"Snow White Queen" is the sixth track on the second album, The Open Door.
Background
One of the first songs written for The Open Door,[1] "Snow White Queen" was inspired after Lee had experiences with stalkers.[2] 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."[3] 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.
The song title was taken from Amy's username Snow White on EvBoard, EvThreads and EvClub, official forums that are no longer active.
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", a song from their 2000 demo album, Origin.
Lyrics
Stoplight, lock the door You'll never know the way your words have haunted me You belong to me, my Snow White Queen Wake up in a dream I can't escape the twisted way you think of me You belong to me, my Snow White Queen I can't save your life You belong to me, my Snow White Queen All I want is you |
