About This Track

‘Crown’ by Etta Marcus is an alternative song from ‘Heart-Shaped Bruise - EP’ released in 2022. The lyrics stage a volatile triangle, with a narrator watching someone betray the group dynamic, then trying to draw a hard line: “three’s a fucking crowd”. There is resentment, but also a cool refusal to stay, as the voice insists, again and again, that they will not stop. The language keeps returning to sight, blindness, and the idea of a throne, making the central conflict feel less like romance and more like power and exclusion.

"Crown" is a track by Etta Marcus, from the album Heart-Shaped Bruise - EP, released 4th November 2022. The track is 3:43 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Etta Marcus.

Lyrics

Crown

He sold me out to his mother
But I don't hate him now
I know you had his ear
We were two plus another
And three's a fucking crowd
I don't want you here

And you won't stop
No you won't stop
He's blind to it now
He's blind to the throne you wear
I won't stop
No I won't stop
Tryna break your crown
I will catch you out and tear you down

Say hello to his mother
She treats you like a son
Hope you're having fun
I don't care if you think you're smart
Get your thrill from a broken heart
I don't care cause I'll burn down your palace

And you won't stop
No you won't stop
He's blind to it now
He's blind to the throne you wear
I won't stop
No I won't stop
Tryna break your crown
I will catch you out and tear you down

From the start
Know you had it in for us
From the start
Know you had it in for us

And I don't care if you think you're smart
Get your thrill from a broken heart
I don't care if you think you're smart
Get your thrill from a broken heart
I don't care if you think you're smart
Get your thrill from a broken heart
I don't care if you think you're smart
Get your thrill from a broken heart

And you won't stop
No you won't stop
He's blind to it now
He's blind to the throne you wear
I won't stop
No I won't stop
Tryna break your crown
I will catch you out and tear you down
