Lyric discussion by sirxander 

Cover art for Disco Queen lyrics by Pain of Salvation

apart from the meaning, which I think was pretty much well understood by funkgott, let's talk about the music. this song is fucking amazing. it's some kind of paradigmatic progressive song. progressive metal composers should not be ashamed of mixing genres up. this is a perfect example of how prog metal artists are supposed do accept everything inside their songs, even disco bits. somehow this song reminds me of some other songs which have been very important in the contemporaneous progressive scenery. I really must say that scarsick probably puts pos together with some other giants of prog like dream theater, porcupine tree or symphony X.
