Jacob Powell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm on yeah I'm killin' it
Ya laughin' at all my jokes every story I told
Yeah baby just reelin' you in
We're chasin' the high losin' track of time
Layin' back on the hood of my horses
Under the stars rulin' the night
Will you still be my queen without the crown
When the ice is melted and the whiskey runs out
When the walls come crumbling down
Will you still be my queen without the crown
Without the crown
They say the eyes are the window to the soul
If you stare too long you'll know
Who I am at zero proof yeah the sobering truth is
When the courage don't flow
I'm nervous as hell can't carry a tune
Don't know what to do baby I just want
You to still be my queen without the crown
When the ice is melted and the whiskey runs out
When the walls come crumbling down
Will you still be my queen without the crown
Will you still be my queen
Yeah will you still be my queen
Will you still be
Will you still be
Will you still be my queen without the crown
When the ice is melted and the whiskey runs out
When the walls come crumbling down
Will you still be my queen without the crown
Yeah without the crown
Without the crown
I said without the crown
Yeah without the crown
Jacob Powell's song "The Crown" is an introspective look at the insecurity and vulnerability that accompany love and relationships. The singer is in a moment of euphoria, three sheets to the wind, with his partner laughing at his jokes and enjoying his company.

However, the singer knows that this moment will pass, and the true test of the relationship will come when the alcohol is gone and the reality of life sets in. He wonders if his partner will still be with him, even when the walls around them crumble.
The lyrics delve into the singer's insecurities, hinting at a fear of rejection and a desire for validation. He worries that when he is sober, he won't be good enough for his partner, that he can't "carry a tune" or impress her without the help of alcohol. Through these lyrics, Powell captures the inner turmoil that often accompanies relationships.
Overall, "The Crown" is an emotionally charged song that explores the complexities of love and relationships. It suggests that true love is not based on material things like crowns, but on the ability to weather the storms of life together.
Line by Line Meaning
Here I am three sheets to the wind
I am drunk and not in control of myself
I'm on yeah I'm killin' it
I feel confident and doing well
Ya laughin' at all my jokes every story I told
You are enjoying my company and find me funny
Yeah baby just reelin' you in
I am trying to attract and impress you
We're chasin' the high losin' track of time
We are seeking pleasure and losing sense of time passing
Layin' back on the hood of my horses
We are relaxing on the car and enjoying the moment
Under the stars rulin' the night
We feel in control of the night and our surroundings
But when you open your eyes in the mornin'
The morning after may reveal different feelings and circumstances
Will you still be my queen without the crown
Will you still love and respect me without material possessions or social status
When the ice is melted and the whiskey runs out
When the temporary pleasures fade away
When the walls come crumbling down
When facing hardships or challenges
They say the eyes are the window to the soul
People's eyes reveal their true feelings and personality
If you stare too long you'll know
If you pay enough attention to me, you will know my true self
Who I am at zero proof yeah the sobering truth is
I am revealing my true self without alcohol
When the courage don't flow
When I am not feeling confident or brave
I'm nervous as hell can't carry a tune
I am anxious and not able to sing well
Don't know what to do baby I just want
I am unsure of my actions and just want your love
You to still be my queen without the crown
You to still love me for who I am and not for material possessions or social status
Will you still be my queen
Will you still love and respect me
Yeah will you still be my queen
I am asking for confirmation of your love
Yeah without the crown
Without the material possessions or social status
I said without the crown
I am emphasizing the importance of love beyond material possessions or social status
