Plus Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Is Lorde, the girl who sings Royals asexual? If you look at the lyrics, she seems like she has some asexual tendencies [Verse 1] I've never seen a diamond in the flesh I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies And I'm not proud of my address, In a torn-up town, no postcode envy But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room, We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams. But everybody's like Cristal*, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece. Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash. We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair. And we'll never be royals (royals). It don't run in our blood, That kind of luxe just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz. Let me be your ruler (ruler), You can call me queen Bee And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule. Let me live that fantasy. [Verse 2] My friends and Iwe've cracked the code. We count our dollars on the train to the party. And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this, We didn't come for money. But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom. Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room, We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams. But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece. Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair And we'll never be royals (royals). It don't run in our blood That kind of luxe just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz. Let me be your ruler (ruler), You can call me queen Bee And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule. Let me live that fantasy. Ooh ooh oh We're bigger than we ever dreamed, And I'm in love with being queen. Ooh ooh oh Life is great without a care We aren't caught up in your love affair. And we'll never be royals (royals). It don't run in our blood That kind of luxe just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler (ruler), You can call me queen Bee And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule. Let me live that fantasy.

Guest Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Ask her yourself. No, seriously. Ask her. She's the only one who can give an answer. Link to post Share on other sites
SorryNotSorry Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I like the song so much I bought the CD, but IMO the lyrics sound more like they have to do with a bunch of bratty high school girls putting on airs than being asexual. Link to post Share on other sites
Callisaurus Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 What do you mean? I read over the lyrics a couple of time but apparently you're seeing something that I'm not seeing. Link to post Share on other sites
Plus Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 The message of the song is that average normal people don't relate to songs about getting wasted and having sex all the time. I think of that as an asexual like view. It's possible, and if she was she could be like our public figurehead besides DJ, that would be super cool. Link to post Share on other sites
