Roar
Jannina Weigel Lyrics

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
Despite never having experienced the luxury of diamonds, the singer learned about the lavish lifestyle portrayed in movies through the depiction of wedding rings

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
The singer's familiarity with diamonds and fancy living comes from the movies she has watched where weddings portray luxurious lifestyles

And I'm not proud of my address,
The singer lives in an area of disrepair and is ashamed of the situation she is in

In a torn-up town, no postcode envy
The place where she lives is quite damaged, and the artist doesn't envy anyone who enjoys a better location

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Famous songs are about the finest things in life such as expensive jewelry, fancy drinks and partying in restrooms

Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
Fancifully dressed people can create mayhem in a hotel room and leave behind undesirable evidence such as blood-stained clothing

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
While people are obsessed with material possessions such as Cadillacs, the singer and her friends have only to dream of owning them

But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
The artist seems to imply that almost everyone is obsessed with the idea of owning prestigious items such as luxury watches or cars

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
It's almost fashionable to have one's own private jet and island, and even to keep exotic animals like tigers on a gold chain

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.
Although many are obsessed with obtaining material wealth, the artist and her friends are not caught up in this 'love affair'

And we'll never be royals (royals).
The singer acknowledges that she and her friends will never be part of royalty or the upper classes

It don't run in our blood,
The implied meaning is that none of her family generations have ever been of the upper class

That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
The singer thinks that this kind of luxury is not suitable for the singer and her friends

We crave a different kind of buzz.
Rather than pursue a life of luxury, the singer and her friends want to experience a different sort of stimulus

Let me be your ruler (ruler),
The singer wants to be seen as powerful

You can call me queen Bee
The artist wants to be referred to as a queen bee, a powerful and regal female

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
The artist plans to rule as much as possible with the perceived power and influence she has

Let me live that fantasy.
The singer desires to be seen as powerful and to live in a fantasy according to her own standards

My friends and I—we've cracked the code.
The singer and her friends feel as though they have found a secret path to leading happy lives

We count our dollars on the train to the party.
The artist and her friends keep track of their money, especially when going to parties or other events

And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,
Everyone who knows the artist and her friends realizes that they are content with not being as opulent or conspicuous as others

We didn't come from money.
The artist and her friends did not inherit money, so they must work hard and appreciate what they have

Ooh ooh oh We're bigger than we ever dreamed, And I'm in love with being queen.
The singer and her friends feel as though they are important and influential, far beyond their wildest dreams. The singer is happy to feel like a queen and the leader of her group

Ooh ooh oh Life is great without a care We aren't caught up in your love affair.
The artist suggests that life is lovely because you aren't fixated on the love affair of material things
