Ida Maria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So bring me consciousness
And kill my innocence
Please lay your eyes on me
Lead me in the dance
Give me no chance to reconsider, reconsider
I'm Queen of the world
I spin around in circles
And I'm singing, and I'm singing I'm singing
Why can't I stay like this?
Dear God.
Oh let me be young
Let me stay, please
Oh let me stay like this oh
Bring me home
I've got no plans for tomorrow
I've got no plans for tomorrow
I got no plans insight
In fact I'm free this week
I'm free this month
I lonely, lonely this year
I'm lonely forever
But today, oh
I'm Queen of the world
I bump into things
I spin around in circles
And I'm singing, and I'm singing I'm singing
Why can't I stay like this?
Dear God.
Oh let me be young
Let me stay, please
Oh let me stay like this oh
And I'm singing, I'm singing I'm singing
I'm Queen of the world
I bump into things
I spin around in circles
And I'm singing, and I'm singing I'm singing
Why can't I stay like this?
Dear God.
Let me be young
Let me stay, please
Oh let me stay like this oh
In Ida Maria's song "Queen of the World," the singer plea for Whiskey to bring back her consciousness and kill her innocence. She sings about wanting to stay young and carefree, lamenting that she is lonely and free with no plans, but just for the day. She revels in her temporary state of blissful ignorance and recklessness, spinning around in circles and bumping into things while proclaiming herself queen of the world.
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted as a portrayal of youth and the desire to cling onto it. The lyrics touch on themes like feeling disconnected from reality and the fear of adulthood taking away the carefree nature of youth. The singer yearns for a time where she can stay as she is without growing up and losing her innocence. The repeated use of the phrase "Queen of the World" emphasizes her desire for control and the devotion to her happy-go-lucky way of life.
