Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My fighting days are over
Faces names they change so fast
Come on Lord I feel much stronger
Too many days just wasting my time
Thinking that I was wrong
Lady, I'm not the kind to get stuck in the mud
Are you telling me that you're lonely
Queen bee
Well you got b out of your mind
Queen bee
Got to believe what you tell me
Queen bee
Won't you let me out of your hive
For the last time
You ain't a friend of mine, no
I've tasted the gutter like a peace of meat
That you chewed and spit away
I can't believe that I witness your greed
I'm stronger by the day
Lord have mercy on this pitiful soul
It never should be this way
Lady, I'm not the kind to get stuck in the mude
Queen bee
Are you telling me that you're lonely
Queen bee
Well you got b out of your mind
Queen bee
Got to believe what you tell me
Queen bee
Won't you let me out of your hive
For the last time
I've tasted the gutter like a peace of meat
That you chewed and spit away
I can't believe that I witness your greed
I'm stronger by the day
You can break down the door
You can drill into my mind
You can run me into the ground
Now I wonder that I'm stronger, wonder
Now I'm stronger
Stronger
Queen bee
Are you telling me that you're lonely
Queen bee
Well you got b out of your mind
Queen bee
Got to believe what you tell me
Queen bee
Won't you let me out of your hive
For the last time
You ain't a friend of mine
A friend of mine, a friend of mine:
The lyrics to Pink Cream 69's "Queen Bee" seem to be about a person who has gone through tough times and has come out on the other side stronger. The singer talks about how they have served their time and are guilty of nothing but have faced many challenges. They sing about experiences of feeling like a piece of meat that has been chewed and spat out, witnessing greed, and wasting time thinking they were wrong. However, through it all, they have become stronger and are not the kind of person to get stuck in the mud.
The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Queen Bee" multiple times, seems to be addressing someone or something that the singer is pushing against. The lyrics ask if this being is telling the singer that they are lonely, then command them to let the singer out of their hive. The singer declares that this being is not a friend of theirs. The metaphor of the Queen Bee and her hive could symbolize a person or system that the singer has been trapped in or oppressed by, and they are fighting to break free.
Overall, the song seems to be about resilience, pushing against power structures, and ultimately finding strength in oneself.

Done my time I'm guilty of nothing
I have served my time for nothing, I am innocent
My fighting days are over
I am done fighting
Faces names they change so fast
People's faces and names change so quickly
Come on Lord I feel much stronger
I feel stronger with the help of the Lord
Too many days just wasting my time
I have wasted too much time
Thinking that I was wrong
Thinking I was mistaken
Lady, I'm not the kind to get stuck in the mud
I am not the type to get stuck in one place

An analogy for someone who is controlling and manipulative
Are you telling me that you're lonely
Are you implying that you are lonely?
Well you got b out of your mind
You must be out of your mind
Got to believe what you tell me
I need to trust what you are saying
Won't you let me out of your hive
Will you please let me go from your control?
For the last time
This is the last time I will have to deal with you
You ain't a friend of mine, no
You are not my friend
I've tasted the gutter like a peace of meat
I have been at my lowest
That you chewed and spit away
That has been discarded like garbage
I can't believe that I witness your greed
I am shocked by your greediness
I'm stronger by the day
I am becoming stronger every day
Lord have mercy on this pitiful soul
I pray that the Lord has mercy on me
It never should be this way
This is not how things should be
You can break down the door
You can try to get through my defenses
You can drill into my mind
You can try to manipulate me mentally
You can run me into the ground
You can try to wear me down
Now I wonder that I'm stronger, wonder
I am surprised that I have become stronger
Now I'm stronger
I am strong now
You ain't a friend of mine
You are not my friend
A friend of mine, a friend of mine
I am emphasizing that you are not my friend
