Snow White Queen (song)

""Snow White Queen"" Released January 1, 2006 Length 4:43 Label Wind-up Records Chronology "Cloud Nine" "Snow White Queen" "Lacrymosa"

"Snow White Queen" is the sixth track on the second album, The Open Door.

Background

"Snow White Queen" was inspired after Lee had experiences with stalkers. She stated, "My privacy had been completely invaded and there were a couple of nights where I couldn't stay at my house. So I wrote a song about it through the eyes of the stalker, and with my perspective, too." Entertainment Weekly's Jon Dolan found similarities between the song and Tori Amos' "Me and a Gun". It uses several industrial beats into its composition.

Amy sings her lowest note in this song during the line: "Can't escape the twisted way you think of me."

The instrumental loop in the background is a much slower, pitched dropped version of the instrumental loop from "Even in Death".

Lyrics

Stoplight, lock the door Don't look back Undress in the dark And hide from you, all of you You'll never know the way your words have haunted me I can't believe you'd ask these things of me [ever and ever] You don't know me [ever and ever] Now or ever You belong to me, my Snow White Queen There's nowhere to run so let's just get it over Soon I know you'll see you're just like me Don't scream anymore, my love, 'cause all I want is you Wake up in a dream Frozen fear All your hands on me I can't scream, I can't scream I can't escape the twisted way you think of me I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep [ever and ever] I don't sleep [ever and ever] You belong to me, my Snow White Queen There's nowhere to run so let's just get it over Soon I know you'll see you're just like me Don't scream anymore, my love, 'cause all I want is you I can't save your life Though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting I'm losing my mind And you just stand there and stare as my world divides You belong to me, my Snow White Queen There's nowhere to run so let's just get it over Soon I know you'll see you're just like me Don't scream anymore, my love, 'cause all I want is you All I want is you All I want is you All I want is you [Forever and ever, ever and ever]
