They were originally envisioned a "duo" comprised of Renard and Jackal Queenston, but that was later ignored and the alias is currently portrayed as the "Figurehead" design. They produce anthem style drum and bass with influences from liquid DnB and trancestep, many times much happier than the other drum and bass alias Jackal Queenston.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Queenstons's song "Motives And Us" can be interpreted in various ways, but one possible explanation is that it's about someone seeking freedom, guidance, and purpose in life from another person. The first line, "Set me free," indicates a desire to break free from something that's holding them back, perhaps a difficult situation or negative emotions. The next line, "Show me what it means to be alive and moving on," suggests that this person is looking for someone to teach them how to live fully and move forward in life.

The following line, "I'll show you what it's like to be here when I'm..." is incomplete and leaves room for interpretation. However, it could signify that this person is willing to reciprocate and show the other person what it's like to be present and engaged in their relationship or in life in general. The overall tone of the song is reflective and contemplative, with a hint of vulnerability and a desire for connection.

Set me free
Liberate me from my current state

Show me what it means to be
Teach me the true essence of existence

Alive and moving on
Living and progressing forward

I'll show you what it's like to be
I will demonstrate to you what it means to exist

Here when I'm gone
Even after I have left, my presence will still be felt
