrenaline rush
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
I want to be the one in control or have power over you
You can call me queen Bee
You can call me ‘Queen Bee’ as if I am the most important person
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
I will take charge or be the dominant figure
Let me live that fantasy.
I want to continue imagining and dreaming about a luxurious lifestyle
My friends and I? we've cracked the code.
My friends and I have found a way to enjoy life even without material wealth
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
We are careful with our money and save even while we attend parties
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,
Everyone who knows us knows that we are happy with our lives even if we don’t have a lot of money
We didn't come from money.
Our families did not have a lot of wealth in the past
We're bigger than we ever dreamed,
We have achieved more success than we ever thought possible
And I'm in love with being queen.
I am happy with the power and control that I have
Life is game without a care
We live life without worrying about material things
We aren't caught up in your love affair.
We are not influenced by others' drama or relationships
