You Should See Me in a Crown

## Music Video

"**you should see me in a crown**" is a single by Billie Eilish from her debut album, *WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?*. It is the fourth track and the album and was released on July 18th, 2018 after being premiered on *BBC Radio 1* with Annie Mac.

## Cross-references

* The line "Fell for these ocean eyes" is a direct reference to *Ocean Eyes*.
* Possible reference: "The silence is my favorite sound" might be a reference to The Sound Of Silence.

## Theme

Lyrically the song is about being a ruthless monarch and dominating the world. The theme could also be interpreted to mean taking control in a relationship, and not letting others have power over you.

## Background

In an interview with Annie Mac, Billie stated that the song was inspired by the TV show *Sherlock*. "We wrote this song 'cause of *Sherlock*, actually, 'cause there's a scene where Jim Moriarty says, "You should see me in a crown" and me and my brother were like "hey that's jiggy as fuck". Then we just sorta made the song about being jiggy I guess, and you should see me in a crown, so there it is."

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Bite my tongue, bide my time

Wearing a warning sign

Wait 'til the world is mine

Visions I vandalize

Cold in my kingdom size

Fell for these ocean eyes

**[Chorus]**

You should see me in a crown

I'm gonna run this nothing town

Watch me make 'em bow

One by one by one

One by one by

You should see me in a crown

Your silence is my favorite sound

Watch me make 'em bow

One by one by one

One by one by one

**[Verse 2]**

Count my cards, watch them fall

Blood on a marble wall

I like the way they all scream

Tell me which one is worse

Living or dying first

Sleeping inside a hearse

I don't dream

You say, "Come over, baby

I think you're pretty"

I'm okay, I'm not your baby

If you think I'm pretty

**[Chorus]**

You should see me in a crown

I'm gonna run this nothing town

Watch me make 'em bow

One by one by one

One by one by

You should see me in a crown

Your silence is my favourite sound

Watch me make 'em bow

One by one by one

One by one by one

**[Chorus]**

Crown

I'm gonna run this nothing town

Watch me make 'em bow

One by one by one

One by one by one

You should see me in a crown

(You should see me, see me)

Your silence is my favourite sound

(You should see me, see me)

Watch me make 'em bow

One by one by one

One by one by one
