I Am The Queens Of Comparison
The Rescue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sweating desperation
But you're too dim to pick up on it
It's like I'm standing underneath
The pink flamingo flashing
I will settle down with the first one who swoons me
I am the queen of comparison
So I will fuck you on my floor
We'll stain the sheets or wave our flag
But I know we'll never have what I once had with him
Sweep me off my feet and we'll saute our skin
On that dead boy's bed
I want to feel you fuck me
Because there wasn't much to feel anymore
(What if I told you
That you have the most
Beautiful friends in the world?
I don't think so)
With the soul stolen
Frame and magnet
On the fridge
My fucking canvas
That dead boy does not exist.
The lyrics of the song "I Am The Queen of Comparison" by The Rescue are raw, emotional, and dark. The song speaks to the human desire for love and intimacy, and how that desire can sometimes lead to desperation and irrational behavior. The first line of the song, "I am a widow and I need a man to carry me," sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer is vulnerable and seeking comfort, but at the same time, she is also struggling with deep loneliness.
The second line, "I'm sweating desperation," further emphasizes the singer's need for companionship. However, the next line, "But you're too dim to pick up on it," suggests that the singer is not getting the attention she desires. She feels like she is standing under a flashing pink flamingo, desperate for someone to notice her, but no one is paying her any attention.
The chorus, "I am the queen of comparison," reveals the singer's struggle with self-worth. She is constantly comparing herself to others and feels like she will never measure up. She is willing to settle down with the first person who shows interest in her, but she also knows that she will never have what she once had with someone else. The lines "Sweep me off my feet and we'll saute our skin on that dead boy's bed/I want to feel you fuck me because there wasn't much to feel anymore" are particularly haunting and suggest that the singer is still grieving for someone she has lost.

Proof that a band can do absolutely everything right musically and still not "make it". Cursive and Bright Eyes on Letterman and these guys couldn't get a break. I will never understand this.
