The Princess
Saidian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You´ve been to Paris
You´ve been to New York
Eating the hearts of men with golden knife and fork

You play with their goodness
And pain is your game
A poisonous kiss – no one will be the same
Satan´s child
You’re the princess of the night
Saturated (in) wicked pride
Seven deadly sins – but one to make you cry!
`Cause you
Are the angel of despite
It´s your beauty that belies
Seven deadly sins – just one to make you die!

I can remember the first time
I looked into your eyes
The coldness inside them hits me with a blade of ice

And it´s my obligation
For I know the truth
You are the princess – killed by her fool

Satan´s child
You’re the princess of the night
Saturated (in) wicked pride
Seven deadly sins – but one to make you cry!
`Cause you
Are the angel of despite
It´s your beauty that belies
Seven deadly sins – just one to make you die!

I´m the one to purify
And I will be your guide
I´ll be the fire that burns your pride away
And you – for all the fools that cry
You´ll pay eye for an eye
Your execution waits

Satan´s child
You’re the princess of the night
Saturated (in) wicked pride
Seven deadly sins – but one to make you cry!
`Cause you
Are the angel of despite
It´s your beauty that belies
Seven deadly sins – just one to make you die!

Oh it´s true my dear - Lies soon catch up with one
The lordship of your wicked pride will die




It´s destiny - Pride goes before the fall
The fairytale comes true!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Saidian's "The Princess" tell the story of a woman who revels in her power and takes pleasure in causing pain to men. She is described as having been to glamorous cities like Paris and New York, and she delights in eating the hearts of men with a golden knife and fork. The singer warns that this woman's beauty is deceptive, and that behind her eyes lies a coldness that can cut like a blade of ice. Despite her power, however, there is one deadly sin that can bring her down: pride. The singer promises to be the one to bring her down, to "purify" her and guide her to a reckoning for her actions.


The song is full of powerful imagery, from the golden knife and fork to the coldness of the princess's gaze, and the lyrics make it clear that this is a woman to be feared and respected in equal measure. Despite her evil nature, there is a sense of tragedy to her fate, as she is ultimately undone by her own pride.


Overall, "The Princess" is a song about power and its corrupting influence. It warns against the dangers of pride and the lure of beauty, and it shows how even the most powerful women can be brought down by their own flaws.
