Killer Queen
Queen* Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake," she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minor
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's out to get you
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Insatiable an appetite

The lyrics to Queen's song "Killer Queen" depict a glamorous and seductive woman who is adorned with luxurious items like Moët et Chandon champagne, caviar, and cigarettes. The line "let them eat cake" is a reference to Marie Antoinette's infamous quote, which Queen uses to highlight the Killer Queen's lavish lifestyle. The Killer Queen is portrayed as someone who has the power to entice and manipulate men through her beauty, charm, and insatiable appetite. The song also mentions political leaders Khrushchev and Kennedy as potential victims of the Killer Queen's charm, referencing the Cold War era in which the song was written.
As the song progresses, it becomes clearer that the Killer Queen is not to be underestimated. She is described as a "dynamite with a laser beam" and "guaranteed to blow your mind," suggesting that there is a dangerous side to her. Despite this, the song still presents her as an alluring figure who is "playful as a pussy cat" and willing to please, but never predictable as she "never kept the same address."
