The Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can cry, it's alright
Let the tears drain out the past
Mister, mister, tell me when I grow tall
Color me with lies so I can hide another ten fold
Ready to shoot me down, swallow up the clouds drain the poison from your veins so you can talk and think aloud
Mister, mister, monster at your front door
Ready to shoot you down, throne the broken crowns
Broken kingdom when you shoot up but you never reach the clouds
And someday you're gonna know
Why you fell down to the floor
Wonder how you got this way
All the wrongs and rights you made
Every single time you try to bring me back up
Fall into the deepness and the darkness
Monsters under my bed, I'm being haunted
You left me waiting for the moment
That you admit that this was all your fault, bitch yeah, I've been going through emotions
Yeah, you didn't know that I would notice
That you're just using me, I'll tell me
Mister, mister, tell me when I grow tall
Color me with lies so I can hide another ten fold
Ready to shoot me down, swallow up the clouds drain the poison from your veins so you can talk and think aloud
Mister, mister, monster at your front door
Eating up inside with all them feelings you can die for
Ready to shoot you down, throne the broken crowns
Broken kingdom when you shoot up but you never reach the clouds
The lyrics to The Boy's song "Crown" delve into themes of deception, emotional turmoil, and self-empowerment. The opening lines "People lie, feelings die / But you're all you'll ever have" suggest that in a world where people are dishonest and emotions can fade, one's own self is the only constant and reliable presence. It is acknowledging the existence of pain and allowing oneself to cry, recognizing the importance of letting go of past hurt and moving forward.
The mention of the character "Mister" serves as a metaphorical representation of a manipulative individual. The line "Color me with lies so I can hide another ten fold" indicates a desire to be shielded with false information to escape the harsh reality. It echoes the way some people choose to believe in deceit as a way to cope. However, the lyrics also hint at the consequences of such actions, as in "swallow up the clouds drain the poison from your veins so you can talk and think aloud." This line suggests that by letting go of the lies and freeing oneself from toxic influences, clarity and self-expression can be attained.
The repetition of "monster at your front door" emphasizes the agonizing presence of this individual who consumes the singer's emotions. There is a feeling of being trapped and haunted by the actions of this person. The mention of "throne the broken crowns, broken kingdom when you shoot up but you never reach the clouds" symbolizes the shattered dreams and false promises that have been made. It portrays a sense of disappointment, as the person in question may have ambitions but never truly achieves them.
The following section highlights the singer's struggles and the emotional toll they have endured due to the manipulation and mistreatment they have faced. The line "Every single time you try to bring me back up / Fall into the deepness and the darkness" showcases the cyclical nature of the relationship, where the individual continuously attempts to uplift the singer but ultimately ends up causing more harm. The mention of "monsters under my bed, I'm being haunted" further emphasizes the emotional torment suffered.
The lyrics conclude with a sense of self-realization and empowerment. The repetition of the line "Mister, mister, tell me when I grow tall" serves as a reminder of the singer seeking validation and truth from this manipulative figure. The mention of "drain the poison from your veins so you can talk and think aloud" implies the need to purge the toxicity from their life to regain clarity and authenticity. The reference to "broken crowns" and a "broken kingdom" suggests that the relationship has been tarnished and damaged. The final line expresses a sense of hope and eventual understanding, as the singer realizes that they will learn from their experiences and gain a deeper understanding of their own strength.
