The song "The Queen City Song" by Jonezetta explores themes of loss, grief, and holding onto memories of loved ones. The lyrics suggest that the protagonist took someone's body and turned it into ashes. They then went to a waterside location to watch as the dust of the deceased person mixed and collided with the elements. The "old man" mentioned in the song may be a representation of the protagonist's inner voice or conscience. The refrain "No, no it won't help you, No, no it won't" could be the protagonist realizing that their actions and attempts at finding solace in these rituals won't ultimately bring them any relief or closure. The song also talks about being lost inside a day that never happened, possibly alluding to the feeling of being trapped in a perpetual state of grief or longing. The line "In the back of your mind, I'll find you" suggests that the memories of the loved one will always be present, no matter how much time passes. The verse "Everyone holds on to someone they loved, That's how the trouble starts, That's when it falls apart" indicates that holding onto memories can also cause difficulties in moving on or finding peace. The protagonist ponders whether this is the end of everything they've ever known, emphasizing the depth of their loss and the impact it has on their life. Overall, "The Queen City Song" explores the complex emotions associated with loss and the struggle to move forward while still cherishing memories of loved ones.
