For fans of Clutch, Wolfmother, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rage Against the Machine, or Soundgarden, and if ten more bands that influenced Crobot's sound were needed to be named, they easily could be.
The powerful packed punch of the vocals of lead singer Brandon Yeagley is a great one-two with the spellbinding, head bobbing guitar riffs of Chris Bishop; not to mention the stellar solidity of the low frequencies of Sam Grim on bass guitar. Bishop brings his unique style of art to the table to add images to the stories unveiled by lyricist and frontman Brandon Yeagley. The two also plan on creating a graphic novel based on the songs from the album, set for an undetermined future release.
Crobot have spilled their sweat and tones on such stages as Philadelphia's Theater of Living Arts and Xfinity LIVE, The Paramount in Huntington, NJ, the Stanhope House in Stanhope, New Jersey, and Anchorage, Alaska's Chilkoot Charlie's and plan on embarking on a tour not limited to the venues listed previously.
Crobot is:
Brandon Yeagley - Vocals, Harp
Chris Bishop - Guitar, Vocals
Sam Grim - Bass
Tony Kobel - Percussion
Queen of the Light
Crobot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her only wish, a holy rebirth
All dressed in the darkness
But she'll trade it all for a white dress
Been out of morality too long
She swears our love has been dying
But what do you expect from the king of the damned
Been out of mortality too long
But if you need to go…
And she walked out on the night
She lived the darkest life
But all she wants to be is the Queen of the Light
All these words from this brimstone bride
Claim the grass is always burning on the underside
Been down on this gravity too long
Still singing the same old falling song
But if you need to go…
She walked out on the night
She lived the darkest life
But all she wants to be is the Queen…
Yeah, all she wants to be…
Is the Queen of the Light
Yeah, the Queen of the Light
But if you need to go…
She walked out on the night
She lived the darkest life
But all she wants to be is the Queen…
Yeah, all she wants to be…
Is the Queen of the Light
Yeah, the Queen of the Light
Yeah, the Queen of the Light
Oh the Queen of the Light
The song "Queen of the Light" by Crobot is a reflection of a woman who has seen the darkest things in life and wishes to become something better, something holy. She holds the keys to the underworld, and although her only wish is to find a rebirth by trading her darkness for a "white dress," she believes that her love is dying, and she has been out of morality for too long. She has been singing the same old dead and falling songs, but all she wants is to become the Queen of the Light. The lyrics, "Claim the grass is always burning on the underside" shows her perspective on life and how she sees the world as a dark, dangerous place where evil lurks beneath the surface.
The lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, but the main theme is the redemption and change of a person's life from darkness to light. The woman in the lyrics represents anyone who has faced life's struggles, been dragged to the darkest depths of life but eventually found a way out. The song highlights the struggles of returning to morality and the sacrifices one has to make to become a better person. It is an inspiring and uplifting song that encourages the listener to strive for redemption regardless of their past.
