In this track, the artists confront themes of power dynamics and personal autonomy within a relationship. The lyrics depict a scenario where one partner feels oppressed and controlled by the other's insecurities and demands. The phrase "bend the knee" serves as a metaphor for submission, which is ultimately rejected by the protagonist. The song's narrative underscores a rebellion against subjugation, emphasizing self-respect and independence. By refusing to conform to unreasonable expectations, the protagonist asserts their right to individuality and self-determination. This defiance is encapsulated in the repeated directive to "bend the knee," which transforms from an imposed command into a declaration of resistance against control and manipulation.
Bend The Knee
Lyrics
Yeah
Yeah
This is a riot
You kept me in silence
Now I'm saying it all (what you saying, baby?)
'Cause nobody wonders (yeah)
That under the covers
You smother us all
Say what you want
Gimme the rules
Make me take off the clothes that I choose
'Cause you're so insecure
Don't even know what for
You look so fragile
Less masculine
When you complain
Ask where I've been (yeah)
You want something
Better bend the knee
You, you bend the knee
You, you bend the knee
You, you bend the knee
Better bend the knee
You, you bend the knee
You, you bend the knee
You, you bend the knee
Better bend the knee
What you saying to me, girl?
What you saying to me, girl?
What you saying to me, girl?
This is a protest
It's time to confess
'Cause you play it all wrong
'Cause nobody wonders
That under the covers
You smother us all
Say what you want
Gimme the rules
Make me take off the clothes that I choose
'Cause you're so insecure
Don't even know what for
You look so fragile
Less masculine
When you complain
Ask where I've been (what you want, baby?)
You want something
Better bend the knee
You, you bend the knee
You, you bend the knee (what you saying to me, girl?)
You, you bend the knee
Better bend the knee
You, you bend the knee
You, you bend the knee (what you saying to me, girl?)
You, you bend the knee
Living alone
Calling night and day (calling night and day)
Make me play your game
I'm fine on my own (fine on my own)
Going solo (yeah)
With my own company
Better know your place
Better bend the knee
You, you bend the knee
You, you bend the knee (what you saying to me, girl?)
You, you bend the knee
Better bend the knee
You, you bend the knee
You, you bend the knee (what you saying to me, girl?)
You, you bend the knee
Better bend the knee
What you saying to me, girl? (Please bend a knee)
What you saying to me? (Please bend a knee)
What you saying to me? (Just bend a knee)
Yeah
