Crown
Femme It Forward & Sinead Harnett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Puts some makeup on
Looks herself in the mirror, says, "Girl, be strong"
Underneath the surface, she feels empty
She wish she could undo life
Turn her wrongs to right
Take back the body she caught last night
Wake up and tell herself, "It was all a dream"
You gotta tell yourself you′re better
'Cause you′ve been running from yourself too long
You gotta know inside you've always been enough
Just been wearin' your crown all wrong
You more than enough, babe
More than enough
You gotta know inside you′ve always been enough
Just been wearin′ your crown all wrong
Hey, young girl, love your body
Keep your head, you're somebody
Don′t let 'em get in your way from calling yourself a queen
She comes home late at night
Underneath moonlight
She knows that the stars only shine sometimes
For her, they don′t align, she can hardly sleep
You gotta tell yourself you're better
′Cause you've been running from yourself too long
You gotta know inside you've always been enough
Just been wearin′ your crown all wrong
You more than enough, babe (More than enough)
More than enough (More than enough)
You gotta know inside you′ve always been enough
Just been wearin' your crown all wrong
Hey, young girl, love your body
Keep your head, you′re somebody
Don't let ′em get in your way from calling yourself a queen
Hey, young girl, love your body
Keep your head, you're somebody
Don′t let 'em get in your way from calling yourself a queen
Hey, young girl, love your body
Keep your head, you're somebody
Don′t let ′em get in your way from calling yourself a queen
Hey, young girl (Body)
Keep your head (Somebody)
Giving your crown away
Queen
The song "Crown" by Femme It Forward and Sinead Harnett is a powerful message about self-love and acceptance. The lyrics talk about a young woman who wakes up each day and puts on a brave face, but underneath the surface, she feels empty and wishes she could undo her past mistakes. She longs to be able to take back the body she gave away and tell herself it was all just a dream. The chorus emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's own worth and realizing that they have always been enough, despite the struggles they may have faced.
The verses of the song show the young woman's struggle to find self-acceptance, both during the day and at night. Despite feeling like the stars don't align for her and struggling to sleep, the chorus reminds her that she is more than enough and that she should love her body and keep her head up. The message is clear: no matter what has happened in the past, we all deserve to wear our crowns and recognize our own value.
