The queen is voiced by Stone Salads mother because her voice needed to sound older and Russian. Buzz and Red Evening, the next song, are supposed to tell a story together. Human condition: Corruption.
lyrics
[Verse/chorus]
Buzzing of the bees
A hum in the distance intriguing me
Steps draw me near
I enter their world while mine disappears
My minds in the hive
I'm being awakened while going inside
Gold lines the walls
I'm beckoned with splendor and distant calls.
[Bridge]
Follow the voices that are calling me
I see the beauty of the bee
All united, no questions asked
To serve the state with their given task.
And after all I'd seen
The one calling me was
the Queen.
