Red Throne
Bear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We all went
Serpent eyes
Manipulating your
Red throne
Infiltrating their womb
Nothing wrong
But do we stay alive?
What a game this is now

So far we're sticking to this masterplan
So far we're pretty sure that nothing goes wrong
We know this damage is collateral
To us it's feeling rather sensual
But what the fuck

Here we go
Stepping through the maze
Hedonists,
We are coming to free us all
Disbelief,
Can this amaze us all?
Yes it will
Yes it will but

Are we strong?
And are we bigger than you, dead?
Are we strong?
And are we bigger than you, dead?
Are we strong?
And are we bigger than you, dead?
Are we strong?
And are we bigger than you

Let us strike again,
Start from scratch!
Let us strike again,

Start from scratch!
So far we're sticking to this masterplan
So far we're pretty sure that nothing goes wrong
We know this damage is collateral
To us it's feeling rather sensual
But what the fuck

Nothing will stop us from this
Nothing will stop us from this
Nothing will stop us from this
Nothing will stop us from this

Here we go
Resign today!
Here we go
Resign today!
Here we go
Resign today!
Here we go
Resign today!

So far we're sticking to this masterplan
So far we're pretty sure that nothing goes wrong
We know this damage is collateral
To us it's feeling rather sensual
But what the fuck

ALL HAIL ME!
ALL HAIL ME!




ALL HAIL ME!
ALL HAIL ME!

Overall Meaning

In "Red Throne," Bear's lyrics provide a dense, metaphorical landscape for the listener to contemplate. The track begins by describing a group of people with "serpent eyes" manipulating a "red throne" and "infiltrating their womb." Here, the use of "serpent eyes" suggests the presence of deceit and manipulation, while "red throne" evokes ideas of power and control. The phrase "infiltrating their womb" could be interpreted as a metaphor for trying to control the origin of something. The next line, "Nothing wrong/But do we stay alive?" suggests that while the actions of these individuals may not be inherently harmful, they are still dangerous.


The second verse starts off with a sense of confidence that the group has a "master plan" and nothing will go wrong. The phrase "damage is collateral/ to us it's feeling rather sensual" hints at a distorted sense of pleasure derived from destruction. However, the final line of the second verse, "But what the fuck," suggests that perhaps there is something going wrong that they did not anticipate. The chorus asks the question, "Are we strong and are we bigger than you, dead?" which could be interpreted as a challenge to an oppressive system. The song ends with the repeated exclamation "All hail me," reinforcing the idea of seeking power and control.
