Great H Returns
The Queenstons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got a look on your face
Like you saw something great
Well I'm back from space too
And I found something new
But my story's gotta wait
It doesn't matter what I've done
Something is showing through the cracks in your skin
I thought you were a humanoid
Like me a humanoid (x 3)
Like me
(Humanoid)
I rode so many cosmic rays
I ruled so many galactic days
I wanna say I've overcome
All of the problems that I faced
And I've still got spare energy
So you know the next time you're around
You're gonna have to deal with my universal sound
Blasting through like mothafuckin' starlight
It doesn't matter what I've done
If you're gonna step on my shoulders to act like the taller one
Something is showing through the cracks in your skin
I thought you were a humanoid
Like me a humanoid (x 3)
Like me
The lyrics to The Queenstons' song Great H Returns tell a story of two individuals who have returned from space and are comparing their experiences. The first person has a look of wonder and amazement on their face, as if they have seen something truly great, while the second person has also found something new but is not yet ready to share their experience. However, the song takes a turn when the first person begins to act superior and steps on the second person's metaphorical shoulders to assert their dominance. The second person then realizes that the first person is not as human-like as they thought and questions their identity as a humanoid.
The lyrics contain themes of discovery, conquest, and identity. The two characters have gone through similar experiences, yet their attitudes towards their experiences and each other are vastly different. The first person is arrogant and condescending while the second person is more reserved and contemplative. The second person also questions their own identity after realizing that the first person may not be what they seem.
Overall, Great H Returns is a commentary on how people react to new experiences and how those experiences can shape their attitudes towards themselves and others.
