About This Track

Aurora builds a kingdom from defiance and care. The underdogs become lions, the silent ones a choir, women transformed into soldiers bearing the weight of living. She moves between warrior and lamb, between dominion and surrender, collapsing the distance between strength and vulnerability. The song's landscape is hers alone: sea waves as an evening gown, mountains as thrones, a queendom made without permission. The refrain arrives as both declaration and prayer, repeated until it becomes incantation. She hunts for empathy, offers shelter to those who need it, extends belonging as an act of will. There is tenderness in the architecture here, a queendom built not on conquest but on the radical choice to welcome others in. The music video carried this message forward, Aurora herself affirming her connection to her LGBT audience through a gesture of solidarity and love.

"Queendom" is a single by Aurora, from the album Infections of a Different Kind (Step 1), released 27th September 2018. The track is 3:27 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 16 articles about Aurora.

Lyrics

Queendom

The underdogs are my lions
The silent ones are my choir
The women will be my soldiers
With the weight of life on their shoulders

Drink until you've had enough
I'll drink from your hands
I will be your warrior
I will be your lamb

'Til queendom come
'Til queendom come
My queendom come
My queendom come

The sea waves are my evening gown
And the sun on my head is my crown
I made this queendom on my own
And all the mountains are my throne

Drink until you've had enough
I'll drink from your hands
I will be your warrior
I will be your lamb

'Til queendom come
'Til queendom come
My queendom come
My queendom come

My queendom come
My queendom come

I hunt the grounds for empathy
And hate the way it hides from me
With care and thirst I have become
You have a home in my queendom
You have a home in my queendom
You have a place in my queendom
You have a home

'Til queendom come
'Til queendom come
My queendom come
My queendom come
My queendom come
My queendom come
My queendom come
My queendom come
My queendom come
