By Your Throne
Scarlet White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I, know I'm done, without a fighting chance.
Kick me while i'm done
I deserve less than that you now.
Like a worm lives in his grave.
And the world decides his fate.
Now! I see it in your eyes.
You! I feel it in my bones!
And now i'm gonna try to stand on my owm and be just like you!
We fake what's real, don't realize,
We, wash our blood, on wings of purity.
Let's remove our crowns.
We're better than that now.
We play kings like it's fantasy
Let the throne decide for me!
Now! I see it in your eyes.
And now I'm gonna try to be just like you. To be just like
You! I feel it in my bones!
And now i'm gonna try to stand by your throne and be just like you!
I always fail... Now! I see it in your eyes.
And now I'm gonna try to be just like you. To be just like
You! I feel it in my bones!
And now i'm gonna try to stand by your throne and be just like you!

The singer acknowledges that they don't have what it takes to succeed without help from someone else. This person's self-esteem is so low that they believe they deserve to be treated poorly: "Kick me while I'm done, I deserve less than that you now."
The second verse concludes with "Let the throne decide for me," indicating a lack of control over their life, being at the mercy of the circumstances that surround them. The chorus describes the singer's desire to be like the person they admire: "And now I'm gonna try to be just like you. I feel it in my bones! And now, I'm gonna try to stand by your throne and be just like you!" Here, the "throne" symbolizes a position of power or authority that the admired person possesses, and the singer wants to be close to them and learn from them.
Overall, the lyrics of "By Your Throne" express a sense of longing for guidance and support from another person, and a belief that by following their example, the singer can find a path to success.
