Marie
The Leader Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like where we are
Don't wanna push my luck, baby, I see how we are
Just once a mistake, and I'll lose you, and at what cost?
I'm nervous I could mess this up, let's stay where we are
You know I'm not wrong
Am I really what you want?
Look how I'm feeling now, sitting here hopeless again
Wish I could tell you but I don't want this story to end
Wish you were here in the nighttime, I need you closer to me
And I could keep it a secret but that won't be easy for me
I can't get enough, love
I just want your love, no
I can't get enough
I just want your touch, no
I like where we are
Don't wanna push my luck, but babe, I see how we are
Just once a mistake, I'll lose you, and at what cost?
I'm nervous I could mess this up, let's stay where we are
You know I'm not wrong
Am I really what you want?
Stay forever, make it better
When we are together, there's something you can't deny
Don't be scared, baby
I wanna go and see what the future has waiting on me
Hope it's you and me
I like where we are




Don't wanna push my luck, but babe, I see how we are
Just once a mistake and I'll lose you and at what cost?

I would point out that The Royal Aunts disliked Marie Antoinette from the moment she arrived at Versailles and not because Marie Antoinette did anything. Senior courtiers disliked Marie Antoinette because of the Austrian war, and many, including the aunts, believed she was a spy. The aunts put an act on, pretending to like and support her in an attempt to convince an immature Marie Antoinette to snub notable courtiers favoured by the King, such as Madam Du Barry. The Royal aunts often spread terrible rumours about her and often attempted to bring the marriage down. As Marie Antoinette matured, and could likely see what the aunts had been doing, she ended her relationship with the aunts by saying the simple sentence "There are a lot of people at Versailles today" a sentence she said to Du Barry which brought her favour from Louis XV, ultimately ending the aunts toxic influence over her.

I would also like to point out that "Madam Deficit" was a nickname the Queen gained in the 1780s. In her first few years as Queen she enjoyed immense popularity from an optimistic french public who believed the young King and Queen would make drastic changes to how the country was being governed.

Its also worth pointing out that Marie Antoinette's unpopularity started at Versailles, largely because she began to undo the previously strict court protocols at Versailles, (such as removing the custom of public dining and introducing informal family dining) whilst spending increasing amounts of time away from court at her own private residence. It is also who she decided to spend her time with, people who where not believed to be of high enough rank to be within The Queen's inner circle. This upset senior courtiers who spread viscose rumours which trickled down to the public.

Its also worth mentioning that one of the major contributing factors for her declining popularity was the rumour that the property in Paris, Saint Cloud, was about to be given to her. The thought of a foreigner owning property in Paris which could then be inherited by Joesph II horrified the public at the time.

This is a good video, a bit all over the place, but it misses out the significance of Marie Antoinette's life at court which resulted in her unpopularity, whilst missing parts out such as her huge popularity with the public as Dauphine and her earlier years as Queen.

Why were the doors closed to the people, if Louis didn’t have anything to do with it?

Last week I named my new rescue dog Marie Antoinette “Nette”! It fits her perfectly! Subscribed!💛

“I was a queen, and you took away my crown; a wife, and you killed my husband; a mother, and you took away my children. My blood alone remains: take it, but do not make me suffer long.”
Marie Antoinette

@ottomeyer6928

very sad indeed

@ethanramos4441

@@ottomeyer6928 Indeed it is as she lost everything her crown, her husband, her children, and eventually her head

@henryford2950

She actually never said that. That's another myth, too. Also, she faked her death. The entire revolution was fake.
