===== The Queen’s circus-like persona also ties into the long-standing association between clowns and mental illness. Clowns are often symbols of paradox—joy and sadness, control and chaos. The idea that the Queen is both “wrong” and “all right” aligns with the contradictions found in conditions like bipolar disorder, where someone can be both euphoric and struggling, or in dissociation, where someone performs normalcy while internally disconnected. =====

There’s also an element of madness as performance—a theme explored in everything from Shakespeare’s King Lear to David Bowie’s Aladdin Sane. The idea of the Queen “putting it on” suggests someone who is constantly performing, which aligns with the experiences of those who struggle with mental health while trying to maintain an outward facade of control.

The lyrics acknowledge that the Queen isn’t what she seems, yet she remains magnetic. This could reflect the way neurodivergent and mentally ill individuals are often misunderstood—dismissed as chaotic or unstable when in reality, they possess depth, creativity, and insight.
