Drama Queen
DQ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the city fills with shades of grey
In between the streetlight and the moonlit snow
There's a place I go
Where I do my show
I'm your drama queen tonight
All my troubles are out of sight
I will be your shining star
I'm your drama queen tonight
Everything's gonna be alright
When I get on the stage tonight
It's a space in time where every dream comes true
And tomorrow's sorrows just won't do
In between reality and fantasy
I will make you see
If you just believe
I'm your drama queen tonight
All my troubles are out of sight
When the lights are on
I will be your shining star
I'm your drama queen tonight
Everything's gonna be alright
When I get on the stage tonight
No more use pretending
No more reason to run and hide
Let's make all our dreams come true tonight
I'm you drama queen tonight
All my troubles are out of sight
When the lights are far
I will be your shining star
I'm your drama queen tonight
Everything's gonna be alright
When I get on the stage tonight
'Cause I'm your drama queen tonight
The opening lyrics suggest that the singer of the song, who is referred to as a "drama queen," turns to a specific place to escape any troubles or negative feelings at the end of a day. This place is one where she can perform her show- an environment adorned with streetlights and snow illuminated by the moonlight. The idea presented here is that the singer turns to performance as a means of distraction from everyday reality. She uses her art to take her to a space where everything she dreams of seems to come true.
The chorus of the song presents a confident persona that exudes an air of control and dominance. The singer uses her performance, singing "I'm your drama queen tonight" to convey her command over the stage and her audience. She shares her feelings of escapism with the listener and assures them that everything is going to be alright, as long as she's up there on the stage. She encourages the listener to join her, letting go of any inhibitions, and to allow themselves to believe anything that they want.
Overall, "Drama Queen" by DQ is a song that speaks about escapism through performance. It presents the singer as a confident, assertive individual that will help the listener turn their dreams into reality.

This was my first ever exposure to drag, and I vividly remember my family's concerned looks whenever I talked about what I, as a kid, called "the peacock man" before I really understood the concept of drag. Still holds a special place in my heart
