you should see me in a crown
Billie Eilish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wearing a warning sign
Wait 'til the world is mine
Visions I vandalize
Cold in my kingdom size
Fell for these ocean eyes
You should see me in a crownI'm gonna run this nothing town
Watch me make 'em bow
One by one by one
One by one by
You should see me in a crown
Your silence is my favorite sound
Watch me make 'em bow
One by one by one
One by one by one
Count my cards, watch them fall
Blood on a marble wall
I like the way they all
Scream
Tell me which one is worse
Living or dying first
Sleeping inside a hearse
I don't dream
You say
Come over baby
I think you're pretty
I'm okay
I'm not your baby
If you think I'm pretty
I'm gonna run this nothing town
Watch me make 'em bow
One by one by one
One by one by
You should see me in a crown
Your silence is my favorite sound
Watch me make 'em bow
One by one by one
One by one by one
Crown
I'm gonna run this nothing town
Watch me make 'em bow
One by one by one
One by one by
You should see me in a crown (you should see me, see me)
Your silence is my favorite sound (you should see me, see me)
Watch me make 'em bow
One by one by one
One by one by one
"You Should See Me in a Crown" by Billie Eilish is a song that's all about power and domination. Eilish sings about biding her time and wearing a warning sign, waiting until the world is hers to vandalize it with her visions. She likens herself to a queen with a cold and distant demeanor, falling for people with ocean eyes who she can control as she assumes the throne.
The chorus is a declaration of her power, stating that people need to see her in a crown to understand just how powerful she can be. The second verse is equally sinister, as she talks about counting cards and watching them fall, with blood on the wall to indicate the violence she's willing to employ to maintain her hold on the world.
The bridge is an interesting twist, with Eilish rejecting the advances of someone who thinks she's pretty, declaring that she doesn't belong to anyone else. The final chorus is an even more forceful iteration of the first one, with the song building to a fever pitch as Eilish asserts her dominance over all who stand in her way.

Blood on a marble wall
There is evidence of a violent act on a decorative surface, adding to the horror of the situation
I like the way they all scream
I am entertained by the reactions of others to my violent acts
Tell me which one is worse
Which is more terrifying: living or dying?
Living or dying first
Is it better to experience life or death before the other?
Sleeping inside a hearse
I accept and even embrace death as a part of life
I don't dream
I don't have hopeful or positive aspirations for the future
You say, 'Come over baby, I think you're pretty'
You make advances towards me and compliment my appearance
I'm okay, I'm not your baby, if you think I'm pretty
I am not interested in a relationship with you just because you find me physically attractive
