Shinedown – Yer Majesty

"Yer Majesty" as written by Anthony C. Battaglia, Brent Smith, Barry Kerch, Brad Stewart and Jasin Todd....
Come closer inside
There's something I need you to see
It's just a picture of what the ignorant believe
I come so you can know me
I'm here to make you proud
I come to wreck and guide you
I'm here to show you how

You know I'm coming for you
Cause I got nothing to lose
And now I'm still on my way for the pay

[Chorus:]
So you wanted to be free from everything you've done to me?
And you wanted to be known so you wouldn't feel so alone?
And you wanted to believe that you steal our integrity?
And I'm sorry you're on your knees, but you can't blame me, yer majesty

Let's take a moment
I need to spoil who you are
I played your game once
You sold me out with no regard
I come so you can know me
I'm here to make you proud
I come to wreck and guide you
I'm here to voice out loud

You know I'm coming for you
Cause I got nothing to lose
And now I'm still on my way for the pay

[Chorus: x2]

    General CommentThat's what he said at Edge's Twisted Christmas last night. And he did that too; he screamed "I DON'T LIKE YOU" and we all screamed back "FUCK YOU." It was too badass!

    General CommentIt's about a king who depends on the people he rules. He doesn't realize how much he depends on them, and it's time they showed him that without the ruled, the ruler is nothing. If you depend on someone, do your best not to piss them off, or they'll abandon you at best, come after you at worst.

    General CommentI think this is about a relationship (big surprise, eh?). Basically, she probably cheated on him or lied to him in someway, and it fucked her over. How, I don't know, but she got tangled up, and now she's crawling back to him asking for help. She's on her knees, begging him no less, but he won't hear it.

    "So you wanted to be free from everything you've done to me?
    And you wanted to be known so you wouldn't feel so alone?
    And you wanted to believe that you steal our integrity?
    And I'm sorry you're on your knees, but you can't blame me, yer majesty..."

    She wants him to forget about she did to him and pretend like it never happened, but he won't take it. And the last line, he calls her, "Yer Majesty," sort of in a mocking way, I think. Like she was so high and mighty when all that shit happened, but now she's nothing.

    "Let's take a moment
    I need to spoil who you are..."

    When she comes back to him, he takes a moment to remind her of what she did, or "spoil who you are."

    GREAT song. Shinedown kicks ASS.
