The Dø Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, you, wow, how ? This is pretty damn queer
Oh shit now we’re stuck together for real
Oh I can see you’re looking down on me and
Frowning and groaning oh I don’t like this, no I don’t like this
Did i just hear your stomach gurgling like this - ooh
It’s a little fucked up to be stuck in here don’t you think
Well now you’re laughing at me, but you wont trap me
Please do take your time I said i’m cool, i’m cool,
I’ll let you be um -cynical, critical, lyrical, chemical
Well brother you can do better than that I assure you
Cos you could be seminal criminal eminal animal -
Seminalcriminaleminalanimal bi-biblical
And god knows- analitical
Hello kids
I’m gonna have the sharpest flow
And you’re gonna tremble and go home
Go home
Well no i’m not going anywhere cos I wanna stay
And beg you to tell me your secret tips
I’ll let you taste my lips if I have to but please
Tell me how, teach me how
Tell me how, teach me how !
Oo mister… can i call you twista, huh ?
Guess who resurrected, guess who’s infected
Guess who’strying to jump out the frame
Escape the flames of hell on my back
But no, you never expected, mister inspecta,
Never expected this to spoil your diagnosis,
Lord knows your hypothesis’ whack
You should know who’s leading the plot right now
You should see who’s feeding the wolves by now
Well now its time to grab my lipstick and
Blab til my lips burnred, anyway
You’re not alone on the ring, no you never was
You’re not the only bloke with a sting
Ever heard of a crowned fighter dressed all in white
Ever heard of the mighty lady queen dot kong
Queen dot kong
The lyrics to The Dø's song Queen Dot Kong seem to describe a tense and somewhat adversarial relationship between two people in close quarters. The singer is aware of the uncomfortable atmosphere and feels judged by the other person, and even hears their stomach rumbling in annoyance. However, the singer also seems determined not to be trapped by the other's "tricks" and asserts their own confidence and ability to dodge them. Then a shift occurs in the lyrics as the singer starts to take on a more aggressive, confrontational tone, challenging the other person and asserting their own dominance. The repeated mantra of "tell me how, teach me how" transforms into "you should know who's leading the plot right now" and the suggestion that the singer is a "crowned fighter dressed all in white", invoking images of powerful, regal figures. The final declaration of "Queen dot kong" seems to solidify the idea of the singer as a powerful ruler, perhaps one who has conquered her opponents and emerged victorious.
Overall, the song seems to be about asserting oneself in the face of adversity and challenging others to face their own weaknesses. The singer moves from a position of feeling judged and dismissed to a position of power, where she confidently takes charge and demands respect. The lyrics are filled with playful wordplay and inventive rhymes, creating a sense of energetic momentum that propels the song forward.

I have overcome obstacles and challenges that have held me back, despite your unfavorable opinion of me. Your predictions and assumptions about me are incorrect and flawed.
You should know who’s leading the plot right now You should see who’s feeding the wolves by now
The person in charge and responsible for what is happening at the moment should be obvious to you.
Well now its time to grab my lipstick and Blab til my lips burnred, anyway You’re not alone on the ring, no you never was You’re not the only bloke with a sting Ever heard of a crowned fighter dressed all in white Ever heard of the mighty lady queen dot kong Queen dot kong
It is time for me to speak my mind and assert my power, just as many others have done before me. I am a formidable opponent and should not be underestimated, as I possess the strength and bravery of a queen.
