Guillotine
YADi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lay down your pistols.
Call off your dogs,
Show no resistance.
You’ll fall like a guillotine,
Kneel before the queen.
You’ll fall like a guillotine,
Raise up your walls,
Tighten your blindfold.
Pacing at dawn,
Hide in a foxhole.
You’ll fall like a guillotine,
Kneel before the queen.
You’ll fall like a guillotine,
And I will rise.
I don’t need blue blood,
Running through my veins,
Because like a queen, like a queen,
I can make you say you love me.
I don’t need blue blood,
Running through my veins,
Because like a queen, like a queen,
I can make you love me.
(Woah, oh, woah, oh)
(I can make you love me)
(Woah, oh, woah, oh)
(I can make you love me)
Lay down your swords,
Lay down your pistols.
(I can make you love me)
I’ll hit your heart,
From any distance.
(I can make you love me)
You’ll fall like a guillotine,
Kneel before the queen.
(I can make you love me)
You’ll fall like a guillotine,
And I will rise.
I don’t need blue blood,
Running through my veins,
Because like a queen, like a queen,
I can make you say you love me.
I don’t need blue blood,
Running through my veins,
Because like a queen, like a queen,
I can make you love me.
Envy and ire, darkness and light
Gods can have it all, so why can’t I?
Love and desire, life after life,
The gods can keep it all, if you’ll be mine.
And I will rise, and I will rise. (Woah-oh)
And I will rise, and I will rise.
I don’t need blue blood,
Running through my veins,
Because like a queen, like a queen,
I can make you say you love me.
I don’t need blue blood,
Running through my veins,
Because like a queen, like a queen,
I can make you love me.
The song "Guillotine" by YADi is an anthem of power and control, with the singer taking on the persona of a queen who demands complete surrender from her subjects, symbolized by the repeated refrain "You'll fall like a guillotine, Kneel before the queen." The opening lines are an invitation to lay down weapons and show no resistance, placing the queen in a position of dominance without the need for violence. The second verse paints the picture of paranoia and fear, with the image of walls being raised and blindfolds tightened, before culminating with the declaration that the queen can "hit your heart, from any distance."

Brilliant song, talented young lady! Discovered her last night at an open mic night. It saddens me though how there's many untalented artists in the music industry and there's people like this who can actually sing!! On another note, she's bloody amazing live!! :)
Tia B
YADi is absolutely amazing!! This song is an absolute hit and it's a matter of time before she breaks through, I predict massive success. She is also Algerian as I am and can't tell you how proud thr Algerian community is. Hannah Yadi you rock sis
