the face i stay silent with

You see her, you can't touch her You hear her, you can't hold her You want her, you can't have her You want to, but she won't let you You see her, you can't touch her You hear her, you can't hold her You want her, you can't have her You want to, but she won't let you

verse: you are no longer her, but they still see her. she no longer exists, they can no longer have her, they can no longer hold her, no matter how much they want to.

She's not so special, so look what you've done, boy She's not so special, so look what you've done, boy She's not so special, so look what you've done, boy She's not so special, so look what you've done

chorus: this could go one of two ways: you are the one saying the girl you presented as before is not some miracle, you’re still you, just different now. that is not something to ruin any kind of relationship over. OR, it could be the other party’s pov: do you really think you’re so special to change everything about yourself (the latter is not a thinking I prescribe to or encourage!)

And now you wish she'd never Come back here again Oh, never Come back here again

post chorus: this is once again your point of view, you don’t want to go back to pretending to be something you aren’t.

And now I'm nailed above you gushing from my side It's with your sins that you have killed me Thinking of your sins, I die Thinking how you'd let them touch you How you'd never realise that I'm ripped and hang forsaken Knowing never will I rise again

bridge: (before I get into this part, i’m clarifying that I personally am not religious, feel free to correct me if I get anything wrong) the religious aspect plays a big part in a lot of bigotry and misinformation, and this seems like some sort of argument against that. jesus was crucified because people didn’t believe what he said he was, and he was persecuted for that. then theres the aspect of sin. do people truly think us living our true lives is such a sin? whenever people speak about transness being sinful, I always think of this one quote i’ve seen a few times on tumblr: did god not create trans people for the same reason he created grapes but not wine, or grain but not bread, so we, too, could be involved in the divine act of creation? that quote attaches itself onto the lyric “thinking of your sins I die,” as we’ve already discussed the metaphorical death of the girl the people close to you thought they knew. as for the second half of the bridge, I feel like this could be about how no matter how much we try to explain it, cisgender people don’t understand how it feels to be trans. not even we fully understand how it is for everyone, since it’s something so unique to each and every person
