Queen of Nothing

Aleksandra
alt-pop, emo trap, pop punk, girlsband/girls group, 3 different girls voices singing, female vocal only, repetitive hooks, dark wave, vibrant synths, mesmerizing, guitar, bass, singer A: soft, drawl, high notes singer B: raspy, deep singer C: rapper, hip-hop vibes, A dark, hypnotic minimalist pop track at 115 BPM, The production is sparse and spacious, centered around a distorted, throbbing sub-bass (808) that dominates the low end, The percussion is dry and minimal—mostly crisp snaps, tongue clicks, and a muted kick drum, leaving plenty of silence between beats, The instrumentation includes eerie, detuned synthesizer plucks that sound like underwater bells, The vocal performance is the focal point: a very close-mic, dry female lead vocal that alternates between a melodic, breathy croon in the low register and spoken-word whispers right up against the microphone, panning effects to make the whispers move from the left ear to the right ear, sinister, sultry, ASMR-like textures

[Intro] Red wine on the white floor Lipstick on the cracked throne Told you I was made for more But I sold my name for a crown of smoke (ooh) [Verse 1] Signed my soul on a napkin Coffee ring over my fate He said “Baby You can have it” Every wish Every gate Now I’m waking up in mansions Can’t remember how I came Every mirror in this palace Keeps on asking me my name [Pre-Chorus] Is it even me In the diamond glass Every smile I fake Got a price tag All my pretty sins In a velvet stack And I can’t take it back [Chorus] I’m the queen of nothing Holding court with ghosts All my gold means less Than the love I lost My kingdomcome Is built on sand and smoke I made a deal with the devil Now I’m wearing his cloak Queen of nothing Queen of nothing Oh Is it even me On this hollow throne [Verse 2] Midnight in the tall tower Bored of every glittered lie Every party tastes sour Every prayer comes dry He keeps whispering “You’re flawless” While he’s tightening the strings Every blessing feels lawless Every halo starts to sting [Pre-Chorus] Is it even me In these borrowed gowns Every cheer I hear Is a lonely sound All my wildest dreams Feel like burial mounds They’re just painted crowns [Chorus] I’m the queen of nothing Holding court with ghosts All my gold means less Than the love I lost My kingdomcome Is built on sand and smoke I made a deal with the devil Now I’m wearing his cloak Queen of nothing Queen of nothing Oh Is it even me On this hollow throne [Rap Break] Yeah He said “Bow Baby Bend that will” Cold ink when the pen first spilled Now I live where the sky stands still Got a hill made of dollar bills But I can’t pay back time Can’t trade my spine For a spotlight line Every “like” online Just a lifeline tied To a flatline I’m a headline bride To a red-eyed king With a bored routine Got a gold-plated cage Where the floor’s unseen And the more I scream Then the more I gleam ‘Cause the pain looks good On a TV screen Is it even me or a ghost in a gown Little girl lost in a paper crown If this is what my kingdomcome is now It can all burn down Let it all burn down (hey) [Bridge] Take my rings Take my name Take the choir Take the fame If I walk out Bare and brave Would I still be Worth the same If I lose this Borrowed face Will my heart Still know its place If I’m nothing But my veins Will you love me Anyway [Chorus] I’m the queen of nothing Holding court with ghosts All my gold means less Than the love I lost My kingdomcome Is built on sand and smoke I made a deal with the devil Now I’m breaking his hold Queen of nothing Queen of nothing Oh Is it even me If I let this go [Outro] Bare feet on a cold road Crown rolling in the dust Every step feels like a slow fall But I’m learning how to trust If I’m stripped of every title Every borrowed Shining thing Then my kingdomcome Is just my honest heartbeat And I’d trade every throne For that small Wild ring (oh) Queen of nothing But I might be free
