Cover art for The Consort lyrics by Rufus Wainwright

I think it's about how a long time ago a lot of relationships were forbidden. This relatioship grew from a friendship to the two people falling in love even though they aren't supposed to.

The relationship is forbidden because she is a "queen" compared to him.

In a gay sense, it means an important secretly gay man is in love w/ a man who everyone knows he is close to, but not necesarily gay with. The consort wants him to come out, and trust that he will always support him and make him happy, hense "dissolve your mind", like he'll make it so the important things seem unimportant when they are finally together.

Whew.
